Remote Control - ActSafe T1-16 Manuel Utilisateur

Remote control

The remote is primary a rescue tool, allo-
wing another user to move the operator up
or down in case of an emergency. However,
the possibilities when using the remote in
other applications are numerous. Such app-
lications shall be trained in a safe environ-
ment using a back-up system.
The remote control allows the ascender
to be operated from a distance. The remote
control will override the control buttons on
the ascender, i.e. when the remote is swit-
ched on it will not be possible to operate
the ascender by its own controls.
If the remote is not used it will auto-
matically switch off after 10 seconds. The
ascender will need to be switched on for
the remote to function. When shutdown;
the ascender will be in standby mode for
4 hours allowing a remote to start it.
The remote allows ascending and descen-
ding at 2 different speed alternatives; slow
and fast. (25% and 75% of maximum speed
respectively).
The protection class is IP65 (i.e. no
ingress of dust and water projected by a
nozzle against enclosure from any direction
shall have harmful effect).
Several remote controls can be used
with one ascender, of which only one can
be active at each time. Contact ActSafe
or your distributor for more information.

the first one to contact the ascender will be
active. To change remote, wait until the first
remote automatically turns off.
The remote control holder is equipped
with a full strength sling allowing it to be
used to connect person or load. This sling
is a part of the ascender system and cannot
be used as a separate sling in other appli-
cations. With the ascender in the anchor,
connect to the rope (using a knot/tibloc/
I'D or other) with the remote holder to the
harness to get an ergonomic operating
position of the remote.
CAUTION
The remote control is not water tight.
RECOMMENDATION
When ascending remote controlled with
the ascender in the anchor, attach the remote
holder to the harness and connect to the upper
part of the remote holder sling to get an ergo-
nomic operating position.
