4 ALPRIDE E2 SUPERCAP
SUPERCAPACITORS
The E2 Avalanche Airbag System is the first avalanche airbag that does not use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries to fuel the compressor’s
electric motor.
The E2 System uses its SuperCapacitors to store energy in the form of an electrostatic field. Unlike traditional batteries, there is no need to create
a chemical reaction to generate energy, allowing the E2 System to release its power faster.
The E2’s SuperCapacitors offer several advantages over batteries. They are not sensitive to changes in temperature, delivering the same perfor-
mance at -30 degrees C and +50 degrees C. This saves weight because, unlike batteries, there is no need to boost the SuperCapacitors to guarantee
outstanding performance at low temperatures.
While batteries tend to wear out after repeated charges, the SuperCapacitors stay strong. They are guaranteed for 500,000 charging cycles with a
nearly infinite lifespan, clearly superior to the 3- to 5-year lifespan of the average battery. What’s more, the SuperCapacitors are considered passive
electronic elements, like cameras for example, so there are no restrictions to travel, shipping or storage. This is a major advantage over traditional
batteries and compressed gas cartridge systems.
THE RADIAL COMPRESSOR
The E2 System uses a radial compressor, similar to turbo compressors found in cars. This design allows for high-speed air flow and inflation pres-
sure equal to compressed air cartridge avalanche airbag systems.
AA BATTERIES
The E2 SuperCap System uses two AA batteries for two primary purposes:
1- to recharge the SuperCapacitors
2- to guarantee that the SuperCapacitors keep their full power, compensating for their slow loss of charge and ensuring several months of autonomy
(see the section on autonomy).
NOTE: Only alkaline or lithium (AA batteries) should be used (for quick recharging at very low temperatures).
Use brand new, premium quality Alkaline AA / LR6 batteries.
Do not use A A zinc carbon batteries and NiCd or NiMH accumulators (rechargeable). These are often not strong enough to sufciently charge the
SuperCapacitors.
Depending on the AA batteries technology, recharge and autonomy can vary:
• Alkaline batteries:
– are capable of 1 recharge OR 3 months autonomy of normal use (1.5 month if constantly on).
– it is strongly recommended to change the batteries after 1 recharge of the system (after inflation).
• Lithium batteries:
– are capable of 3 recharge OR 5 months autonomy of normal use (3 months if constantly on).
– it is strongly recommended to change the batteries after 3 recharges of the system (after inflation).

USER MANUAL / ENGLISH
1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system.
This manual provides you with information about the function and use of the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system. It applies to every out of bounds snow
sport enthusiast.
Please read this manual carefully before you use the device. Pay special attention to the warning notices and strictly adhere to the information within
the user manual. In order to be able to easily consult this user manual we suggest that you keep it in a convenient location.
The ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system is an emergency equipment, which under certain conditions can prevent a total burial if activated. It cannot prevent
the release of an avalanche. An element of deadly risk remains even if the user doesn’t get buried. Every avalanche is absolutely life threatening
regardless of any equipment. Therefore the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system should not encourage you to take greater risks.
In the event of an avalanche, the user must tug on the trigger handle in order to activate the inflation: this inflates the 162 litres avalanche airbag
within 3 seconds.
The ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system concept is based on the physical principle of inverse segregation. This is a phenomenon whereby, given a uniformly
moving mass of particles, the smaller particles sink downwards and the larger ones float to the surface. The inflated airbag increases the victim’s
volume and greatly amplifies this inverse segregation eect. The avalanche backpack helps prevent total burial in the snow. The airbag’s shape
protects the back and the head of the user. Moreover, the rounded shape gives optimal float efciency on the avalanche and the bright airbag color
helps rapid localization.
The ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system is certified by TÜV Süd (Daimlerstr. 11, 85748 Garching bei München, Germany.) to meet the requirements of the EU regulation
(EU 2016 / 425).
2 WARNING & APPROPRIATE USE
All safety equipment has its limits. carefully read and follow all the instructions.
The intended and reasonably foreseeable use of this backpack is solely: skiing,
snowboarding, snowshoeing. it cannot be used in water.
Do not submerge the system in water.
The ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system cannot prevent avalanches from occurring.
Avalanches are life-threatening, no matter what equipment is deployed.
Users must not take more risks simply because they are wearing a ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system.
Use of a avalanche backpack is no guarantee that total burial in snow will not occur.
The ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system requires careful handling and proper inspection before each use.
When packing the airbags make sure that nothing can tear or damage the airbag, inflator system and its fabric cover. also make sure that the
airbag can open up freely.
• Fold the airbag according to the instructions. improper folding inhibits the opening of the airbag, can lead to malfunctioning and can damage the
backpack.
• Alpride sa cannot be held responsible for injuries caused by an avalanche involving its ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system.
• Hazard is best avoided by avoiding hazardous situations.
• Keep children away from the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system.
• Be careful not to endanger other people when practicing the activation of the air-bag.
• In order to avoid an unwanted or inadvertent activation where other people could be harmed by such an accidental activation, it is recommended
that you stow the trigger handle in the shoulder strap sleeve with the covered zipper, especially on chairlifts, in gondolas, in or around a helicopter,
the bus, train, automobile, etc.
• the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system does not replace conventional avalanche rescue equipment: transceivers, shovels and probes should always be
taken on o-piste tours.
• the ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG system has to stay clean all time. in case of a spoiled inflator system, the function of the airbag system is not granted.
• do not use the alpride E2 with unauthorized carrying systems (backpack, vest, etc.).

