8B. Work positioning - secured stop
After stopping at the desired location, to go into work
positioning mode with hands free, lock the device on
the rope by moving the handle in the direction opposite
to that used for descent (turned to position b). For work
positioning, the I'D must be set in this position.
Once the handle has stopped at position b (positioning), do
not force the handle. The handle must not be in position a
(transport) with a rope in the device. There is a risk of
damaging the device that can negate the braking function.
To unlock the system, firmly grip the braking side of the
rope and move the handle into descent position.
Information regarding standard EN 12841
ATTENTION, the I'D S descender must be used with a
type A backup device on a second (safety) rope (e.g.
ASAP).
The I'D S descender is not suitable for use in an EN 363 fall
arrest system.
Attach your descender directly to the harness using an
EN 362 locking carabiner. Any equipment used with your
descender must be in compliance with current standards.
Do not allow the safety line to be loaded when the working
line is under tension.
A shock-load can damage the belay line.

Maximum descent height: 200 m
Normal working load: 30-150 kg
Lowering from an anchor-point
Device on the anchor: the braking side
of the rope must be redirected through a
carabiner. Hold the braking side of the rope
and move the handle up (position c) to
allow the rope to slide. Braking is regulated
by varying the grip on the braking side of
the rope. Release the handle to activate the
self-braking function.
When the device is lightly loaded, if the
panic brake activates too easily, use the
horizontal movement button.
Information regarding standard
EN 341
- Always tie a knot at the end of the rope.
- Equipment left in place must be protected
from the weather.
- Do not lose control during the descent:
descend at a reasonable speed.
- Warning, the device can overheat and
damage the rope during descent.
