vladavr 0 #1 February 26, 2004 Is it possible/legitimate to use Cypres 2-pin in Vector 3 rig without converting it into 1-pin by replacing cutter? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 February 26, 2004 Nope... The AAD has to be determined to be compatible with the harness and a two pin will not work with a Vector since there is no place for the extra cutter to go. The two pin is only approved for Racers and Teardrop (2 pin models) and maybe a few other foriegn rigs.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladavr 0 #6 February 26, 2004 Thanks for replies. That probably means that I'd have to replace my 2-pin cutter with 1-pin cutter to be able to use it in Vector 3, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #7 February 26, 2004 PM Me about this, Maybe I can help you out - I just changed my system from a 1-pin to a 2-pin When I bought my new Racer....=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #8 February 26, 2004 AirTec does have a published procedure for doing this. I just have to find it. Basically you end up carefully coiling the extra cutter and cable inside the pocket for the unit at the botom of the reserve container. It may not be necessary if the unit is new enough. Newer units have a "field replaceable" cutter. These are easily swapped by the rigger servicing your gear. You'll have to get a replacement cutter. Contact SSK. Older 2 pin units without the "field replaceable" cutter can be modified by SSK, or AirTec as well. I think costs are minimal.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know of several folks who have done this same thing. Don't know the legal issues with it, or the ramifications. I am curious though. I am NOT curious about what other riggers THINK is the right or wrong about this.my pics & stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, here's an answer straight from the source. 2-pin Cypres in 1-pin container To me, it makes sense to store the extra cutter in the channel beside the control unit cable. The excess cable pocket is already pretty crowded ... less chance of kinking a cable.Alpha Mike Foxtrot, JHL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atsaubrey 0 #14 February 26, 2004 I was asking the same thing last week. I talked to Eric at SSK and they'll change it over for free...but you pay for return shipping."GOT LEAD?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linestretch 0 #15 February 26, 2004 dude, you rock! That is EXACTLY what I needed to read. Someone had asked me to do that to thier rig, and I wasn't to thrilled about it, not knowing if it was legal.my pics & stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livnbored 0 #16 February 27, 2004 I had no idea if it was really legal... but it makes sense enough. Very good info to know. Thanks everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
