COMPATIBILITY.

This product can only be used in combination with CE-marked equipment.
5.1 – Harnesses. This product is compatible with work harnesses (EN 813, EN 361) when used in compliance with EN 12841 and with mountaineering har nesses (EN 12277] when used in compliance with EN 567 and EN 12278.
5.2 – Ropes / accessory cords. Depending on the relevant legislation, the equip- ment can only be used with the ropes and/or accessory cords listed in the table (Fig. 1): EN 1891 semi-static kernmantle (core + sheath] ropes, EN 892 dynamic ropes, EN 564 accessory cords. For the certification to the EN 12841 standard, the following ropes have been used: Patron 10 and KM Ill (Teufelberger]. Atten- tion! Do not use on wire ropes or braided ropes. Attention! In compliance with EN _12841-B, the device can be connected to the EN 813 attachment point of the harness using an EN 354 lanyard and compatible EN 362 connectors (Fig. 6]: maximum total length = 1m.
5.3 – Connector. Only use an EN 362 connector {mandatory for use in accordance with EN 12841] or an EN 12275 connector equipped with a locking gate in the hole for connection and with maximal length 110 mm. Attention! Make sure that the connector in use allows the device to work indine [Fig. 14.3] without hindering its correct positioning (Fig. 14.4}.

CHECKS.

Further to the checks listed below, comply with what indicated in the general instructions {paragraph 3}. Before each use, verify that: the cam rotates freely, without jamming and the spring of the cam snaps it in the rope locking position; all teeth of the cam are present and without any sign of wear: the pulley rotates freely in both directions. During each use: always verify the correct placement of the rope inside the device; the device and the rope must not lean against or get in touch with cutting edges and abrasive materials (Fig. 14.6-14.8); prevent the device from coming into contact with the wall or other products {e.g. connectors, devices etc.]; avoid having slack rope between the anchor and the attachment on the harness.

ISTRUCTIONS FOR USE.

This device can be used in several modes: 1} Ascender (Fig. 4+6); 2} Pro gress-capture hauling pulley (Fig. 7+12); 3) Pulley {Fig. 13).
7.1 – Warnings. 1) For user safety, it is essential that the device or the anchor point are always positioned correctly and the work carried out in such a way as to minimize the risk of falling and the height of fall. 2) Do not use connection methods of the device other than those indicated.

ASCENDER MODE.

This mode allows ascending the rope in accordance with EN 567 / EN 12841- B (e.g. rope ascent in rope access work – Fig. 6).
8.1 – Installation. Raise the mobile side plate by lifting it slightly {1] and turn 180° (2} (Fig. 4.1}. Hold the rope slightly in tension with one hand and with the other hand position the device on the rope in the correct direction (Fig. 4.2). Close the mobile side plate by turning it in the indicated direction {Fig. 4.3} until the correct closing click is heard (Fig. 4.4}. Secure a compatible connector into the dedicat ed hole for connection (Fig. 4.5}. Finally, perform a functional test of the device to verify its good functioning and the correct direction of assembly of the rope (Fig.
4.6-4.7]. Attention! To remove the rope, the operations from Fig. 4.1 to Fig. 4.5 must be carried out in the opposite order.
8.2 – Use. The device is free to move upward and will lock in the position on which is placed (Fig. 5.1-5.2). Be careful when approaching anchors and/or intermediate anchors. Under no circumstances should the device be used in situa- tions with a potential fall factor greater than | (Fig. 5.4), i.e. the user must – at all times – be located below the device and/or the anchor point (Fig. 5.3}. Attention!
A fall with a fall factor greater than 1 could make the rope break. Attention!
When ascending a vertical rope, the device must be used in combination with another rope-clamping device secured to the harness.
8.3 – Releasing. The device can be moved along the line in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of use (Fig. 5.5): 1} Completely unload the device; 2) Partially open the cam (1) and move the device along the line {2}; 3] Release the cam and reapply the load. Attention! Do not carry out these manoeuvres when the device is under load.
8.4 – EN 12841-B warnings.

1. The primary function of Type-B rope adjustment devices is the progression up the work line; for this reason, it is essential that they are always used together with a Type-A rope adjustment device connected to an independent safety line.
2. Rope adjustment devices are not suitable for use in a fall arrest system.
3. When an adjustable anchor line is loaded with the entire weight of the user, it becomes a work line: to ensure the optimal safety of the user it is therefore necessary that a safety line is used as well.
4. Only anchor points that comply with the EN 795 standard can be used (minimum strength 12 kN or 18 kN for nonmetallic anchors} that do not have sharp edges.
5. Avoid any over- loading or dynamic loading on the device because can harm the anchor line.
6. The technical performances of the anchor line might vary considerably, due to dirt, moisture, ice, repeated uses on the same stretch: beware, because these changes in condition can affect the integrity of the line and the locking performance of thedevice on the rope.
7. There are no restrictions on the inclination of the anchor rope. Nonetheless it is recommended to work as vertically as possible with the anchor point, in order to limit the risk of a pendulum effect.
8. Different types of anchor lines can affect the characteristics and the safe operation of the device.
9. Working load limit: 100 kg.

PROGRESS-CAPTURE HAULING PULLEY MODE.

This mode offers two different configurations (Fig. 8-10) of use in which the rope is free to move through the device in one direction and is locked in the op posite one. For the installation, follow the relevant drawings (Fig. 7+12] while adhering to the instructions given in the previous paragraphs for the opening/ closing of the device.
9.1 – Hauling configuration (Fig. 8]. The equipment allows the direct lifting of a load (Fig. 9]. Attention! This product is not an EN 15151 belay device and should not be used for belaying a person.
9.2 – Ascending configuration (Fig. 10}. The equipment allows the hauling (Fig. 11.3} or self-rescue of a person (Fig. 11.1], for example in case of a fall into a crevasse. The equipment can also be used to create haul systems {Fig. 12).

PULLEY MODE.

This mode allows the lifting or transferring of a load in accordance with the EN 12278 standard {Fig. 13]. Attention! The use on tensioned highlines/Tyrolean traverses is not covered by the EN 12278 nor EN 17109 standards {Fig. 15.5): in case of such use, check the compatibility of the equipment with the line set up by carrying out the necessary tests fe. tension, inclination, distance between anchors, etc.].
10.1 – Installation. Move the sheave position fixing lever as shown until it engag- es with the appropriate ‘H’ pin (Fig. 13.1+13.4]. Open the swinging side plate and install the rope on the sheave as shown (Fig. 13.5}. Rotate the swinging side plate back to its initial position, as shown, until when a ‘click’ – indicating it is fully closed – can be heard (Fig. 13.6}. Secure a compatible connector through the dedicated hole for connection (Fig. 13.7}. This manoeuvre allows to switch from the ascender/hauling pulley configuration to the pulley configuration: to return to the starting configuration, simply release the fixing lever from the ‘H’ pin.
10.2 – Warnings. The stress on the anchor point and on the other elements of the system can increase considerably due to the dynamic movements of the load during the manoeuvre: verify the overall resistance of the system.
