1.3 "Am I Qualified to Use this Equipment?"
As the new owner of a Rigging Innovations, Inc. Telesis 2 parachute system, before you use it, it is
very important that you can answer yes to several questions. Only by doing so can you be assured that you
have the necessary training and/or experience to safely utilize modern parachute equipment of this type.
Question 1: Does my experience level and/or training qualify me for using this equipment?
Advanced equipment such as the Telesis 2 have features requiring a certain level of
experience and training in order to be used safely.
Question 2: Have I been briefed or trained in the operation of this equipment by qualified personnel
such as an Instructor or licensed Rigger?
If you have progressed to the level where you are qualified to jump advanced equipment, or
if you have been trained on other types, there may be certain features of this system that you
are unfamiliar with. Make sure that you have received a thorough briefing from a certified
Instructor or Rigger for the type of equipment you are about to jump.
Question 3: Does the equipment fit properly?
Can you see and/or reach the main deployment handle, 3-ring release handle, reserve
ripcord and RSL? This equipment is built in a variety of container sizes, lengths, and
widths, and an adjustable harness. These configurations along with options such as BOC
main deployment, make compatible sizing to the individual extremely important to the safe
operation of the system. If the system does not fit properly, the handles may be inaccessible
or may move during the jump thereby causing problems in the air.
The above questions have dealt with your ability to safely jump this RIGGING INNOVATIONS
product only. If you have answered "Yes" to all the questions, you should feel comfortable using our
equipment. However, there are additional factors that may influence your decision and ability that do not

Section 2.0
Component
Compatibility
2.1 Canopy Compatibility
IMPORTANT It is imperative that that the rigger and the owner understand what canopies are
compatible with a particular model of Rigging Innovations, Inc. harness/container assembly. IF
INCOMPATIBLE CANOPIES ARE USED WITH THIS Telesis 2 SYSTEM, IT COULD FAIL TO
OPERATE AS DESIGNED RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO THE USER..
2.2 Reserve Compatibility
To determine whether a particular reserve canopy is compatible with a Telesis 2 harness/container assembly,
there are several requirements that must be met. They are pack volume, deployment type, TSO
certification, and placard limitations.
2.3 Volume
The pack volume of a canopy is determined by using the standard Parachute Industry Association
(PIA) volume measurement as determined by PIA Technical Standard TS-104 in its most current edition.
By cross referencing this measurement to the Rigging Innovations, Inc. Main/Reserve Container
Volume, Table II, the volume compatibility may be determined.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON VOLUME REFERENCES
Rigging Innovations maintains the PIA canopy volume measurement study. If R.I. has not tested a
particular make and model canopy in our volume chamber we cannot be responsible for its fit in a given
size container. We will accept orders for specific size rigs if no reference to canopy make or model is
made. However, if canopy sizes are stated on an order form then R.I. will determine what is the best
container size for those canopies.
Proper container sizing is one of the more difficult processes in determining the correct size of main
to reserve canopy compatibility. Volume testing by the Parachute Industry Association has shown a
volume variable of up to 20% for a given canopy model.

RI-1313-(2) Revision 1.0
5/3/2001
page 8
The PIA canopy volume may be based on a single sample and should serve only as a rough guide in
selecting the correct size of container to canopy. Factors such as temperature, humidity, age, number of
jumps and packing technique affect the volume of a given canopy.
Reserve canopy technology has not progressed at the same pace as main canopies. Often, the
reserve canopy volume determines the container size. Today’s high performance main canopies allow
jumpers to fly much smaller volume canopies than an appropriate size reserve canopy for the individual’s
weight and experience.
R.I. generally takes a conservative approach when selecting the appropriate container size for a
given canopy combination. R.I. sizes containers a little on the loose side to ease packing, while making the
Telesis 2 more comfortable and durable.
The customer should tell the dealer the type of packing and fit that suits their experience and
requirements. i.e. firm, ideal or soft pack. Write the customers’ preference on the order to assist R.I. in
meeting the customer’s expectations.
RI will not assume responsibility for fit if a customer or dealer specifies a particular container size
that may be marginal for the canopy combination.
2.4 Reserve Deployment Bag and Bridle
Only a Rigging Innovations deployment bag and bridle assembly of the correct size and properly
labeled with P/N 2114-( ) is compatible with the Telesis 2. No other deployment bag is approved for
use with the Telesis 2 system.
Table II. Telesis 2 Main/Reserve Container Volumes
All numbers refer to the cubic inch volume of the containers.
Container size Volume
TS1 Reserve/Main 400/500
TS2 Reserve/Main 500/600
TS3 Reserve/Main 550/700
TS4 Reserve/Main 600/750
TS5 Reserve/main 650/850

