Installing the rope
Open the moving side
plate. Put the handle in
position (C) to open the
cam. Insert the rope as
indicated by the diagrams
engraved on the device.
Close the moving side plate.
Connect the I'D with a
locking carabiner.
WARNING: the moving
side plate must be properly
engaged on the cam axle
and on the carabiner.
6A. Device on the harness
6B. Device on an anchor
You must add friction by
redirecting the braking
side of the rope through a
carabiner.
Warning, the anti-error
catch can trap a rope that
is installed backwards, but
it does not eliminate all
possible errors.

Function test

Before each use, verify that the rope
is correctly installed and that the
device is working properly. You must
always use a backup safety system
when performing this test.
(*) WARNING DANGER OF DEATH,
do not allow anything to interfere
with the operation of the device or its
components (cam, catch, etc.). Any
constraint on the device negates the
braking function.
7A. Device on the harness
Pull on the anchored side of the rope:
the rope must jam in the device. If
not, check that the rope is correctly
installed.
Gradually put your weight onto
the device, (rope taut, handle in
position c). With one hand holding
the braking side of the rope,
gradually pull on the handle with the
other hand to allow the rope to slide:
- Descent is possible = rope correctly
installed.
- Descent impossible = check the
installation of the rope (rope jammed
by the anti-error catch).
When the handle is released, the I'D
brakes, then jams the rope.
WARNING, if your device doesn't
work anymore (rope slippage),
retire it.
7B. Device on the anchor
Pull on the loaded side of the rope:
the rope must jam in the device. If
not, check that the rope is correctly
installed.
Warning: if the rope is installed
backwards without being redirected
through a braking carabiner, the anti-
error catch will not work.
WARNING, if your device doesn't
work anymore (rope slippage),
retire it.