MICRO USB-C PORT
The micro-USB-C port (5V – 3A) makes it possible to recharge the SuperCapacitors using the USB-C / micro-USB-C cable provided.
Charging can be completed with a standard USB-C charger (not included), like those used for cell phones. Recharging the SuperCapacitors with the
micro-USB-C cable takes priority over recharging via the 2 A A batteries.
The SuperCapacitors can be recharged with the micro-USB-C cable even in the absence of the AA batteries.
5 ON / OFF AND AUTO-TEST
To turn on the E2 System, use the ON / OFF switch. This safety switch
prevents undesired activation inside the bag. Pull the switch up, turn it
clockwise and hold for 2 seconds.
Each time it is turned on, the E2 System conducts an auto-test to verify
that the motor, SuperCapacitors and electronics are functioning properly.
During this self-test, the 3 LEDs light up chronologically to check that the
LEDs are functioning. Simultaneously, the LCD display blinks to check
that the LCD display is working properly and all icons are visible.
During this auto-test, the motor completes a first rotation at low
speed, switching on the green LED.
If the auto-test is succesfully completed, the motor rotates a second time and the green / orange LED will blink
>The system is ready for use.
If the auto-test detects a malfunction, the motor will rotate 4x and the red LED will remain on There is a problem in the system and it is not
operational.
If the system detects a malfunction and it is charging, the red LED will remain on and the orange LED will blink rapidly.
If there is a failure during the self-test, the following icon will be displayed on the LCD:
To turn the system OFF, pull the switch and turn it clockwise (same procedure as for turning ON). The motor will rotate 1 x and the red LED will turn
on and off again to indicate that the system has shut down.
NOTE: The LED blinking speed indicates that the system is either charging (2 x per second) or in standard ON mode (1 x every 3 seconds).
TERRAIN USE AND LED STATUSES
To use the E2 System on terrain, you will need to:
1- Turn ON the E2 System (see section 5)
2- Verify that the auto-test is okay (see section 5)
If the green LED blinks, the system is operational with at least six hours of autonomy
If the orange LED blinks, the system is operational with less than six hours of autonomy.
If the red LED blinks, the system cannot guarantee 100% inflation (but it will still attempt to inate the airbag as much as possible).
If the red LED remains on, the system is defective and should not be used.
NOTE: The LED blinking speed indicates that the system is either charging (2 x per second) or in standard ON mode (1 x every 3 seconds).
To activate the airbag inflation, pull hard (between 5 to 10 kg) on the activation trigger.
6 LCD DISPLAY
7 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The pressure relief valve is a solenoid-type electric valve and is active 3 minutes after the end of inflation for a maximum of 10 minutes or less
depending on the residual energy in the batteries or SuperCapacitors. It will then close automatically.
As soon as the valve is activated, the following icon appears on the LCD display.
The purpose of this valve is to reduce the airbag pressure 3 minutes after inflation. This is to reduce the stress on the seams and fabric of the airbag,
ensuring a longer lifespan inflation after inflation.
The pressure relief valve also allows passive and partial deflation of the airbag by reducing its pressure but does not allow complete deflation of
the airbag.
The operation of the pressure relief valve is controlled 3x during each self-test and can be clearly heard from the characteristic ticking noise (like
a Swiss watch!)
SuperCapacitor charge level
AA battery power level: if the batteries are missing or completely empty, the icon blinks
to indicate that batteries need to be changed or installed.

The purpose of this valve is to reduce the airbag pressure 3 minutes after inflation. This is to reduce the stress on the seams and fabric of the airbag,
ensuring a longer lifespan inflation after inflation.
The pressure relief valve also allows passive and partial deflation of the airbag by reducing its pressure but does not allow complete deflation of the airbag.
The operation of the pressure relief valve is controlled 3x during each self-test and can be clearly heard from the characteristic ticking noise (like a
Swiss watch!)

