GEV FlammEx FPL 4306 Handbuch Seite 2

In the event of fire, be warned in plenty of time by FlammEx smoke
GB
detectors so that you can make your escape.
If the emergency exits are blocked and the fire service has not yet arrived, a
FlammEx rescue ladder provides an escape route when the only way out is
through a window or over a balcony.
Tested to current standards (BGI 638 - previously ZH 1/368), the universal
rescue ladder is made of fire-proof, high-quality aluminium and is fitted with
an integrated (steel) wall hook for quick and easy use to ensure a fast and
safe alternative emergency exit.
Available types:
• Length 5 m (for approx. 2 floors)
• Length 8 m (for approx. 3 floors)
For an escape route via a balcony,
balustrades or sloping roof.
For use in any position where the
rescue ladder cannot be directly
attached to a wall.
Installation:
Locate a stable attachment point on which to hang the rescue ladder for a
safe descent. Balconies, balustrades, sloping roofs or sturdy heating pipes
generally provide a firm hold. Where there is no other suitable means of
mounting, the wall-mounted holder (available as an accessory) will need to
be mounted on the brickwork.
Hook the steel wall hook over a
stable attachment point.
Unfold each rung individually or in
a bundle.
Release the fixing clip by gently
pressing the rungs together.
Climb down keeping your arms and
legs extended.

• People on the ground can hold onto the ladder to keep it steady and
make it is easier to climb down.
