Heightec PRISM descender

Description

Rope access descender with variable friction and high capacity for abseiling, ascending,

lowering, hauling and rescue

Features:

• Multiple configuration, can change between configurations under load

• Double-braking mechanism

• High, 200kg load rating

• All component parts visible

• Stainless steel friction surfaces

Multiple threading configurations provide different levels of friction. User

can switch from one configuration to the other while device is loaded:

Normal Friction – will brake if the handle is released or if it is squeezed

fully. Prism does not require additional friction from a second karabiner to

hold higher loads.

Reduced Friction – used for: ascending, paying rope in and out, or under

partial load, such as when moving across a horizontal surface towards an

edge prior to abseiling.

Meets selection criteria of IRATA International Code of Practice, March

2013, 2.7.5.4.

Locks if handle is released or squeezed too hard.

Suitable for 2 person loads.

Patented duo brake mechanism increases friction under heavy loading

and reduces rate at which friction is released.

Inspection and cleaning is simple as all component parts of device are

visible and accessible.

Stainless steel friction surfaces for reduced wear and consistent

performance.

Can be used as a releasable anchor in rig for rescue systems
