orientation of the device. Before starting to climb,
verify that the device clamps correctly the rope (fig.
1B). Guard against anything that might switch the
device open or impede its correct working (clothing,
cobbles, mud, twigs...). To remove the rope clamp
from the anchor line, slide the device gently upwards
along it and simultaneously unlock the safety latch
(fig. 1C).
Figure 2: PROGRESSION ON THE ROPE
(ASCENT AND SHORT)
The rope clamp is designed for progression along a
working line and is not meant to be used in a fall
arrest system. Any overload or dynamic loading of
the rope clamp may damage the anchor line.
Slide the device upwards along the working line.
Then pull yourself up as it clamps on it (fig. 2A).
Always keep the device parallel to the line! Lanyards
connecting the rope clamp to the harness should be
made out of single dynamic rope (EN 892) and
should with connectors not exceed the reach of your
arm. For rope access at work, a safety line with a fall
arrest device must be used in addition to the working
line. When the adjustable anchorline is loaded by full
weight of the user it becomes a working line.
For short descents push the cam with your index
finger in the extreme closed position so that the cam
detaches from the rope Slide the device downwards
(fig. 2B). Never try to manipulate the safety latch
during short descents!
Figure 3: LOADS DEVIATING FROM THE
DIRECTION OF THE LINE
To avoid slippage never try to twist the device in any
direction on a taut rope or load it at an angle with the
rope. If not possible, clip a carabiner through the
upper hole or clip your lanyard carabiner on the rope
as shown in the figure.
