DPM430

Applications

Individual vertical sliding fall arrest device ensures protection against falls when a user moves vertically along an anchorage line
(textile rope).

Description and Principle

Fall arrest device; free vertical movement at normal speed. Housing is opened using a captive screw and flat bolt. Locking occurs due to the differential speed which engages an eccentric cam. between the user and the device on its support during the fall. The energy is absorbed by the lengthening of the support (>10%) and by the sliding movement along it. The device has a locking ring which prevents attaching it to the support upside down. An arrow indicates the correct direction of movement and position for attachment to the support.
