Skimeter is an equipment
for a safe and quick personal settings of ski bindings in accordance
with the ISO international standards.
It is the responsibility
of the retailer to set ski bindings to the ISO standards.An adapted
and personalized bindings setting depends on various factors personal
to everyone. Skimeter takes into account each of these parameters for
a personal binding setting.
Why Skimeter?
To set the ski bindings properly
The skiman has the responsibility to properly set the ski bindings.
The binding is set at front and at the rear.
The verification is made
by reading the visual indicator on the binding ( number 3 to 10 on a
regular binding). That number must correspond with the Z value calculated
by the skiman.
The setting of the release
depends on known factors such as age, gender, weight, ski boot length,
skier ability, physical condition and skiing style. All of these parameters
are very important for a proper release setting.
Skimeter takes into account
each of these parameters for a personal binding setting.
To save time
The skier will choose his own settings directly on the screen. Skimeter
gives a Z value in few seconds.
Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the retailer to set ski bindings to ISO
and AFNOR standards and to prove it in case of a lawsuit. The standard
is a point of reference for Judges when considering litigation.
It is the responsibility
of the user to correctly indicate his/her type of skiing ability.
Skimeter protects the retailer
against lawsuits:
- The user choose his parameters on the Skimeter screen
- The weight and the boot length are automatically measured by Skimeter
- Skimeter prints a ticket proving that the proper setting has been
done
- It offers retailers the possibility of getting the ticket signed by
the skier
How does it work?
1. The skier gets on the
machine with his ski boots on
2. The skier pushes his/her ski boots against the lever
3. The user chooses his/her settings on the Skimeter screen
4. Skimeter will weight the skier without displaying his/her weight
on the screen. The boot length will also automatically be taken.
5. Skimeter gives automatically the ski binding setting value.
The whole process takes only
a few seconds!
Safemeter
Calibration test machine: safemeter is able to calculate the release
torque values of front and rear bindings.Safemeter compares calculate
torques values with visual indicator of the ski bindings. Safmeter prints
the results and gives the tolerance percentage so the skiman can adapt
if necessary the release value. Safemeter can be used in between the
season to check all stock of ski, binding and shoes.
Safmeter follows strictly the procedure indicated by ISO standard 13993.
Safemeter must be used while
being connected to Skimeter. Test results appear on Skimeter screen
and printer.
The renters must follow the
standard ISO 13993 and test all their equipment before each season to
eliminate all faulty material.
