16. The average lowering speed is approx. 0.7m per second.
17. Do not abseil over hazardous goods, bulk goods, liquids or obstacles into which you could sink or otherwise
injure yourself through an impact.
18. The line of descent should be free from all obstacles..
Care and storage
1.
HAS devices should be protected from the effects of welding flames and sparks, fire, acids, caustic solutions,
extreme temperatures and corrosive environmental influences.
2. Where HAS devices are permanently exposed to the elements you are recommended to lightly lubricate the
wire lanyard with acid-free oil or Vaseline at regular intervals.
3. An HAS device that is only used occasionally should be stored in a dry place away from dust and oil – if
possible in a sealed container – e.g. in a storage box (available as an IKAR accessory). During transport the
HAS device should not be damaged through impact.
4. Any components that have become wet through cleaning or use may only be dried naturally and not close to
fire or other heat sources.
5. Before using disinfectants, you have to contact the manufacturer due to the complex legal product
classifications based on the specific applications and constituents.
Accessories
Please note
: In order to prevent a negative impact on the safe function of the fall arresting devices, it is only
permitted to use accessories approved by the manufacturer (e.g. rescue clamps to DIN 19428:2018, protective
covers, etc.). The manufacturer is not liable for any accidents involving the life and limb of the user if using non-
approved accessories.
Permissible abseiling work:
The value for attaining the permissible abseiling work (W) is max. 500.000 Joule
W
(Joule) =
mass
x
g
(9,81 m/s²) x
abseiling height
x
descents
Terms:
W = abseiling work (joules), m = mass (kg), g (fall acceleration) = 9,81m/s²,
h = abseiling height (m), n = number of descents
Permissible number of descents when evacuating several people
in succession using the HAS 9 and HAS 18 device:
Device type
Cable length
(n) at 75 kg
(n) at 100 kg
(n) at 136 kg

Note
: After evacuating several people in succession, or once the maximum abseiling work has been
reached, the device should be serviced by the manufacturer or an expert trained and authorised by
the manufacturer! All inspections undertaken shlould always be entered in the log book.
