Notes:
1. Release units (cutters) have a serial number
on heat shrink tubing attached to the cable.
This number identifies the cutter. A table of
cutter numbers with their corresponding dates
of manufacture is available at www.cypres.cc.
2. It is possible that the cutter plug may separate
from the socket after a CYPRES 2 activation.
In the unlikely event of this occurring in
combination with a water landing, the socket
must be dried out before further use. To do
this, tap the open end of the socket onto a flat
surface such as a table top. Keep tapping the
socket until no more water comes out, then
store the CYPRES 2 with the open end of the
socket facing down for another 24 hours in a
dry area to allow the socket to fully dry out.
When completely dry, insert the plug of the
new cutter. Never insert an object (such as a
Q-tip) to dry out the plug.
3. Use a one-pin cutter in a one-pin container
and a two-pin cutter in a two-pin container.
Do not use release units (cutters) after the end of the
cutter service life (16.5 years after DOM) Used release
units (cutters) that are/were attached to a CYPRES unit
are also subject to technical servicing/maintenance.
See Section 14.1. New release units (cutters) that have
never been attached to a CYPRES unit and were in
storage (according to the manufacturer’s instructions)
do NOT need to be sent in for maintenance within the
service time frame.
