EDELRID SMART BELAY X Manual Del Usuario página 15

The product may be used exclusively in ropes courses to
EN 15567-1, which are designed such that intentional or
unintentional locking of one of the branches on an ele-
ment not belonging to the securing level is impossible,
thereby making detachment from the securing level im-
possible without the use of tools.
3 Compatibility: If this system is used in connection with
a harness to EN 12277 Type A & C or to EN 361, the ISS
must be fastened to the catch eye or the tie-in point of the
harness by suitable means (Fig. 3), such as a cow hitch
knot, a lanyard to EN 354 (Fig. 4b), a connector to EN
362-Q (Fig. 4a) or a comparable means of connection.
Use of the ISS requires that the force applied to the secur-
ing system will not increase 6 kN at any time. If this is not
guaranteed, an energy absorber to EN 355 must be used
in connection with the ISS (Fig. 3 C). When determining
the free space required below the securing level, the
length of the ISS of 83 cm (plus the length of the connect-
ing system to the harness) must be considered.
Ropes:
The MCD is suitable for all popular steel ropes (10 mm ≤ Ø
≤ 13 (14*) mm), which are commonly used in ropes cours-
es. The type and configuration of the steel rope influence
wearing of the product. Edelrid recommends using a steel
rope with a diameter of 12 to 13 mm for zip lines. If you
have questions on the configuration of steel ropes, please
contact your steel rope supplier.
The function is limited on stainless steel ropes. Contact
the manufacturer for additional information.
* To ensure proper function on smaller rope diameters,
spacers limiting the opening width are used. To be able to
use the MCD on ropes with a diameter exceeding 13 mm,
the spacers must be removed by the manufacturer or an
authorized person.
Use:
Before assigning the ISS to a user, the operating company
(owner) or the trainer must check it for proper function
and possible defects. Ensure that the two roller karabiners
cannot be opened at the same time.
In locations entailing a fall hazard, the ISS may only be
used with both MCDs engaged. Relocating MCDs is only
allowed at a secure location. The MCDs must be detached
and re-engaged one after the other, one MCD must always
be engaged!
If the MCDs are used as pulleys on a zip line, be sure not
to exceed the maximum speed of 10 m/s.
The following basic rules must be observed when using
the ISS, users must be instructed to obey them.
Correct connection: The compatibility rules (Fig. 3) must
be observed.
5 Use: Exclusively engage the ISS to steel elements of the
securing level with 10 mm ≤ Ø ≤ 14* mm. Observe the
DRL principle (detach, re-engage, lock).
6 Guiding the MCD: Move the MCDs with your arm.
7 Guiding the lanyard: Move the lanyard past your head.
8 Karabiner locks: Ensure the MCDs are locked when
you start exercising.
9 Return stop: When climbing up or down, the roller kara-
biners may start moving once the user falls. To prevent
impact, the operating company (owner) should install re-
turn stoppers as a precaution. When climbing vertically
up/down, the operating company (owner) must provide
suitable securing points, to ensure the force acting on the
system will not exceed 6 kN.
10 Transport: We recommend using the Smart Belay Hol-
ster/ Band Hook Loop.
11 Hair: Tie long hair.
FAULTY USE
The following types of faulty use of the ISS may cause in-
jury or loss of function of the system. Never use the sys-
tem this way.
If faulty use has occurred, proper function of the product
must be checked. If the product's function is impaired,
contact the manufacturer or an authorized person (sales
representative or installer of the ropes course).
12 Opening the karabiners: When one karabiner is open,
do not attempt to open the other karabiner deliberately
and forcibly. No greater force than needed to open one
karabiner must act on the other karabiner.
13 Lanyards: Do not deliberately twist lanyards.
14 Lanyards: Do not deliberately fold or kink lanyards.
15 Strangulation hazard: Do not hold your head between
the branches of the lanyard during exercises. The
EDELRID Pilot Bar (Fig. 2) reduces the strangulation risk.
