INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM.
This manual provides you with information about the function and use of the KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM. It applies to every
backcountry snow sport including snowmobiling and snowbiking.
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 KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM is emergency equipment, which under certain avalanche 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 KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM should not
encourage you to take greater risks. This product can only help mitigate the risk of participating in dangerous sports.
In the event of an avalanche, the user must tug on the trigger handle in order to activate the inflation: this inflates the 150 liter
avalanche airbag under 4 seconds.
The KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 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 effect. The avalanche backpack helps
prevent total burial in the snow while you are flowing with the avalanche. The airbag’s shape protects the back and the head of the user.
Moreover, the rounded shape gives optimal float efficiency on the avalanche and the bright airbag color helps rapid identification.
The KLIM ALPRIDE®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).

DELIVERY
ALPRIDE®E1 SUPERCAP
SUPERCAPACITORS
The E1 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 E1 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 E1 System to release its power faster.
The E1’s SuperCapacitors offer several advantages over batteries. They are not sensitive to changes in temperature, delivering the
same performance at -22 ºF (-30 ºC) and +104 ºF (+40 ºC). 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 E1 System uses a radial compressor, similar to turbo compressors found in cars. This design allows for high-speed air flow and
inflation pressure equal to compressed air cartridge avalanche airbag systems.
2 x AA BATTERIES
The E1 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 AA zinc carbon batteries and NiCd or NiMH accumulators (rechargeable). These are often not strong enough to sufficiently
charge the SuperCapacitors.
Depending on the AA batteries technology, recharge and autonomy can vary:
• Alkaline batteries:
– are capable of 1 recharge OR 2 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.
• 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.
MICRO-USB PORT
The micro-USB port (5V – 2A) makes it possible to recharge the SuperCapacitors using the USB / micro-USB cable provided.
Charging can be completed with a standard USB charger (5V - 2A) (not included), like those used for cell phones. Recharging the
SuperCapacitors with the micro-USB cable takes priority over recharging via the 2 x AA batteries.
The SuperCapacitors can be recharged with the micro-USB cable even in the absence of the AA batteries.
ON / OFF AND AUTO-TEST
To turn on the E1 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 E1 System conducts an auto-test to verify that the motor, SuperCapacitors and electronics are functioning
properly.
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. This indicates 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.
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 sec-
onds).
TERRAIN USE AND LED STATUSES
To use the E1 System on terrain, you will need to:
1- Turn ON the E1 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 inflate 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 sec-
onds).
To activate the airbag inflation, pull hard (between 11 to 22lbs) (5 to 10 kg) on the activation trigger.
AIRBAG INFLATION
In the event of an avalanche, pull hard (between 11 to 22lbs) (5 to 10 kg) on the activation trigger. The airbag will inflate in under 4
seconds.
The compressor will operate for 6 seconds and then stop.
The airbag will remain inflated for a minimum of 3 minutes and then slowly begin to deflate.
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
3 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 on your vehicle, try to ride
out of the avalanche if possible. 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.

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.
Depending on the type of batteries and the temperature, charging takes 40-80 minutes.
2- Use the micro-USB port and the standard micro-USB cable (provided). The USB port can be connected to a standard charger (5V -
2A) (not included), like those used for cell phones, or to a standard power bank. 5V - 1A chargers will take 40 minutes, 5V - 2A
chargers will take 20 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 color.
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 possible)
Orange: medium charge – the charge level guarantees 100 % inflation of the airbag but with less than 6 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 port.
• Charging with the USB 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 cable.
• If the system is charging in OFF mode, the LEDs will not blink but charging will continue.
• The system recharges automatically. If the airbag is inflated, the system will begin to recharge on the batteries or the USB port
immediately.
• 2 x AA batteries allow for 1-3 recharging cycles of the SuperCapacitors (depending on the quality of the batteries used and the
charging temperature).
WARNING: Do not leave the USB cable connected while using the E1 System in the terrain. After charging is complete, remove the USB
cable.
SUMMARY OF LED STATUSES
AUTONOMY OF THE E1 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 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 AA batteries. However we strongly suggest to always use it with the batteries to ensure
extended autonomy.
If used without batteries and the LEDs status are flashing green, the autonomy is a minimum of 6 h.

INSTRUCTIONS
REGULAR CHECKS
Your KLIM avalanche backpack requires no unordinary maintenance but the following points have to be observed:
1- Deploy the airbag before the new season starts or at least once a year or after the backpack has been exposed to moisture / wet
weather. Check its condition, allow it to dry and fold it back together again.
2- Pack the airbag away only when it is completely dry.
3- Prior to every ride, check all the points described in this user manual and inspect the condition of the system’s safety straps and
fastenings.
Practice deploying the airbag so you have a feel for the amount of force you need to apply. In the event of a real avalanche, you will then
be able to deploy it correctly and intuitively.
MAINTENANCE
POST-AVALANCHE CHECK
Every use of the KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM can negatively affect the material. Often the damage is not visible with the naked
eye. After a use in an avalanche, contact the authorized KLIM dealer where you have bought your KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM
for further inspection.
If you are unable to send the KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 AIRBAG SYSTEM, then following points are recommended to check:
• Check the airbags visually for punctures.
• Check the airbag fastening straps for tears.
• Check the shoulder, waist and chest straps as well as the seams for tears.
• Check all buckles (adjustment buckles at the shoulder straps, waist and chest strap).
• Check buckles as well as leg straps for tears and deformation.