2.5 Deployment Type
There are 5 different canopy deployment methods in common use. Of these, only TYPE 5 (free
bag) is approved for use in the Rigging Innovations, Inc. Telesis 2 harness/container assembly. The
description and example is as follows:
Type 5: Free Bag: Canopy stowed in bag and lines stowed on/in bag.
Examples: Ram air reserve canopies.
2.6 Orange Warning Label Placard Data
As Part of the manufacturers requirements, the ORANGE WARNING LABEL located on the
back pad must be filled in by the Rigger assembling and packing the Telesis 2. FAILURE TO COMPLETE
THE ORANGE WARNING LABEL WILL RESULT IN THE TSO BEING NULL AND VOID!
The data required for the warning label is obtained from the canopy manufacturer and should be
found on the canopy warning label or data panel.
Please note that there may be instances where one model canopy may have TWO DIFFERENT
placard limitations; one as a reserve and one as a main. An example of this is the Precision Super Raven 4
canopy. As a reserve it is limited to 254 lb. maximum gross weight. However, as a main it is placarded at
288 lb. Make sure that your Rigger marks the correct space with the right category information.

3.1 Main Container Packing Instructions
Assembly
Step 1 Lay out main parachute, flake canopy, and check lines for
straightness and continuity.
Step 2 With line check complete, attach connector links to main
risers (nose of canopy on front riser, tail on rear riser). Note that
risers are marked on back with an L or R to designate left and right.
Double check that you have the proper riser on the appropriate side of
canopy.
Step 3 Route steering lines through guide rings on rear risers.
Step 4 Route steering line through toggle grommet from Velcro side
and align mark on line with the grommet. Pass line around either side
of toggle and through grommet two more times in same direction.
(Figure 1) Secure with a Figure 8 knot locked with an overhand knot.
Double check that toggle is secure and knot will not slip.
It is also acceptable to make a finger-trapped loop 1 inch long (Figure
3) and install as shown. (Figure 4) The finger-trap must be locked
with a zigzag or bartack stitch.
Step 5 Attach risers to harness making sure you have left on left and
right on right.

Step 6 Attach main deployment bag to canopy as follows:
a. Install the RED canopy attachment loop to the top of the
main canopy by looping the large end through the ring or loop on the
top of the canopy. (Figure 5)
b. Take the small end and place it through the grommet in the
top of the main bag. (Figure 6)
c. Attach main pilotchute bridle, either T.O.P. or ripcord to
the canopy attachment loop with the #5 Rapide link provided.
(Figure 6)Trap the Ty-8 webbing yoke at the top of the bag inside
the Rapide link. Note that the canopy attachment loop and the main
bridle are the same color (normally red) while the yoke is yellow. By
using color coordination, it reduces the possibility of assembling the
system incorrectly. ALWAYS MATE COLOR TO COLOR.
Step 7 Set brakes by pulling steering lines down until locking loops
are just below guide rings on main risers. Insert main toggle upper
end into brake set loop on steering line. Align and press toggle onto
riser Velcro. Stow excess lower control line in Velcro keeper.
(Figure 7)
Step 8 Install rubber bands provided onto the bag. The main
parachute is now ready to pack according to canopy manufacturer’s
instructions.
Packing
When packing the main canopy, dress it approximately 4” wider
than bag (2” each side) to fill out sides and not concentrate bulk in the
center. For best appearance, bulk must be distributed evenly in the bag.
Route lines out the center and lock the two center locking stows. Lock
two outer locking stows and finish stowing lines to within 18” of
connector links.
Work air out of the bag at this time to flatten the bag prior to
placing it in container. Pick up bag and place it at bottom of the main
container. Route main risers over shoulders and deep into riser cover
channels on either side. Main toggles face inboard.
Place bag into main container with lines to the bottom of
container. (Figure 8) FAILURE TO PLACE LINES TO THE
BOTTOM OF CONTAINER COULD RESULT IN A
PILOTCHUTE IN TOW. Kneeling on bag, push it into corners of
container while pulling up on the side flaps.

