Cyprus 2 Service Bulletin - April 2008

Issue date : 21.04.2008

Bulletin number : C2 0408

Subject : Recall of certain CYPRES 2 units

Status : Mandatory

Identification :

CYPRES 2 from the production period during August 2006 to October 2006.

The affected serial numbers are listed on the pages number 2 & 3.

Background :

Earlier this year we experienced two unwanted activations in Australia. Nobody was hurt. Both

units have been examined extensively at Airtec, with the finding that a defective sensor caused the

activation in both cases. As both units passed the more than 14 days period manufacturing testing

process without any noticable problems, we must assume that it is possible that there are more

units of this production batch in use with a similar sensor defect. As a precaution, we have decided

to recall all potentially affected CYPRES 2‘s for a preventive sensor replacement.

Service Bulletin :

Please compare the serial number of each CYPRES 2 with the attached list. Note that it is not

necessary to open the reserve container, as it is easy to check the CYPRES 2 serial number on

the display. (See your CYPRES 2 User Guide for more info.)

In case your unit is affected, please forward it to Airtec - Germany, or to SSK Industries in the US.

All necessary work will be done as quick as possible and free of charge, including return shipment.

As compensation Airtec will include a check in the amount of $ 70.00 US for each affected unit

upon its return. Treated units will wear a sticker and have a certification.

We appologize for the inconvenience this may cause, however we feel it is necessary to ensure

your safety.
