Release unit
Installation of the release unit (EOS) varies from system to system, depending on the
design. Detailed information is contained in the "Rigger's Guide for Installation" and in
individual equipment manufacturers instruction booklets.
To ensure correct operation of the release unit (EOS) the reserve closing loop(s) must
be made of the correct diameter Polyamide material and the top except for 1/2 "
above the disc must also be silicone impregnated (but see page 40 for special
instructions concerning single pin pop-top containers). The silicone reduces wear and
tear and increases flexibility of the loop. Furthermore, the force needed to pull the
reserve ripcord pin is reduced.
Loops supplied by Airtec are pre-treated on the first 2".
