5. Operating principle
•
The stopfor™ moves along a stranded belay rope,
it accompanies the operator without requiring
manual intervention during its upward or downward
movement and locks into place automatically on
the rope when a fall occurs product.

2. The anchoring support (C/K, page 2)
The stopfor™ can only be used exclusively with
anchoring support certified by Tractel® S.A.S.
• stopfor™ B, BF, MSP, SL
The anchoring support is a 14 mm diameter
stranded polyamide rope.
• stopfor™ K, KS, KSP
The anchoring support is a
halyard, made of polyamide with a diameter of 11
mm.
For all anchoring support

The anchoring support must only be used as a

carry out this extremity in order to prevent the
stopfor™ from being unintentionally released on the
anchoring support.
• The stopfor™ SL (Fig. 3, page 2)
The jaw (I) is attached to the control lever (K) to
which the user is attached by means of a lanyard.
The stopfor™ SL automatically moves along the
belay line. The slight tension transmitted by the
user via the lanyard and allows the jaw to be
opened and the stopfor™ SL to be moved.

The flanges of stopfor™ SL are openable to allow
the installation of the belay system. To install the
stopfor™ SL on the belay system two simultaneous
actions are required to open and close the flanges,
–
press the lock (D),
–
screw / unscrew the knurled knob (E).
Before installing stopfor™ SL on its belay system,
check that :
–
the belay bracket is in place vertically (with a
the
maximum permitted angle of 30° or a maximum
displacement of 3 m from the vertical),
–
the belay device is connected to its upper end,
– the coded pin (N) of stopfor™ SL allows

–
that the device is presented in such a way that
the arrow engraved on the flange faces
upwards.
If the user falls, the lever tilts
of the force applied by the lanyard and the jaw locks
the rope against the moving flange (F).

K/KS/KSP (Fig. 2, page 2) and stopfor™ B/MSP,
the system consists of two flanges articulated
around the cam axis (Fig. 2, page 2, Q). The device
opens by rotating the movable flange (R). The cam
spring (Fig. 2, page 2, S) is used to keep the cam
under pressure on the belay bracket. When the
belay bracket is in place and the connector locks
both flanges, it is no longer possible to open the
unit; the belay bracket is then trapped in the unit.
