The Telesis 3.0 is the third generation of the Telesis student
training system.
Beginning in 1988 with the original design,
the Telesis system has become the #1 best selling student training
system in the world. It has set the standard by which all others
aspire to.
The following are areas where the Telesis excels.
- The highest quality- RI is
known for it’s legendary quality.
- Rugged and durable.
- Each generation has been technically more advanced than the competition.
- Easy to use - Simple and easy for the student to operate.
- Rigger friendly - Not just a
saying but true. One of the simplest systems to pack and maintain.
- Cost effective, they last long and are easy to maintain.
- 4 different sizes means that
there is a size for all sizes of individuals and canopy
combinations.
Built by a company with a
reputation for backing it’s products.
The Telesis 3.0 is built in 6 different sizes to accommodate all of today’s canopy combinations. The smaller TS1 and TS2 are designed for very small individuals and also for use as transition systems in downsizing to smaller canopies during the training course. The largest size, the TS6 is designed for main and reserve canopies in the 300 sq ft range.
The Telesis 3.0 adjustable articulated harness configuration has been certified under TSO C23d and is rated at 325 lbs max weight and 150 knots. The load forces measured, have been in excess of 6700 lbs and the system is compatible with the strongest sport reserves currently on the market.
The Container
The container planform is based on the successful Talon FS design.
Designed to ride higher on the back, the containers are narrower and
contoured to fit the body. The reserve pin protector flap has a
replaceable transparent window for jumpmaster checks. The Cypres
window is located at the top of the container for easy accessibility
and protection. The main pin protector flap is the popular upward
closing configuration for ease of use and security. The riser
covers use the tuck flap design for greater holding capability and
durability.
The standard main deployment configuration is the AFF/BOC throw out
pilot chute system. A reserve side deployment handle insures easy
access during AFF training jumps. Built-in channels provide for
installation of a ripcord housing and the use of a conventional
spring launched pilot chute in the BOC ripcord configuration.
The 3-ring release is standard in a Two Action System configuration.
An SOS is also available. Full metal release housings are standard.
A Reserve Static Line system is standard.
The Harness
The harness is an adjustable version of the most successful and
comfortable articulated harness ever designed. Based on the Voodoo
Multi-Flex design, Sandy Reid, the patent holder for the articulated
harness, has developed an advanced version that incorporates a
continuously adjustable horizontal back strap that holds the
container firmly into the small of the back and keeps the containers
from shifting in freefall. At the same time, this new design
provides greater adjustability over a wider range of body sizes. The
Voodoo V-Flex leg strap stays firmly in place during ground movement
and provides superior comfort under canopy. While most
students cannot tell the difference between different harness
designs, they can tell when a design is uncomfortable. There is no
reason for the student jumper to have a harness that is any less
comfortable than that worn by their instructor or jumpmaster. The
leg strap is a true double wide design with high density, extendable
leg pads for maximum comfort and fit. The adjustable main lift web
is available is available in two size ranges- (A) XS-Med and (B)
Sm-Lg.
The standard color configuration is a two color pattern with black
trim and black harness. Custom embroidery is available as a cost
option.
"Building your Student System for your
operation"
The harness and container is provided with all the component parts
of the reserve and main.
To complete your package, you must "add" the cost of the main
deployment parts for the type of training used at your drop zone.
For Example: If your training is AFF-BOC only, the price of
the AFF-BOC parts must be added to the base price of the Telesis.
NOTE ABOUT
TRAINING APPLICATIONS:
If your training includes both "Free fall" with a main spring
pilotchute and AFF-BOC the container can only be set up with ONE
type of Main Over-ride Deployment (MOD) handle for the "off-side"
jumpmaster.
You may choose either the MOD pillow handle for use with the spring pilotchute or the MOD loop handle for the throw-out pilotchute. The MOD handles are not interchangeable or compatible with either types of deployment.
