Visual Security and Ergonomic Innovation

The primary function of the Charly Paralock 3 Blue Disc is to provide an immediate visual and tactile confirmation of your carabiner's locking status.

Clear Position Indicators

When installed on the securing pin of the Paralock 3, the physical location of the Blue Disc acts as a direct indicator of the release blocking mechanism:

• Mechanism Activated: The disc's position clearly indicates whether the security system is fully engaged.

• Streamlined Handling: The 12 x 6 mm dimensions provide a larger grip surface, allowing pilots to operate the blocking mechanism smoothly, even when wearing flight gloves.

• Light Footprint: Weighing a mere 1.8g per piece, this component adds helpful functionality without adding noticeable weight to your flight deck or harness setup.

Technical Guidance and Safety Compliance

While the Charly Paralock 3 Blue Disc facilitates easier manipulation of the safety mechanism, it alters the default safety parameters of the standard Paralock carabiner.

Important Pre-Flight Protocol

With a standard, un-modified Paralock open, the locking pin generally cannot be moved. However, with the Blue Disc mounted, this default safety feature can be overcome or overridden by force. Additionally, the release blocking mechanism can be activated or deactivated accidentally if care is not taken during gear handling.

• Mandatory Pre-Flight Check: It is vital to check that the release lever is properly locked and the release blocking mechanism is fully activated before every single take-off.

• Usage Recommendations: Due to the overriding capability of this modification, Finsterwalder-Charly does not recommend the Blue Disc for general, everyday paragliding use.

• Pilot Responsibility: Please note that the installation and use of this product is strictly at the pilot’s own risk. For comprehensive installation instructions and operational guidelines, pilots must consult the official Blue Disc manual prior to flight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Charly Paralock 3 Blue Disc actually do? It installs onto the securing pin of a Paralock 3 carabiner. It makes operating the release blocking mechanism easier and provides a clear visual cue (based on its distance from the main body) as to whether the mechanism is active.

Can I use this on any paragliding carabiner? No. This component is an engineered accessory designed exclusively for the Finsterwalder Paralock 3 separation carabiner system.

Why is it not recommended for general everyday use? Because the disc allows the standard locking pin safety restrictions to be bypassed with force, it introduces a risk of accidental deactivation if proper pre-flight checks are neglected. It is designed for experienced pilots who strictly follow rigorous equipment inspection protocols.
