Descender ID S 7/16in Black Petzl

The self-braking I’D S descender is primarily designed for work at height and rope access work.

 It has an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. 

The integrated anti-panic function and anti-error catch limit the risk of an accident due to user error. 

The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at a workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. 

The safety gate allows the rope to be installed with the device remaining connected to the harness. 

I’D S is compatible with 7/16 inch rope (10 to 11.5 mm) ropes and allows handling of loads up to 550 lbs (250 kg).

Description

Designed for work at height and rope access work

Easy to use:

Safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be installed easily while the device remains connected to the harness

Easy rope installation, thanks to the rope guide and markings. Anti-error catch to reduce the risk of an accident due to incorrect installation of the device on the rope

Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and enables comfortable control of the descent. Two possible descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel Anti-panic function automatically stops the descent if the user pulls too hard on the handle, this allows smooth movement along inclined or horizontal terrain

The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at a workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device: as soon as the user releases the handle, the rope is automatically locked in the device. The automatic return system on the handle limits the risk of the device getting accidentally snagged, the handle automatically switches to storage position when the rope is removed from the device, reducing the risk of accidental snagging when the descender is carried on the harness

Versatile:

Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle, for making a reversible haul system or for easy short ascents, for example, the cam can be manipulated to feed out slack easily or belay a lead climber using climbing techniques, the moving side plate locks with a screw, allowing the I’D S to be integrated into rescue kits

An auxiliary brake, open or closed, may be added to improve descent control depending on the weight and rope diameter

The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone

Descending a heavy load up to 550lbs (250 kg), Rope compatibility: 7/16  inch (10 to 11.5 mm) diameter

Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals. Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water. Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987. Proposition 65 became law in November 1986, when California voters approved it by a 63-37 percent margin.  The official name of Proposition 65 is the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

The list of chemicals contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be byproducts of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust.  For more information visit www.p65warnings.ca.gov/
