What documentation should you get with a 2nd hand cypres, the Test Certificate Card for one I'm guessing, what bout any other documentation you should get or might need?

You can get the Cypres User Guide here:

.
This one is an updated Cypres 2 version of the one on the web page. It shows the the Speed version as well.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Manuals are available on through SSK's web site. The direct link to the cypres information is here. http://www.cypres-usa.com/.

You should have an updated user guide and a xray view card for traveling.

PM me if you want a physical manual with the x-ray card. I think I have some extras.

Is the X-ray card a form of proof of what is inside? Is the cypress not to be X-rayed because of malfunction? Or am I totally OFF?

the Xray card is just useful to show to airport personnel who get a little anxious when they see what appears to be a bomb trigger. I think it makes them a bit more confident when they find no residue, but can't get past the visual they saw.

I have a bad habit of making up my own terms.

The cypres units come with a card that shows the unit x-rayed. It comes in handy when traveling. If TSA questions the contents of your bag, you can show them the card along with your explaination.

Totally off.

The X-ray card is there to help explain/identify the cypres components which will be visible in the X-ray security will take of your carryon gear.

The idea is that security will X-ray your rig and if they have concerns you can show them the card and perhaps save yourself a reserve repack. I wouldn't go offering the card unless they actually voice concerns.

TSA/DHS allow AADs on board, you should explain this and ask for a supervisor who understands this, but they can still open your rig if they want to.

On a used Cypres you want to make sure the unit's up to date on its 4 & 8 year services, if it's that old. The Mfg date is marked on the unit, and I believe an identifying marker is put on the unit at each of the 4 & 8 year services. Your rigger will know what to look for, as very few riggers will dare to pack an AAD that's not strictly kosher. There should also be data on when the batteries were last replaced - every 2 years on the Cypres 1 and every 4 years on the Cypres 2 (which is included as part of the 4/8 yr services, so you shouldn't have to mess with them at all). If any of these services are not up to date, you probably shouldn't buy the unit at all.