AIRBAG INFLATION
+ In the event of an avalanche, pull hard (between 5 to 10 kg) on the activation trigger. The airbag will inflate in 3-4 seconds.
+ The compressor will operate for 5 seconds and then stop.
+ The airbag will remain inflated for a minimum of three minutes, then the pressure relief valve will be activated, and a passive and partial
deflationof the airbag will take place.
+ Once inflation is complete, the SuperCapacitors will automatically recharge thanks to the two AA batteries if installed (see section 4)
NOTE: In compliance with the EN 16716 standard “Certification of Avalanche Airbags”, the airbag must remain inflated for a minimum of three
minutes. An avalanche airbag is not a life vest; therefore, it is normal that it does not remain inflated at full pressure for more than three minutes.
HANDLING DURING AVALANCHE INCIDENT
In the event of an avalanche, always try to reach a place of safety or escape from the path of the snowslip. If in the path, try also to remove your skis or
snowboard, as these have an anchoring effect in an avalanche. Once the avalanche appears to be losing momentum, close your mouth and hold your
arms in front of your face to create a life-saving air pocket. Once the avalanche has stopped moving and you can extract yourself, do not remove the
airbag and help others. Only remove when you are confident there is no more risk of a second avalanche.

9 CHARGE AND STATUS OF THE SYSTEM
RECHARGING THE SUPERCAPACITORS
There are two ways to recharge the SuperCapacitors:
1- Insert the two AA batteries (not included). The SuperCapacitors will be automatically recharged once the batteries are in place. Dependi
ng on the
type of batteries and the temperature, charging takes 40-80 minutes.
2- Use the micro-USB-C port and the standard micro-USB-C cable (provided). The USB-C port can be connected to a standard charger (not
includ
-
ed), like those used for cell phones, or to a standard power bank. Depending on the type of charger or power bank, charging takes 20-40
minutes.
The charging status is indicated by the rapid blinking of the LEDs (2 x per second).
The level of charge is indicated by the LED colour.
Red: low charge – the charge level cannot guarantee full inflation of the airbag (but it will still attempt to inflate the airbag as much as p
ossible)
Orange: medium charge – the charge level guarantees 100 % inflation of the airbag but with less than six hours of autonomy.
Green: charging is complete – the LED blinks slowly (1 x every 3 seconds).
NOTE :
• Before the first use, charge the system with the USB-C port. After prolonged storage without batteries (e.g., over the summer or a new s
ystem),
charging the SuperCapacitors will take longer than after inflation. After inflation there is still energy in the SuperCapacitors, but after p
rolonged
storage without batteries, the SuperCapacitors will be completely empty.
• Charging with the USB-C cable takes priority over the batteries. If the batteries are in place and the cable is connected, charging will be
carried
out via the cable without draining the batteries.
• Charging is also possible without batteries using the USB-C cable.
If the system is charging in OFF mode, The LED will blink but the system will remain in OFF.
• The system recharges automatically. If the airbag is inflated, the system will begin to recharge on the batteries or the USB-C port immed
iately.
• 2 AA batteries allow for 1-2 recharging cycles of the SuperCapacitors (depending on the quality of the batteries used and the charging t
empera
-
ture).
WARNING: Do not leave the USB-C cable connected while using the E2 System in the terrain. After charging is complete, remove the USB-C cable.

OSPREY / ALPRIDE E2 AIRBAG SYSTEM | Owners Manual
USER MANUAL / ENGLISH
AUTONOMY OF THE E2 SYSTEM
The system’s autonomy depends on the quality and energy of the AA batteries and the frequency and duration of use in ON or OFF mode. The times
listed below assume the use of high-quality alkaline batteries:
Approx. 2-3 months of autonomy with two new AA alkaline batteries not including recharge of the SuperCapacitors (new batteries inserted after
recharging the SuperCapacitors)
The system can be used without additional A A batteries. However we strongly suggest to always use it with the batteries to ensure extended
autonomy.
NOTE:
If the system is charged with the USB-C and used without batteries, it will only have a maximum autonomy of 12 to 24 hours, which is perfectly
normal because the AA batteries ensure the autonomy of the E2.
10 DEFLATING AND RE-FOLDING THE AIRBAG
The airbag should be deflated using the airbag’s draining knob. Lift the safety cover of the deflation button and press the button to deflate the airbag.
Once the airbag is deflated, the springs on the safety cover automatically close it.
To fold the airbag, see the folding scheme.
WARNING: The deflation button is equipped with an orange
indicator to ensure that the deflation button has returned to the
upper position and thus does not keep the non return valve in
the deflation position.
If the orange indicator is visible, this means that the deflation
button has not returned to the initial position and could keep
the check valve open. In this case, check that snow or ice is not
blocking the deflation button in the pressed position.
Do not use the E2 if the deflation button is jammed (orange
indicator visible).
After each deflation, check that the orange indicator is not
visible.
Deflate the airbag by pressing
the deflation button
