NOTE: The Indication LED will turn red for a short moment and then switch off when the Power Button is pushed while the Emergency Stop is activated.
The Ascender cannot be activated as long as the Emergency Stop is pushed in.
5.5) Twisted rope and rotation
5.5.1) Ensure, especially when descending, that the rope runs untwisted into the Ascender. Twisted ropes caught into the Rope Guide can
cause a rope jam and can, in rare cases, result in rope damage.
5.5.2) The dead rope must never be loaded (in order to avoid side loading on the Rope Guide). Do not build tramways using the primary
rope as shown in the picture.
NOTE: When descending, hold the rope entering the Ascender to prevent it from running twisted into the Ascender.
5.5.3) Stop immediately when a rope twist is observed, untwist and organise the rope before continuing.
WARNING: When descending, make sure the rope is fed neatly into the Rope Grab so that there are no kinks or twists in the rope. Take
special are when using long ropes to prevent twists or kinks. Good rope management is ESSENTIAL.
5.6) Remote control
The Remote Control can be used for a multitude of applications for both personnel and equipment lifting.
150 m (492 ft)
The ACX Ascender can be operated by a Remote Control to a distance of up to 150 metres (492 ft) in direct line of sight.
The Remote Control will interrupt the throttle control on the Ascender when used. The operator of the Ascender can take back
control by using the throttle. (This is a new function). If the Remote Control is not used for 10 seconds, control is automatically
returned to the Ascender. Control is instantly returned to the Ascender when the remote is turned off with the Power button.
