Inspection, points to verify

Your safety depends upon the integrity of your equipment.
Petzl recommends a detailed inspection by a competent person at least once every 12 months (depending on current regulations in your country, and your conditions of usage).
WARNING: your intensity of use may cause you to inspect your PPE more frequently. Follow the procedures described at Petzl.com. Record the results on your PPE inspection form: type,model, manufacturer contact info, serial number or individual number, dates: manufacture, purchase, first use, next periodic inspection; problems, comments, inspector’s name and signature.

Before each use
Verify the absence of any cracks, deformation, marks, wear, corrosion on the product (side plates, axles, rivets, cam, brake plates, attachment hole, anti- error catch). Check the condition of the safety gate and verify that it works properly (return spring, complete  closure). Check the condition of the handle and verify that it works properly (cam drive, return spring, anti-panic function). Check the cam’s mobility.
During use
It is important to regularly monitor the condition of the product and its connections to the other equipment in the system. Make sure that all items of equipment are correctly positioned with respect to each other.
Beware of rubbing or contact with any external object that could interfere with device function (free rotation of the device, of the cam, of the handle…).
WARNING: blocking performance and the braking effect vary depending on the condition of the rope and the conditions of usage (diameter, wear, dirt, moisture, rain, ice). For each rope, before use, you must familiarize yourself with blocking performance and the braking effect.

Compatibility

Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your application (compatible = good functional interaction).
Equipment used with your I’D S must meet current standards in your country (e.g. EN 1497 or EN 813 harnesses).
The safety gate allows the moving side plate to be opened and the rope to be installed without removing the connector. The I’D S can therefore be used with the CAPTIV positioning bar to optimize connector positioning.

Function principle and test

The I’D S blocks the rope in one direction and allows the rope to slide in the other direction.
The rope friction in the cam groove causes the cam to rotate, which blocks the rope by pinching it against the brake plate.
Blocking can be gradually released by operating the handle (always hold the brake side of the rope).
WARNING: any excessive pull on the handle can cause a loss of control.
AUTO-LOCK system
The AUTO-LOCK system blocks the load automatically and returns the handle to the stop position.
Anti-panic function
The anti-panic function automatically stops the descent if the user pulls the handle too far. To resume the descent, allow the handle to return to the stop position before operating it again.

Installing the I’D S

Install a locking carabiner on the I’D S for attachment to the harness or anchor.
6a. Connection to the harness
Open the moving side plate and raise the handle slightly to allow the cam to move. Install the rope around the cam in the direction indicated by the icons marked on the device. Close the moving side plate, making sure that the safety gate closes completely. Each time the rope is installed, check that the rope blocks in the desired direction. The anti-error catch helps detect a backward installation of the rope.
6b. Connection to an anchor
Open the moving side plate and raise the handle slightly to allow the cam to move. Install the rope around the cam in the direction indicated by the icons marked on the device. Close the moving side plate, making sure that the safety gate closes completely. Each time the rope is installed, check that the rope blocks in the desired direction. Pass the rope through a directional carabiner on the anchor or through the auxiliary brake (sold separately).
WARNING: the anti-error catch will not work unless the rope passes through a directional carabiner on the anchor.
6c. Locking the safety gate
If it is necessary to prevent the device from opening once the rope is installed (e.g. rescue kit), the safety gate can be locked with the supplied screw.

Rope access

EN 12841: 2006 type C
Descender for progression on rope.
Working load limit: 150 kg for a single person; usage up to 200 kg is possible for two people in a rope rescue situation with 10.5 to 11.5 mm ropes only.
Ropes tested during the CE EN 12841 type C certification:

• Petzl CLUB 10 mm.
• Teufelberger KM III 11.5 mm.

To reduce the risk of a fall or pendulum, keep the rope between the I’D S and the anchor as tight and as vertical as possible.
Devices of type B and C are designed for progression on rope; they must be used together with a type A belay system (e.g. ASAP). When the full weight of the user is on the safety rope, it becomes a work rope and so must be used with another safety rope.

Rescue descender

EN 341: 2011 class A / GB/T 38230-2019

• Maximum energy of descent 7.5 MJ.
  Energy = user weight x gravity x length of descent x number of descents.

• Ropes tested, working load limit, maximum descent: see diagrams.

• Minimum load: 30 kg.

• To reduce the risk of a fall, do not allow slack in the rope between the I’D S and the load.

• Protect the I’D S from surrounding environmental conditions if it is left installed on the anchor between inspections.

• EN 341 testing temperature: -40° C in dry conditions, -4° C in wet and cold conditions.

