IKS 3000 - Safety Check

We have identified a potential issue that may affect some IKS 3000 units. As a precaution, we are asking all IKS 3000 users to carry out a simple safety check before using their unit again.

In the only case reported to date, the inward-running side of the grey cord loop could move in relation to the outer cord layer and the black cover.

The following check will help identify whether your IKS 3000 may be affected. Please complete it before your next flight.

Safety check 

  1. Hold the inward-running side of the grey cord loop in one hand and the end of the black-covered section in the other. 
  2. Pull the two sections in opposite directions, as indicated by the arrows in the image, applying a force of approximately 2 kg (20 N). 
  3. Check whether the inward-running side of the grey cord loop moves in relation to the outer black-covered section. 

Important: Make sure you pull directly on the inward-running side of the grey cord loop indicated in the video, not on the outer cord layer. Otherwise, the result of the safety check will not be valid. 


Results 

If the inward-running side of the grey cord loop remains fixed and there is no movement: the IKS 3000 is functioning correctly, and no further action is required. 

If the inward-running side of the grey cord loop moves or slips: stop using the IKS 3000 and replace it immediately. In affected units, this movement occurs easily when the specified force is applied.
