EN...............................................................................
1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 - The user’s organization shall retain the manufacturer’s instructions
and make them readily available to all users. Users shall read and per-
fectly understand the information provided by the manufacturer before
using the device, shall comply with all instructions regarding the inspec-
tion, maintenance and storage of the equipment and make sure that the
device is in perfect condition and working properly. Important: this infor-
mation relates to the characteristics, services, assembly, disassembly,
maintenance, conservation, disinfection, etc. of the device. Although it
does include some suggestions on how to use the device, it cannot be
considered a true to life instruction manual (the same as an operating
and maintenance handbook for a car does not teach how to drive it and
does not replace a driving school). Warning: rescue work, tree climb-
ing and works at height are activities with a high degree of risk,
which may lead to accidents and even death. The user takes com-
plete responsibility for the risks deriving from these activities and from
using our devices. This device can be used only by individuals medically
t. It is essential that the users of this type of equipment receive proper
training and instruction, including detailed procedures for the safe use of
such equipment in their work application. ANSI/ASSE Z359.2 establishes
guidelines and requirements for an employer’s managed fall protection
program, including policy statements, duties and responsibilities, training
and evaluations, minimum requirements for fall protection procedures,
eliminating and controlling fall hazards, rescue procedures, incident in-
vestigations, and evaluating program effectiveness.
1.2 - If the user has the slightest doubt concerning the efciency of the
device it shall be replaced immediately, particularly after having used it
to arrest a fall.
1.3 - Minimum resistance of anchoring points, on both natural and arti-
cial elements, can be at least 12 kN. The assessment of those made on
natural elements (rocks, plants, etc.) is possible only empirically, and can
therefore be performed by a competent expert, while those on articial
elements (metal, concrete, etc.) can be calculated scientically, and can
therefore be performed by qualied personnel.
1.4 – 802.100 BACK-UP ANSI is tested in accordance to ANSI/ASSE
Z359.15-2014. This device is inspected in accordance with the proce-
dures of the Quality System certied according to the UNI EN ISO 9001.
Warning: laboratory tests, inspections, information and norms do
not always manage to reproduce what actually happens in practice,
and so performance under real usage conditions in a natural envi-
ronment may differ, sometimes even considerably. The best infor-
mation can be gained by continual practice under the supervision
of skilled, expert, qualied individuals.

8 – USE INFORMATION
802.100 BACK-UP ANSI is a fall arrestor device that travels on a lifeline
and will automatically engage and lock onto the lifeline in the event of a fall,
arresting the user.
Important, this device comply with ANSI/ASSE Z359.15 when used:
- in «FREE MODE»,
- in the capacity range of minimum 130 lbs and maximum 310 lbs,
- with 7/16” polyester static ropes complying to CI 1201 and NFPA
1983:2012 T,
- with optional use of a lanyard:
- Non-Integral Lanyards: 802.400 Kong Backup Lanyard,
- Any Energy Absorbing Lanyards meeting the requirements
of ANSI/ASSE Z359.13.
Warning: humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt, etc. greatly reduce (up to nulli-
fying) the performances of the devices.
8.1 – Nomenclature of the parts
Fig. 1 – (A) Lock device – (B) “Free mode” / “Lock mode” selection lever – (C)
Connector – (D) Lanyard with Load indicator (E) - (F) Label.
8.2 – Use in a fall arrest system
For the sake of safety in case of risk of falls from a height, it is essential to:
- assess the risks and make sure that the whole system, where this device is
only a component, is reliable and safe,
- prepare a rescue plan to deal with any emergencies possibly arising while
the device is being used,
- have the means at hands to implement the rescue plan,
- make sure that the anchoring device or the anchoring point is always posi-
tioned as high up as possible, and that work is done in such way as to reduce
potential falls and relevant heights to a minimum,
- in order to avoid all possible problems (e.g. ground, material rubbing against
the rock face, abrasions, etc..), carefully assess the free height under the
user (clearance). Examples of main factors can be: height of a potential fall,
Full Body Harness Stretch (Hs), rope paid out, the length of any attachment
element extender, the stretch in any energy dissipaters or absorbers, the
height of the user and the “pendulum” effect.
Important: in a system for protection against falling from heights, it is obliga-
tory to use a complete harness in compliance with current regulations.
