3.1 Fitting a connector
Each connector (except on model Ax0) is fitted with an anchor point sensor system
preventing it from being hooked onto a device not made of steel (magnetisable). For
model Ax2, click on C-ZAM magnetic rings only.
1. Place the nose of the opened connector in front of a magnetisable anchor
point. Place the arrow facing the anchor point. Wait until the barrel is released;
the detection system self-locks if you force it
2. Push the connector into its locked position without forcing. When this connector is
locked, the other one can be opened
3.2 Removing a connector
CLiC-iT is fitted with a mechanism preventing one connector from being unhooked if the
other one is already unhooked.
1. Press the trigger of the locked connector with the index finger.
2. Remove the connector while keeping the trigger pressed. The connector is
open
, it can
be hooked onto another anchor point
3.3 Starting on a route
When starting on a route, check that one connector is
open
. If both connectors are
locked,
place them both on a free cable end in a safe area, then follow instructions to
open 1 connector.
1. Lock the
open
connector on the lifeline
2. Open the second connector by pressing his trigger
3. Lock the connector on the lifeline. Make sure that the user connects well both
connectors on the lifeline at the beginning of the course
3.4 Leaving a route
Procedure for releasing the connectors from the cable, to be performed only in a safe
area. Follow the safety instructions applicable to the area in question.
1. Unclick a connector by pressing its trigger.
2. Click it on the free cable end (or on the way out C-OFF reference DAS044).
Pull it out of the cable end without unclicking it. Finally unclick the other connector by
pressing its trigger.
3.5 Fastening the loop with a lark’s head knot
1. Feed the loop through the sit hamess belay point (or full body harness
sternal attachment point)
2. Feed the first connector through the lanyard loop.
3. Feed the second connector through the lanyard loop.
4. Pull on the lanyard in order to form the lark’s head.
For further fastening configurations, a prior validation must be asked and delivered by
SARL DEHONDT before use.
3.6 Briefings
1. Carry the equipment using C-TWO accessory. (Ref : DAS046)
2. Place the connectors in front of the pulley or on the C-ZiP Xtrem (Ref: DAS180) for a
zipline in order to reduce friction on the cable.
3. Let the users handle CliC-iT on the ground (on a taut cable) before starting the
course.
3.7 Forbidden manœuvres
Neglecting the basic operational rules may lead to a defect of the product causing
injuries to the user. If an operational defect occurs, the product should be checked imme
-
diately.
Contact the manufacturer in case of improper operation. Handling of the product by the
user with tools or metallic magnetisable objects is strictly forbidden.
1, At the start of the route, make sure that the user properly connects their two
connectors to the lifeline and that their connectors are properly locked on the
lifeline
2, Don’t try to force open the connectors or to manipulate the U hook by hand.
Don’t place your hand between the cable and the connector
3, Don’t try to fit the connectors on the lanyard, the harness or a branch, a rope
(which is not an anchor point)
4, Don’t lock the connector on a tool, a magnetisable object a magnet or an
another connector other than on the safety line. Tricking the product with tools,
or magnetizable metal objects is strictly prohibited
5, Don’t place your head between the lanyards, there is a risk of neck
entrapment in case of fall.
(cf 6.Caution)
6, Don’t pull on the connectors or the lanyard during a while zipping
7, Don’t drop or drag the connectors on the ground
8, Don’t hang on the lanyard sheath, this could damage the lanyard and the
control cables
9, Don’t twist the lanyard. If the lanyard is twisted and one of the connectors is
stuck, remove the other connector and untwist the lanyard. If 2 connectors are
stuck (several twists) : Pull the connectors apart and remove one of the
connectors. To ensure optimal durability of the product, we recommend never
to exceed two twists
10, Excessive spin of the central part of the lanyard may damage the control
cables
11, Don’t bend the lanyard.
Points 8, 9 and/or 10 and/or 11 can lead to the failure of the synchronization function
and possibly lead to simultaneous opening of the two connectors.
12 Don’t hit the connectors between each other or against an obstacle or on the cable.
13 Do not attempt to trick the connector with the magnet of a C-ZAM ring or C-
CONNECT.
Points 12 and 13 can cause the closing of a U-hook out of the lifeline.
This allows a potential disconnection of the second connector of the lifeline.
