4.1 DESCENDING

GB
After the device has been attached to an anchor point the person to be rescued is attached
to the descending rope. The rope can be attached to the attachment points of a belt (e.g. accord-
ing to EN 361) or to the attachment points of rescue harnesses or rescue slings (e.g. according
to EN 1497 or EN 1498). All connection elements must be securely closed.
If the rope between the person to be descended and the device is slack (A) the rope (B) has
to be pulled through the device until it is tightened (C).
Fall arresters or fall restraint connections must be released prior to any descent. The upstream
rope is released and the rescued person is lowered with a constant speed.
The descent can be stopped or slowed by controlling the rope over a friction point on the Milan
device. In the case of a descending device only a karabiner may be used as the friction point.
The speed of descent depends on:
- the user weight and
- the weight of the free-hanging rope entering the device, if the rope is not from a rope bag
which is attached to the user, feeding out from the rope bag.
