2. Product Specification
2.1. The device is designed to arrest the fall of one climber in conjunction with a Latchways vertical fall
arrest system.
2.2. If a climber were to fall whilst connected to the Latchways system the energy absorber will deploy
and reduce the load applied to the body to 6 kN (1,350 lbf) or less.
2.3. The device has an anti-inversion mechanism which prevents it being used on the cable system if
there is an attempt to use it upside down.
2.4. When the device is attached to the cable the horizontal distance from the cable to the harness front
attachment point is 0.3 m,
(12”) which allows the user to ascend / descend unhindered, this must not
be extended, shortened or have any components added or removed
2.5. The full arrest distance of the device when tested to CSA Z259.2.5 is less than 150 mm
(6”).
