Operation In Water; Buoyancy Aid - ActSafe T1-16 Manuel Utilisateur

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Operation in water

This product is water proof to a depth of
max 10 meters for max 4 hours.
The ascender can be equipped to allow
diving ascent from greater depths. Contact
ActSafe System AB or your local distributor
for further information.
If opened and closed by anyone other
than competent personnel it may not be
watertight. If the inside of the ascender is
filled with water the battery can generate
flammable gas.
The rope can be loaded/unloaded under
water. The ascender can be operated down
to a depth of approximately 1.5 meters.
At 4 meters depth the power button can be
engaged due to the water pressure, i.e. the
LEDS will turn on. The ascender may not be
operated at this depth.
If used for diving we recommend that the
user/owner has equipment and knowledge
to perform tightness tests on a regular basis.

Buoyancy aid

The ascender is not buoyant itself; a separa-
te buoyancy aid is needed, which replaces
the lifting handle.
If the buoyancy aid is fully inflated the
ascender will float at surface level and neu-
tral buoyancy occurs at 6.5 meters depth
(fresh water).
The buoyancy aid can withstand an internal
pressure of 2 bar at surface level without
failure, equivalent of filling it at depth of 10
m. I.e. the neutral depth can be adjusted
from 0 to 10 m by emptying or adding air.

Always clean the ascender with fresh water
after it has been use in salt water.
To prevent the LEDs lighting up unintentio-
nally, put the ascender in Covert mode at
the start of the assignment.
DANGER
Ascenders that are used for diving shall
undergo regular tightness tests. Preferably
prior to each operation.
RECOMMENDATION
If frequently used for diving we recommend
that the user/owner has equipment and know-
ledge to perform tightness tests on a regular
basis.
Always clean the ascender with fresh water
after it has been use in salt water.
To prevent the LEDs lighting up unintentionally,
put the ascender in Covert mode at the start of
the assignment.