8.3 – Function modes
Select the function mode before inserting the device on the rope, according
to the intended purpose:
- “FREE MODE”: the device is free to move in both directions.
- “LOCK MODE”: the device slides in one direction only (upwards).
The selection between “FREE MODE” and “LOCK MODE” is made by mov-
ing the lever (B) tted with a locking button:
- push down the button,
- move the lever (B) to the desired position (g.2),
- check that the button returns in position and locks the lever movement.
Warning, DANGER OF DEATH:
- the device blocks if the load is applied to the connector only, therefore
never load it in any other way (e.g. g. 3 and 4) because it will slide
along the lifeline,
- do not manipulate the device or hold the fall arrester body or lever,
instead move it up by the lanyard.
- the device shall be kept equal to or above the height of the harness
attachment point (g. 5),
- this device must be used only with the following connector series
attached directly to the eyelet: 412 OVALONE, 414 OVALONE DNA, 512
OVALONE SS.
8.4 – Connection of the device
With the device in front of you, in the same position as gure 6:
- choose function mode “FREE MODE” as in point 8.3,
- open the device by rotating anti-clockwise the revolving face,
- insert the device on the lifeline,
- close the device by rotating clockwise the revolving face,
- insert the connector (C) into the eyelet of the “BACK-UP”, hook it up to the
attachment point of the full body harness and let the gate of the connector
close.
Important:
- keep the device as high as possible above the user to reduce slippage (g.
7),
- the unstitching of the load indicator (E) means that the lanyard (D) has been
loaded with a force of approx. 4 kN (g. 8), in such event replace the whole
device.
Warning:
- do not connect the device to:
- the lifeline in any other way, (e.g. g. 9): risk of death!
- types of lifeline and/or lanyard different from what specied, be-
cause the device performance may differ from the performances
specied in the standard,
- attachment points of full body harnesses not compatible with fall
arrest systems,
- more than one lifeline,
- more than one user.
- when positioning the device, make sure that:
- during use, the user will not be positioned on an unstable
surface, ne grain material such as sand or coal,
- anchor points of the lifeline are placed above the user,
- the lifeline between anchor point and user is not loose.
9 - CHECKS BEFORE AND AFTER USE
Check and make sure that:
- the device:
- is suitable for the intended use;
- is not out of shape and does not show signs of cracks or wear;
- its inner levers and springs work freely,
- its selection lever is working as described in point 8.3,
- the points where the rope passes through are free from mud,
sand, etc. and that there are no lubricant substances.
- the connector (C) is working correctly, in particular check that the gate
locking device works as described in g. 10,
- the lifeline and the lanyard (D) do not show any signs of damaged
threads, stiffening, variations of diameter, cuts, wear or seams coming
apart. Be careful of cut or loose threads!
- the load indicator (E) is unbroken.
Before use, on each occasion check that the device holds correctly by
putting your weight on it, in a position that is completely safe.

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
A) Users must read and perfectly understand the information provided by the manufac-
turer (hereinafter ‘information) before using the device. Warning:
- this information relates to the characteristics, services, assembly, disassembly,
maintenance, conservation, disinfection, etc. of the device. Although it does in-
clude some suggestions on how to use the device, it must not be considered a
true to life instruction manual the same as an operating and maintenance handbo-
ok for a car does not teach how to drive it and does not replace a driving school);
- climbing rocks and ice, abseiling, via ferrata, speleology, alpine skiing, canyo-
ning, exploration, rescue work, tree climbing and works at height are all activities
with a high degree of risk, which may lead to accidents and even death. The user
takes complete responsibility for the risks deriving from these activities and from
using our device.
- this device must be used only by individuals medically t that have been trained
(and educated) in its use, or under the direct control of instructors/supervisors
who can guarantee their safety.
B) Before and after using the device, the user must perform all the inspections described
in the specic information and, in particular, must make sure that the device is:
- in perfect condition and working well,
- suitable for use: only the techniques that are not crossed out are permitted, any other
use is considered improper and therefore potentially dangerous.
C) If the user has the slightest doubt concerning the efciency of the device, it must be
replaced immediately, particularly after having used it to stop a fall. Improper use, de-
formation, falls, wear, chemical contamination, exposure to temperatures below -30°C
or higher than +50°C for the textile/plastic components/devices, and +100°C for metal
devices, are some examples of other causes that may reduce, limit or end the life of
the device. We strongly suggest using the device personally in order to continuously
monitor the degree of protection and efciency.
