http://www.irudek.com/es-es/descargas/
DESCRIPTION
The fall arrester Irudek Ergostop is a guided type fall arrester on a flexible anchor line made of a three strand
polyamide rope of 14-16 mm diameter. It accompanies the user without requiring manual adjustment during
upward or downward movement, and locks automatically on the anchor line when a fall occurs. The device can
be connected and disconnected at any point of the rope.
APPLICATION
The fall arrester is a subsystem that when connected to a full body harness according to EN 361, constitutes one
of the fall arrest systems specified in the Norm EN 363.
USE : Follow steps 1 to 3 to use the fall arrester.
Step 1 : Connect the upper end of the anchorage line with the help of the karabiner to the anchorage point.
Ensure that the anchorage point has a strength of more than 12 kN.
Step 2 : Connect the karabiner of the rope grab to the attachment element of the full body harness. Ensure that
the karabiner is locked.
Step 3: The user is now free to move up and down along the anchor line and in case of fall, it will lock
preventing a free fall.
INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE & DURING USE
- While clasping the fall arrester to the anchor line make sure that the marking arrow points upwards.