Main Container Closing -
-Ripcord and M.O.D. Handles
Step 1 “S” fold the main bridle and place on top of the main bag and
place the base of the spring pilotchute on top of the bridle.
Step 2 Collapse the pilotchute while stuffing the material in between
the coils. (Figure 9) The arrow on pilot chute cap should point toward
top of rig. Arrow indicates metal swage on pilotchute spring. Correct
orientation prevents unsightly wear on container flaps.
Step 3 Close the container in the numbered sequence. #1 -Bottom; #2 -
Top ; #3 -Right side ; #4 -Left side. Insert black plastic coated ripcord
cable through M.O.D. ring, if so equipped, (Figure 10) then through the
main closing loop. Stow the excess cable just under the top edge of the
left main flap. (Figure 11)
Note: If the Telesis 2 is set up for operation with an FXC AAD on the
main, the closing sequence for the last two flaps will be reversed. That
is, the right flap will close last.
-Throw-Out (T.O.P.)
Step 4 Route main bridle across top of bag and out upper right corner
of container See page 11 (Figure 8).
Step 5 Close main flaps in the order stamped on each flap. #1 -Top;
#2 -Bottom; #3 -Right side; #4 -Left side. Pull flaps into place and
lock with the curved pin. Mate Velcro slack-tab and lay flat toward
top. (Figure 12)

MANUAL OVERRIDE DEPLOYMENT (MOD) HANDLE
The Telesis 2 AFF M.O.D. or Manual Over-ride Deployment handle
was first introduced on the Telesis system. The MOD is a backup
main ripcord mounted on the lower left corner of the main container.
This allows the reserve side jumpmaster on an AFF jump to easily
deploy the main parachute. Because the AFF/M.O.D. handle is a
completely separate component, it may be left off the assembly when
the Telesis 2 is used in a normal freefall or static line mode.
To install the handle:
Step 1 Mate the ring end of the handle lanyard with the small piece of
Velcro located just below the grommet on the left main flap.
(Figure 19)
Step 2 Make a full twist in the lanyard between the two sections of
Velcro and mate the long piece of hook to the corresponding piece of
loop Velcro on the underside edge of the left main flap. (Figure 20)
Step 3 Reach into the pocket on the left corner of the main container
and pull out the handle mounting flap with the hook Velcro on it.
(Figure 21) Mate the handle to the mounting flap and then tuck the
handle into the pocket so it is held securely. (Figure 22)
Step 4 Close the container in the numbered sequence. #1 -Bottom;
#2 -Top; #3 -Right side; #4 -Left side. Insert black coated ripcord
cable through M.O.D. ring, if so equipped, then through the main
closing loop. Tuck the excess cable under the left side container flap.

MAIN STATIC LINE INSTALLATION
The Telesis 2 main static line activates a direct bag system. With
ram-air canopies, the canopy is free stowed in the bag. That is, there is
no assist device or connection between the canopy and the bag.
Regulations requiring canopy assists are intended for round
parachutes.
The Telesis 2 is designed to be easily converted from freefall to
static line and back without having to unpack the canopy. We do this
by using a canopy attachment loop you installed as in Figure 5 on
page 11. Whenever you pack the canopy, you always pack it with the
canopy attachment loop exposed through the grommet at the top of
the bag. In freefall mode, you attach the pilotchute and bridle to the
canopy attachment loop. For static line, the static line is looped
directly to the yoke on the top of the bag. To make it even simpler, we
color coded the canopy attachment loop and the freefall pilotchute
bridle the same color (normally RED). We made the mating loops the
same size so that they can be attached with a #5 Rapide link. These
loops for the Rapide link are too small for the static line to be
inadvertently attached to the canopy. The static line and the yoke on
the bag are also color coded (yellow) for proper mating.
To convert from freefall to static line:
Step 1 Disconnect the freefall pilotchute and bridle from the canopy
attachment loop.
Step 2 Loop the end of the Main Static Line over the yoke on the top
of the main bag and tighten securely. (Figure 23)
Step 3 Place the main bag in the main container with the static line
exiting the upper left (or right) hand corner of the container. (Figure
24)
Step 4 Close the container in the numbered sequence. #1 -Bottom;
#2 -Top; #3 -Right side; #4 -Left side. Insert the static line
Flexpin through the main closing loop.
Step 5 Fold the static line above the Flexpin attachment point and
double stow it in a rubber band on the static line stow loop on the left
or right side main flap. This is for shortest routing to the aircraft door
and so that the Flexpin is not accidentally dislodged by the drag of the
static line during use. (Figure 25)
Step 6 Close the main protector flap and finish stowing the static line
left to right in rubber bands attached to stow loops. (Figure 26)
