Petzl I'D S Descender

Description

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 reduce 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 while the device remains connected to the harness. The I’D S is compatible with 10 to 11.5 mm ropes. 

Features

• Self-braking descender 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
  - Markings and rope guide make it easy to install the rope
  - Anti-error catch helps 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
  - Allows smooth movement along inclined or horizontal terrain
  - 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
  - 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
  - Cam can be manipulated to feed out slack easily or belay a lead climber using climbing techniques
  - Moving side plate locks with a screw, allowing the I’D S descender 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
  
• Lowering load: Up to 150 kg for one person, and up to 272 kg when used for rescue
  
• Rope compatibility: 10 to 11.5 mm diameter
