When the victims position is reached, descent can be interrupted by firmly grasping and holding the free end
of the rope. (See Figure 16) If a secondary rescuer is available at the R550 Rescue System, the free end of the
rope can be passed through the pigtail and then secured in the cam cleats to prevent unintentional descent while
the primary rescuer is securing the victim.
Connect the Victim to the R550 Rescue System: Connect a rescue lanyard (RL) (or similar equipment) between

the lifeline snap hook connected to the rescuer's full body harness front D-ring (RD) or the back D-ring on the
victim's full body harness (C).

Do not use a body belt with this equipment. Body belts do not support your entire body, which may result in
serious injury.
Disconnect the Victim's Fall Arrest Subsystem: Ensure that the victim is securely attached to the

R550 Rescue System and then detach the victim's fall arrest subsystem (lanyard, etc.) to free the victim for descent.
;
If a secondary rescuer is available at the R550 Rescue System, the Rescue Hub can be used to raise the
victim slightly for detachment of their fall arrest subsystem.
Descend to Safety: Release the free end of the lifeline to initiate descent. Descent speed will be automatically

controlled to a rate described in Table 1 ("R550 Rescue System - Descent Requirements") by the R550 Rescue
System's centrifugal brake. Descent may be interrupted by firmly grasping the free end of the lifeline (see Figure 16).
Bend your knees to prepare for landing. After landing, disconnect the lifeline from the body support. Record all descents
in the Descent Log (Table 3).
;
The R550 Rescue & Escape Device may become hot during use which could injure the user if parts other
than those used to control the descent are touched. Use beyond the specified load and descent length limits may
generate excessive heat which could damage the descent line.
4.2 INSTRUCTION CARDS: The R550 Rescue System is equipped with a number of instruction cards that instruct the user,
through images, how to use the various pieces of the R550 Rescue System. See Figure 23 for the locations of these
instruction cards on the backpack. See Figure 24 for an illustration of each instruction card. Information provided on each
instruction card is as follows:

5.0 INSPECTION
5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The R550 Rescue System must be inspected at the intervals defined in Section 1.
Additionally, the R550 Rescue System must be sent to an authorized service center for inspection and service every
five years. Inspection procedures are described in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). Inspect all other
components of the Fall Protection System per the frequencies and procedures defined in the manufacturer's instructions.
;
Humidity Resistant Case Inspection: If the R550 Oil & Gas Rescue System is stored continuously in a Humidity
Resistant Case (see Figure 17), monthly and yearly inspections are not required and the device may be sent to an
authorized service center at intervals not to exceed ten years. In addition to inspection prior to each use, the Humidity
Indicator on the case (see Figure 17) should be inspected annually and the date and inspector's initials logged on the
Case Inspection Label. If the Humidity Indicator displays a reading of 60 or greater (Pie Sector Indicator), the case
should be removed from service and the contents inspected per the procedures defined in Table 2
5.2 DEFECTS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the R550 Rescue System from service
immediately. Do not attempt to repair the Rescue System.
5.3 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the Rescue System is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as
the product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
5.4 RFID TAG: A number of R550 Oil & Gas Rescue System components are equipped with Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) tags. RFID tags for the R550 Rescue System can be used in conjunction with the i-Safe handheld reading device
and the web-based portal to simplify inspection and inventory control and provide records for rescue equipment. Refer to
Figure 25 for RFID tag locations on the R550 Oil & Gas Rescue System.