INTRODUCTION
Nous vous félicitons d’avoir acheté le SYSTÈME D’AIRBAG KLIM ALPRIDE® E1.
Ce manuel vous renseigne sur le fonctionnement et l’utilisation du SYSTÈME D’AIRBAG KLIM ALPRIDE® E1. Il s’applique à tous les sports
d’hiver de randonnée, y compris la motoneige et le snowbike.
Veuillez lire attentivement ce manuel avant d’utiliser le produit. Accordez une attention toute particulière aux avertissements et respectez
scrupuleusement les informations données dans ce manuel d’utilisation. Afin d’être en mesure de consulter facilement ce manuel
d’utilisation, nous vous suggérons de le conserver dans un endroit pratique.
Le SYSTÈME D’AIRBAG KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 est un équipement d’urgence qui, s’il est activé sous une avalanche, peut empêcher un
ensevelissement complet. Il ne peut pas empêcher le déclenchement d’une avalanche. Un risque mortel subsiste même si l’utilisateur
n’est pas enseveli. Toute avalanche constitue un danger mortel, indépendamment de tout équipement. Le SYSTÈME D’AIRBAG KLIM
ALPRIDE® E1 ne doit donc pas vous encourager à prendre davantage de risques. Ce produit a pour unique vocation de minimiser le risque
que représente la pratique de sports dangereux.
En cas d’avalanche, l’utilisateur doit tirer sur la poignée de déclenchement afin d’activer le gonflage : l’airbag de protection en cas
d’avalanche de 150 litres se gonfle alors en moins de 4 secondes.
Le concept du SYSTÈME D’AIRBAG KLIM ALPRIDE® E1 se base sur le principe physique de la ségrégation inversée. Il s’agit d’un
phénomène où l’on observe que dans une masse de particules se déplaçant uniformément, les particules les plus petites tombent vers
le bas et celles de plus grande taille remontent à la surface. L’airbag gonflé augmente le volume de la victime et amplifie grandement cet
effet de ségrégation inverse. Ce sac à dos de protection en cas d’avalanche empêche un ensevelissement complet dans la neige lorsque
vous êtes pris dans l’avalanche. La forme de l’airbag protège le dos et la tête de l’utilisateur. En outre, la forme arrondie permet de flotter
idéalement sur l’avalanche et la couleur vive de l’airbag permet un repérage rapide.
Le SYSTÈME D’AIRBAG ALPRIDE® de KLIM est certifié par TÜV Süd (Daimlerstr. 11, 85748 Garching bei München, Allemagne.) comme
répondant aux obligations de la législation européenne (UE 2016 / 425).

CONTENU
SUPER COND ALPRIDE® E1
SUPER CONDENSATEURS
Le système d’airbag de protection en cas d’avalanche E1 est le premier airbag d’avalanche à se passer de piles lithium-ion ou lithium
polymère pour alimenter le moteur électrique du compresseur.
Le système E1 utilise ses super condensateurs pour stocker l’énergie sous forme de champ électrostatique. Contrairement aux piles
traditionnelles, il n’est pas nécessaire de créer une réaction chimique pour générer de l’énergie, ce qui permet au système E1 de libérer
plus rapidement sa puissance.
Les super condensateurs de l’E1 offrent plusieurs avantages par rapport aux piles. Ils ne sont pas sensibles aux changements de
températures, fonctionnant tout aussi bien à -30 °C qu’à +40 °C. Cela permet d’économiser du poids car à la différence des piles, il n’est
pas nécessaire de booster les super condensateurs pour garantir une excellente performance lorsque les températures sont basses.
Tandis que les piles ont tendance à rendre l’âme après plusieurs charges, les super condensateurs tiennent la distance. Ils sont
garantis pour 500 000 cycles de recharge avec une longévité quasi infinie, clairement supérieure aux 3 à 5 ans de vie d’une pile
moyenne. En outre, les super condensateurs sont considérés comme des éléments électroniques passifs, à l’instar par exemple des
appareils photos, ils peuvent donc être emmenés en voyage, expédiés ou stockés sans problème. Un avantage majeur par rapport aux
piles traditionnelles et systèmes de cartouche de gaz comprimé.
LE COMPRESSEUR RADIAL
Le système E1 utilise un compresseur radial, similaire aux turbocompresseurs présents dans les voitures. Cette conception permet une
circulation d’air rapide et une pression de gonflage similaire aux systèmes d’airbag d’avalanche à cartouche d’air comprimé.
2 PILES AA
Le système de super condensateur E1 utilise deux piles AA à deux fins principales :
1- pour recharger les super condensateurs
2- pour garantir que les super condensateurs restent à pleine puissance, suppléant à leur lente perte de charge et garantissant
plusieurs mois d’autonomie (voir la section dédiée à l’autonomie).
