tripod.

h)  Remove the ball pin located above the idler 

pulley at the top of the tracpode

 tripod 

(

Figure 12c

).

i)  Run the rope of the derope

®

 descent device 

around the idler pulley (

Figure 12d

).

j)  Fit the ball pin to prevent the rope from 

coming out of the idler pulley (

Figure 12e

).

k) Open the rope blocking device on the 

bracket (

Figure 12f

).

l)  Insert the rope coming out of the derope

®

  

descent device in the rope blocking device 

of the bracket (

Figure 12g

m) Throw the rope down, making sure that 

there are no entanglements or knots, that 

the rope does not come in contact with 

sharp edges and that it reaches the ground.

n)  Close the rope blocking device (

Figure 12h

).

5. OPERATION

5.1 

Before use

Functionally check the derope

®

 descent device 

by manually pulling the rope in the device over a 

minimum length of 3 ft. (1 m) in both directions to 

make sure that the resistance during movement 

increases with the speed of movement.

 

WARNING

Always use a self-locking snap hook for an 

attachment in any personal rescue system. 

5.2 

Evacuation function

During a intentional vertical evacuation, the 

person must not move away by more than 20° 

with respect to the vertical axis to avoid any 

excessive swinging effects. The anchor point 

must be above the evacuation area.

5.2.1  After you have installed the derope

®

 descent 

device in compliance with the instructions in 

section 4, proceed as follows:

a)  Fasten the person to be evacuated or hook 

yourself up by the connector at the end 

of the evacuation strand of the derope

®

 

descent device to a fall-arrest harness.

b)  Pull the free strand of the rope to tension 

the evacuation strand.

c)  Run the free strand of the rope through the 

rope guide then through the jamming cleat.

d) If necessary, check that the handwheel 

handle on the derope

®

 Up descent device 

models is folded in.

e)  Place the person to be evacuated above the 

open space. The person will not descend since 

the rope is blocked by the jamming cleat.

f)  Start the descent by releasing the free 

strand of the rope in the jamming cleat.
