USE
Ropes to EN 1891 are for use in systems to EN 341 (descender devices), EN 358 (positioning systems)
or EN 363 (fall arrest systems), i.e. for various types of rope-assisted work.
Please bear in mind that new, unused ropes may have a very smooth and even slippery surface. When
using them in combination with devices, be sure to observe the respective manufacturer's information
for the device.
IMPORTANT! High friction of the rope on a metal part (e.g. in excessively fast abseiling procedures) or
of the rope on a rope or other textile material may cause overheating, damage to, and even rupturing of
the rope.
End connections are supplied by us with a a spLIFE termination or attached by means of a figure of
eight knot; end connections for Xstatic 11,7mm are supplied as a figure of eight knot.
The spLIFe offers particular advantages:
– The rope remains flexible even near the eye termination.
– The eye termination is low profile and hardly exceeds the rope diameter.
The eye termination meets the requirements of EN 1891:1998 for rope type A, i.e. it withstands 15 kN
for 3 minutes when
new.
The breaking strength quoted is for rope, or rope including the eye termination loaded in a longitudinal
direction. Therefore, never apply a transverse load to a rope end termination eye (e.g. by applying a
load across the eye via two connectors in the same termination eye). Be aware of the loads applied to
the rope in the chosen configuration and never overload it. We recommend safety factors of 7 or more.
The end termination eye spLIFE is low profile and hardly exceeds the rope diameter.
Caution! The termination spLIFE, respectively, is not suitable for use as a stopper! If you wish
to make the end connections yourself, we recommend the use of figure of eight knots.
Secure the figure 8 knot by attaching a further knot at the rope ends (e.g. a double overhand knot).
Form the figure 8 knot correctly as shown below! Mind the course of the load bearing rope section
(arrow). Deviating knot design considerably reduces the breaking load.
