réponse officielle PIEPS- Black Diamond (21 oct.) disait:
On beacons that were damaged (including cracked or otherwise broken lock switches), Vance says BD found that, “depending on the severity of that crack, the slider resistance is reduced by 50 to 100 percent.” In other words, if the lock is physically damaged, it can lead to the slider accidentally moving.
En gros sur les boitiers endommagé tu as une perte de résistance du bouton de verrouillage de 50 à 100%.
réponse officielle PIEPS- Black Diamond (21 oct.) disait:
“We looked at as many competitor beacons as we could to evaluate switch/mechanical security. They all pass the same standards. And what we found is that there are actually beacons with designs that are more susceptible to that inadvertent mode switch. That’s primarily based on assembly of locking mechanisms. There are mechanisms in the market without locks or unprotected by the harness.”
En gros, pendant les tests, ils ont trouvé le même problème sur d'autres appareils... que forcément ils ne nomment pas...
conclusion d'article par le rédacteur chez TGR (21 oct.) disait:
That being said, it isn’t the only beacon on the market that has had some issues. I think this is a great opportunity to rewrite the standards beacons need to meet across the board going forward. When beacons need to be used to save a life there are generally a ton of variables...an on/off switch should not be one of them.”
Bon en gros faut revoir les standards des DVA pour être sûr de pas avoir de problème. Mais quand même, en dehors des allégations de PIEPS et du distributeur Black D après leurs tests, on a aucun retour sur d'autres produits qui auraient présenté le même défaut.
