devices.
The use of this PPE is restricted to qualified persons properly trained or working under the direct responsibility of a
competent superior. The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper
understanding of the instructions in this manual.
The user is personally responsible for any use of this PPE which does not comply with the requirements of this manual

GENERAL FEATURES:

The ASCORD is a French-designed, stainless steel fall arrester with an opening slide mechanism. It slides along a
three-strand 14-mm polyamide rope, accompanying the user's vertical movements. The device operates totally
automatically, and features an integrated energy dissipater and foolproof design that prevents it from being fitted
upside down on the rope.

USAGE LIMITS:

The device is easy to open. Depress the locking plate, withdraw the moving assembly until it is clear of the notch, then
swing it upwards. (1)
The rope can then be placed in the channel that forms the body of the device. (2)
The device is closed by pushing the moving assembly back into the notch. Then press in to engage the locking plate;
the assembly will position itself automatically. (3)
The device should then be attached directly to the front or rear connector on the user's harness with a snap hook.
When in use, the rope slides through the channel, which is fitted with a roller for smooth, easy movement. In the event
of a fall, a hinged lever presses on a serrated cam which traps the rope at the base of the channel, clamping the
ASCORD onto the rope to stop the fall. The operator is held in place at the level of the incident.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE:

- We recommend assigning an ASCORD fall arrester to each user.
- The rope's anchor point must be located above the user, and have a breaking strain of at least 12 kN.
- There should be a clearance of at least 2.50 m below the user's feet.
USAGE LIMITS:
