the descender doesn’t have movable flanges; this makes it a robust and mistake-resilient device (quick insertion and release, no need to unclip it for rope insertion)
new cam tested for higher loads – enhanced braking in both stop positions
unique way of rope insertion; diminished possibility of incorrect insertion of the rope; even incorrect insertions will not result in a fall as the rope is blocked
sensitive and longer handle enables smooth descent without harmful rope twisting, gentle and progressive braking (enhanced press stop braking mode)
rubberized handle provides pleasant feeling, non slip and thermal insulation
ergonomically improved curved edges and longer flanges provide the user with a comfortable grip with the handle
integrated wear indicator
high strength plain bearing added to the pivoting cam
all parts in contact with the rope are made of stainless steel (it ensures minimum possible wear)
reduced force required on the handle
breaking loads in excess of 22 kN
increased maximum rated load to 200 kg
reduced slippage of the rope to 600 daN
for use with static ropes with diameter 9 – 12 mm
Load limits:
diameter of rope 9 mm ....................... maximum rated load 130 kg
diameter of rope 10 – 12 mm ............. maximum rated load 200 kg
