skimeter the safe way to set your ski bindings

 

 

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.
