the

direct supervision of a competent person.

Responsibility

It is the user’s responsibility to ensure

understanding of the correct safe use of
this equipment, to use it only for the pur­poses for which it is designed, and to
practise all proper safety procedures. It is
mandatory that a Risk Assessment be
carried out prior to any use and a rescue
plan be in place for any work at height.
Do not exceed loads either specified by
the manufacturer or loads derived from

alterations may render it ineffective. This
equipment should not be used by persons
with a medical condition(s) that may af­fect the safety of the user.

Compatibility

Always ensure that all components within
a safety system are compatible and allow
the system to function safely.

Use Inspection

Immediately before, during and after use

Testing

All testing for this device at ISC and the
Notified body, has been carried out using
Sterling PER 8mm and Sterling SAFETEC
8mm rope. One-man load 100kg.

Modifications, repair

of these items should only be

installa­tion on the rope. With the handle in STOP
position, carry out a pre-pull test to en­sure the device does not slip down the
rope. If it is able to travel down the rope
the cam should be checked for wear by a
competent person. The device should still
be able to travel UP the rope, but should
not travel down the rope when in STOP
position. Ensure the device is attached
directly to your load bearing full body
harness (this is the only acceptable body
holding device in a fall arrest system)
attachment point (EN361) - marked ’A’
using a locking karabiner (EN362) with a
maximum overall length of 120mm (ISC
KH453 is recommended). When the ad­justable anchor line is loaded by the full
weight of the user, this becomes a work­ing line. Ensure that you have a fully
functional backup device (EN12841 Type
A) (e.g. ISC RED) on a separate rope.
The D2 is not suitable for use in an
EN363 fall arrest system.

To control the device in descent, your left
hand is used to position the handle, and
your right hand is used on the trailing
length of rope to give you extra security
and fine adjustments of speed control. –
see Fig 1. WARNING: Holding onto the

working line may result in loss of descent
control. If in the situation that you pull

the handle too far the device will STOP.
To RESET the device rotate the handle
clockwise, in the direction of the arrows.
This will allow you to continue to DE­SCEND. The use of an ISC karabiner
(KH453) is recommended (for handle
clearance). All rope adjustment devices
create heat when travelling along rope at
speed, which can cause damage to the
rope. Although this device is designed as
a single use system, always check the
rope for damage as well as the device.
When used with Technora rope the rope
must be disposed of after each descent.
When used with polyester rope the rope
must be inspected after each use.

In addition to the visual inspections (see
Inspection) a thorough examination
should be carried out by a competent
person in line with applicable legislation

withdrawn from use and not used again
until confirmed in writing by a competent
person that it is safe to do so, should any
doubt arise about its condition for safe
use or, if it has been used to arrest a fall.

The
potential lifetime of ISC products is up to 10
years for plastic or textile products, and indefi­nite for metal products. The actual lifetime of a
product depends on a variety of factors such
as, the intensity of use, the frequency of use,
the environment in which it has been used, the
competency of the user, and how well it has
been maintained and stored etc.
