FUNCTION
Pulling once on the connecting band
upward toward the anchor point moves
the fall arrester upwards on the rope. If
a force is applied downwards on the
connecting band, e.g. in the event of a
fall, the fall arrester FALLSTOP® FS BK
clamps to the rope. The fall arrester does
not stop abruptly but cushions the fall
impact by means of defined friction on
the safety rope and reduces the fall
impact force to max. 6.0 kN.
