1pin - 2pin

What is the difference between a 1-pin and 2-pin model of the CYPRES?

Most reserve containers are held closed by a reserve ripcord with a single ripcord pin going through a single closing loop. Some reserve containers, mainly older ones, are closed by a ripcord with 2 pins going through 2 different closing loops (often one length of material with a loop at each end).

The CYPRES works by cutting the loop. If your container has 2 loops, you need a 2-pin CYPRES with 2 cutters. Most modern containers use a single loop and therefore require a 1-pin model. Purchase the CYPRES that’s compatible with your container.

What if I Purchase a Rig Requiring a 1-pin CYPRES, but I have a 2-pin Model?

No problem! We support you converting your 2-pin CYPRES to a 1-pin or vice versa.

You turn in your old 1-pin cutter, and we will charge you only 50% for the 2-pin cutter. It gets even better when you turn in your old 2-pin cutter – in this case, we will give you the 1-pin cutter for free.

Contact us or your preferred CYPRES dealer to get the appropriate cutter, switch your unit off and simply unplug the ‘old’ cutter and plugin the new one. That’s it.
