CYPRES and water jumps
When you intend to perform a water jump, you must remove the CYPRES prior to the
jump or install a CYPRES Water Resistant Kit (see 4.5.1).
Do not reinstall the CYPRES until the rig has been dried out completely, because
CYPRES is NOT moisture-proof.
If you have made a jump into freshwater with CYPRES installed, and there has been
only a short contact with the water, there may be no harm caused to the unit. This can
be checked by an immediate inspection of the installation pocket or the outside of the
processing unit to make sure they are not wet.
However, should you detect humidity in the installation pocket or on the outside of the
processing unit, we recommend that you send CYPRES back to us with a short
description of what happened. We will inspect it to ensure its continued safe operation.
Due to the fact that saltwater is an aggressive fluid we recommend to avoid any
contact of saltwater and CYPRES
4.5.1
The CYPRES Water Resistant Kit
When you intend to perform a water jump with the backing of the CYPRES, it is
recommended to protect the CYPRES with the CYPRES Water Resistant Kit.
With this special installation the CYPRES can be made water resistant for 15 minutes
at a water depth of up to 15ft / 5m.
The first sealings can only be performed at Airtec or SSK. Once installed, the water
resistant version needs more maintenance and care.
For detailed information please refer to the CYPRES Water Resistant Kit Instruction
Manual.
