reference, which shows how to install the carabiner interface using a Twin-SRD format.
1. Open the Gate (A) of the carabiner interface. Slide the SRD (C) over the open Arm (B) of the carabiner. Then,
slide the SRD to the opposite side of the carabiner.
2. Hold the Gate (A) of the carabiner interface open, then slide the open Arm (B) behind and around both Harness
Straps (D), capturing the straps within the carabiner interface.
3. Thread the second SRD (E) onto the open Arm (B) of the carabiner interface. Then, release the Gate to close and
secure the carabiner interface.
4. Verify that the carabiner interface is secure and that both Harness Straps (D) are captured by the interface.
;
For Single-SRD formats, only one SRD should be attached to the carabiner interface. In this format, the
carabiner interface may be secured as outlined above, or directly to your Dorsal D-ring instead. If securing to your
Dorsal D-ring, do not capture the harness straps.
Certain harness models covered in these instructions include additional features for securing harness-mounted SRDs. See
below for how these features should be used:
•
INTERFACE LOOP:
The Interface Loop (X) is part of the backplate for certain harness models. The Interface Loop
serves as a secure connection point for harness interfaces behind the harness straps. See Figure 10C for reference.
To connect to the Interface Loop, the user should route their harness interface or its locking pin through the Interface
Loop as part of capturing the harness straps.
•
SRD ADAPTER:
Certain harness models include an external SRD Adapter (Y) for securing harness-mounted SRDs.
See Figure 1 for a list of models with SRD Adapters. When connecting to this type of SRD Adapter, the user does not
need to capture the harness straps. Instead, the user should route their harness interface directly through the SRD
Adapter. See Figure 10D for reference.
;
Only straight-pin harness interfaces may be used with the SRD Adapter. The user should route the locking pin of
their harness interface through the connection loop of the SRD Adapter.
