| Product description |
Ropes to EN 1891 are for use in systems to EN 341 (descender devices), EN 358 (positioning systems) or EN 363 (fall arrest systems), i.e. for various types of rope-assisted work.
Please bear in mind that new,unused ropes may have a very smooth and even slippery surface. When using them in combination with devices, be sure to observe the respective manufacturer’s information for the device.
IMPORTANT! High friction of the rope on a metal part (e.g. in excessively fast abseiling procedures) or of the rope on a rope or other textile material may be cause overheating, damage to, and even rupturing of the rope.
End connections sewn or attached by mean of figure of eight knots, all further ropes attached by means of figure of eight knots.If you wish to make the end connections yourself, we recommend the use of figure of eight knots.
A sufficiently long rope end (10cm min.) must remain after the knot.
Form the figure 8 knot correctly as shown below!
Mind the course of the load bearing rope section (arrow). Deviating knot design considerably reduces the breaking load.
If any free climbing activity is necessary during the use of this rope in rope access,rescue or speleology, suitable ropes (e.g. dynamic mountaineering ropes to EN 892) must be used.
The system must include a reliable anchoring point (in accordance with EN 795) above the user.The low stretch kernmantel rope should not be allowed to sag between the user and the reliable anchoring point.
Type A and B ropes:
The performance requirements of Type B ropes are lower than those for Type A ropes.
Accordingly, when using Type B ropes, greater care is required for protection against the effects of friction, cuts,general wear and tear etc. Consequently, the possibility of a fall must be minimized by applying maximum caution. |