• Install the I’D S on the anchor in a way that does not interfere with the descent.

• Control the speed of descent: a loss of control can be difficult to correct.

• The I’D S can overheat and damage the rope in a descent that is too long or too fast.

• Make sure there is no obstacle that can interfere with the descent.

• The use of gloves is recommended to avoid any burn risk when touching the device, during or after the descent.

• In the context of the EN 341 standard, the I’D S is designed only for rescue use.

• Specifications of ropes tested:
  Nylon and polyester ropes.

  2. Elongation (%)
  3. Mass of the sheath (%)
  4. Mass of the core material (%)
  5. Mass per unit length (g/m)
  6. Shrinkage (%)

ANSI / ASSP Z359.4 – 2013
Maximum descent height: 200 m.
The I’D S can be used for multiple successive descents by ensuring that the device does not overheat.
Refer to ANSI Z359.1 and ANSI Z359.4 standards and any applicable regulations.
The anchor point for the descent system should preferably be located above the user’s position and should meet the requirements of applicable standards and regulations.
Connections to anchors must be done in a way that does not reduce the anchor strength, and that avoids any accidental movement of the system during use. Perform a tension test on the connection before applying the full load.

Usage on a harness

9a. Descending
Gradually pull the handle to allow the rope to slide, always holding the brake side of the rope.
9b. Extra friction
Add friction if you have difficulty controlling speed, if the rope is new or slippery, or for any use with a heavy load or with two people.
To add friction, pass the rope through an extra carabiner connected to the I’D S’s carabiner, or through the auxiliary brake (sold separately).
WARNING: when using the open auxiliary brake, direct the rope so that it always stays in place inside the brake. Beware of twists or loops of rope that could cause the rope to come out of the brake.
9c. Stop position
Before letting go of the rope, make sure the handle has properly returned to the stop position. Beware of any rubbing against the structure or equipment that could prevent the return of the handle. If the handle is not in the stop position, it is exposed to accidental snagging that can cause unblocking.
9d. Occasional ascent
The I’D S can be moved up the rope at any time, without manipulating the handle.

Belay device/descender

EN 15151-1: 2012 type 8
Belay device with variable friction function for belaying in climbing and similar activities.
Use only ropes in the diameter range indicated as compatible. A rope’s rated diameter has a tolerance of up to 0.2 mm. The diameter of a rope and its characteristics can vary depending on usage.
Certification tests are carried out with an 80 kg mass.

10a. Always hold the brake side of the rope when the climber is moving
10b. Giving slack
While holding the brake side of the rope, press the cam with your thumb to allow the rope to slide. Pull the rope with the other hand.
10c. Lowering
Gradually pull the handle to allow the rope to slide, always holding the brake side of the rope.
Make sure there is no obstacle that can interfere with the descent.
The use of gloves is recommended to avoid any burn risk when touching the device, during or after the descent.

Usage on an anchor

The brake side of the rope must pass through a directional carabiner on the anchor or through the auxiliary brake (sold separately).
WARNING: when using the open auxiliary brake, direct the rope so that it always stays in place inside the brake. Beware of twists or loops of rope that could cause the rope to come out of the brake.
During the descent, if there is too much friction, (swollen or dirty rope, light load…), the rope can be removed from the external brake.
11a. Lowering
Gradually pull the handle to allow the rope to slide, always holding the brake side of the rope.
11b. Giving slack
While holding the brake side of the rope, press the cam with your thumb to allow the rope to slide. Pull the rope with the other hand.
11c. Stop position
Before letting go of the rope, make sure the handle has properly returned to the stop position.
Beware of any rubbing against the structure or equipment that could prevent the return of the handle. If the handle is not in the stop position, it is exposed to accidental snagging that can cause unblocking.

Limitations on use

These Instructions for Use specify the essential limits to be observed for proper descender function: mass, length, speed, compatible ropes.
Other factors can come into play, such as the condition of the rope (e.g. new ropes are often slippery) or the temperature of use (high heat reduces the braking effect).
The descender functions optimally under average use conditions.
Performance will degrade if use conditions approach the essential limits.
Under these extreme use conditions, there is a risk of losing control of the descent and/or damaging the rope.
You must be more alert and not hesitate to take special precautions (add friction, reduce speed, split the descent into shorter sections using intermediate anchors…).
Limitations on use in the cold:

• 40° C under normal conditions.
• 4° C under exceptional cold and wet conditions (rain, water spray, condensation…). These conditions can degrade the performance of your rope/descender combination.

Additional Information

• The I’D S is not suitable for use in a fall-arrest system.
