What is HRS? Spinlock still considers a knife to be an essential piece of carried equipment. However, we have yet to develop a reliable consistent safety line clip release system. Instead, we are focused on developing a release system of the actual lifejacket harness. Testing showed that the harness release system needed to be simple to understand, simple to use and simple to maintain as well as reliable over the lifetime of the lifejacket. At the same time, the harness release system must meet the requirements of the ISO12402 approval. Staying connected to the boat is undoubtedly safer than being in the water and use of a safety line is actively encouraged. However, in the event of a fall overboard, a casualty can find themselves being dragged/trapped alongside or behind the vessel. A situation which can be hard to be released from. Inflation System: UML Pro Sensor ELITE inflator The Pro Sensor Elite® Automatic Inflator replaces the Pro Sensor® Automatic Inflator late in 2018 (13mm shorter and 4 grams lighter than the original Pro Sensor® Automatic Inflator). This is a water sensitive activation system, that uses a compressed paper capsule which dissolves when wet, which then releases a spring to puncture the CO2 cylinder. The cap is designed so that only water flowing upwards through the unit will cause it to activate. Water, spray and rain running down the jacket will not cause activation. The Pro Sensor ELITE has two indicators that show the status of the CO2 cylinder and firing head. FAQs Is the Deckvest 6D AIS compatible?Yes — the product specification lists MOB1 AIS compatibility. What warranty is offered with the product?A 5‑year warranty is available on product registration as stated in the product details. What CO2 cylinder size is required?The Deckvest 6D requires a single 33g CO2 cylinder for the inflation system. What is the buoyancy rating of the Deckvest 6D?Deckvest 6D provides 170N buoyancy and is also listed with ISO12402-2 275N approval in the product specifications. Which inflation system is fitted and how does it activate?The lifejacket uses the UML Pro Sensor ELITE automatic inflator — a water‑sensitive system that activates when the dissolvable capsule is exposed to water flow upward through the cap. Are lights fitted to the jacket and which types?Yes — the jacket is fitted with a Pylon 360° lifejacket light and Lume‑On bladder illumination lights as part of the standard specification. Is a Harness Release System (HRS) available?Yes — an optional Harness Release System (HRS) is offered to allow release of the soft loop attachment point in an emergency. Where is the HRS activation handle located?The HRS activation handle is located behind the soft loop attachment, designed to be easy to locate, grab and pull to release the soft loop.
