The ABS Carbon Auslöseeinheit is a premium trigger unit for ABS avalanche airbag systems, consisting of a carbon-sleeved cartridge filled with inert gas and a release handle. When activated, the unit delivers gas quickly and reliably, filling both airbags (TwinBags) — a critical action in avalanche survival gear designed to keep a buried person near the snow surface.
Filled with inert gas (non-flammable and non-toxic), the Carbon trigger unit ensures the airbags inflate in about 2–3 seconds, independent of external air pressure or temperature fluctuations. This rapid deployment makes it a trusted choice for backcountry skiers, ski tourers, and mountain professionals.
Compared to standard steel cartridges, the carbon-sleeved version offers significant weight savings (approx. 280 g) — roughly half the weight of a steel equivalent — making it ideal for lightweight setups. The unit is also easy to replace and refill, allowing it to be serviced and reused after deployment. It’s compatible with a range of ABS backpack systems including A.LIGHT, s.LIGHT, s.CAPE and the Vario Base Unit.
