descenders: compliant with standard EN 795, or
having minimum capacity of 10 kN (1 ton).
– Ladder for derope™ UP B and UP K descenders:

descenders.
– Telescopic legs show no signs of deformation or
bending.
– Rubber shoes present on all legs.
– Idler pulley present at tracpode tripod head.
– No signs of deformation, corrosion of tracpode
tripod head.
– Rope anti-jump pin present on idler pulley.
2. Visually inspect rope along its entire length, and at
its ends, to ensure the integrity of the rope sheath
and the regularity of its diameter.
3. Functionally check the descender by manually
moving the rope in the device over a minimum
length of 1 m in both directions to make sure that
the resistance during movement increases with the
speed of movement.
4. Check that the casings are in good condition: these
should show no signs of significant damage; all
markings should be present and legible.
5. Check the connectors: these should show no signs
of deformation or corrosion, and should close and
lock correctly.

/ UP K / UP R descenders: these should show no
signs of deformation or corrosion, and should lock
correctly.
