Page 3: Warning
1. Warning Skydiving is a dangerous activity which can result in serious or even fatal injury. Training and experience are required in order to reduce such risk. Using the m safety device during skydiving can significantly reduce the risks. Never solely rely on the m , since it is not the primary tool for opening of your parachute. -
Page 4: Introduction
2. Introduction The m safety device provides automatic cutting of the closing loop of the reserve parachute in cases where the safety of the skydiver is in danger. It is constructed and manufactured based on the latest skydiving research. Its function fully complies with the requirements of current skydiving. -
Page 5: Function
3. Function Construction and principal The m is constructed in order to comply with the requirements for resistance and correct function in all situations. It operates with minimum requirements for energy consumption, which enables it to retain a sufficient energy source capacity for its entire service life without the necessity of battery replacement. - Page 6 3. Function 3.3.3 The m function for landing at a different altitude above sea level than the altitude the aircraft takes off from Only three options can occur in regard to the skydiver´s landing: Landing location at the same elevation as the take-off location in such a case, the m device requires for the aircraft to ascend up to at least 40m;...
- Page 7 3. Function Landing location higher than the take-off location The m device must be preset to the positive value for the elevation difference between the take-off and landing location altitudes. The altitude lock in such a case depends on the landing location, i.e. as per version 450m or 900m, plus the specified altitude difference. In order to provide problem-free functioning and take-off detection ability in such a case, the m device requires an ascent up to at least 40m above the take-off location and, upon reaching and exceeding this preset altitude of +40m, remaining above this altitude level...
- Page 8 3. Function Landing location lower than the take-off location The m device must be preset to the negative value for the elevation difference between the take-off and the landing location altitude. The altitude lock in such cases depends on the landing location, i.e. as per version 450m or 900m, minus the specified altitude difference. In or- der to provide problem free functioning and take-off detection ability in such cases, the m device requires an ascent up to at least 40m abo- ve the take-off location and, upon reaching the preset altitude of +40m, remaining above this altitude level for at least 90 seconds.
- Page 9 3. Function Should you accidentally land in a location 30m higher or lower than the preset landing elevation, switch the device off after landing and turn it on just before the next dive. The device must always be switched off during transport. 3.3.4 Altitude protection zone of the m device –...

4. Models EXPERT Activation occurs if the altitude above the landing area is below 270m (885 ft) and the descent speed is over 35 m/s (78 mph). The altitude lock is 450m (1475 ft). Activation will not occur under an altitude of 100m (330 ft). STUDENT Activation occurs if the altitude above the landing area is below 330m (1085 ft) and the descent speed is over 20 m/s (45 mph). -
Page 14: Installation
5. Installation Installation of AAD m into containers made by various manufacturers can be performed solely by those persons with senior-master ri- gger certification, or a holder of a comparable equivalent according to the legislation of the individual countries where the m is installed. - Page 15 5. Installation The thick cable of the control unit is always second and must be Cable of Control Unit placed on the wound thin cable. If the m device body is placed in such a way that the thick cable is higher than the thin cable, wind the cable counter-clockwise from the front view.
- Page 16 5. Installation Cables must not be placed in the pocket for the device body and, at the risk of cable damage, must not be even partially under the device body. Elastic pouch with Processing Unit Control Unit The cutter and the control unit location must comply with the harness manufacturer’s manual so that in both cases at least mi- nimum cable spacing is ensured.