D) This equipment can be used in combination with other devices when they are com-
patible with the relevant information provided by the manufacturers.
E) The anchoring position is essential for safely stopping a fall: carefully assess the free
height under the user (clearance), height of a potential fall, rope paid out, the stretch in
any energy dissipaters or absorbers, the height of the user and the “pendulum” effect
in order to avoid all possible problems (e.g. ground, material rubbing against the rock
face, abrasions, etc..).
F) Minimum resistance of anchoring points, on both natural and articial elements, must
be at least 12 kN. The assessment of those made on natural elements (rocks, plants,
etc.) is possible only empirically, and must therefore be performed by a competent ex-
pert, while those on articial elements (metal, concrete, etc.) can be calculated scienti-
cally, and must therefore be performed by qualied personnel.
G) It is strictly forbidden to modify and/or repair the device.
H) Avoid exposing the device to heat sources or to contact with chemical substances.
Reduce direct exposure to the sunlight to a minimum, particularly for textile and plastic
devices. At low temperatures and in the presence of moisture can form ice that, on texti-
le devices, can reduce exibility and increase the risk of cutting and abrasion.
I) Make sure that the device has been supplied complete, in its original packaging and
with the manufacturer’s information. It is compulsory for dealers selling products in
countries other than the original destination to check and supply the translation of this
information.
L) All our equipment is tested/inspected piece by piece in accordance with the proce-
dures of the Quality System certied according to the UNI EN ISO 9001 standard. Our
personal protective equipment is certied by the accredited authority indicated in the
equipment’s specic instructions and, if they belong to category III, are also subjected to
production surveillance - in compliance with article 11/B of Directive 89/686/CEE or with
annex V and VIII of regulation 2016/425 - by an authority whose accreditation number
is indicated on the equipment. Warning: laboratory tests, inspections, information
and norms do not always manage to reproduce what actually happens in prac-
tice, and so performance under real usage conditions in a natural environment
can differ, sometimes even considerably. The best information can be gained by
continual practice under the supervision of skilled, expert, qualied individuals.
2 – WORKS AT A HEIGHT
Additional information for protective equipment against falls from a height. For the sake
of safety in case of risk of falls from a height, it is essential to:
- assess the risks and make sure that the whole system, where this device is only a
component, is reliable and safe,
- prepare a rescue plan to deal with any emergencies possibly arising while the device
is being used,
- make sure that the anchoring device or the anchoring point is always positioned as
high up as possible, and that work is done in such way as to reduce potential falls and
relevant heights to a minimum,
- make sure that the devices used are suitable for the purpose and are certied.
Important: in a system for protection against falling from heights, it is obligatory to use
a complete harness in compliance with current regulations.
3 – MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Device maintenance consists of:
- Frequent washing in warm drinking water (30°C), possibly with the addition of neutral
detergent. Rinse and, without spinning, leave it to dry without leaving it in the direct
sunlight.
- Lubricating moving parts (only for metal devices) with silicon-based oil. This operation
is to be performed once the device has dried out, being careful to avoid contact with
textile components.
In addition, if necessary:
- disinfect the device, soaking it in warm water containing 1% of sodium hypochlorite
(bleach). Rinse with drinking water and, without spinning, leave it to dry without leaving
it in the direct sunlight. Avoid sterilising textile devices in an autoclave.
Storage: store the devices in a dry (40-90% relative humidity), fresh (temperature
5-30°C) and dark place, chemically neutral (absolutely avoid salty and/or acid environ-
ments), away from sharp edges, corrosive substances or other possible detrimental
conditions.
4 – CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS
We would strongly advise having checks before and after use, carried out by qualied
individuals, as indicated in the instructions for the specic equipment. Except in the case
of more stringent legal requirements, inspections on category III equipment must be
carried out by a competent person - therefore one trained and authorised by the manu-
facturer - every year starting from rst use. The outcome of these periodic inspections
must be recorded on the equipment’s inspection chart or in a designated register.
5 – DEVICE LIFE
Lifetime of metallic equipment is indenable, theoretically unlimited, while those in tex-
tile, synthetic or plastic is 10 years from the date of production, under the following
conditions:
- the operating procedures comply with point 1C,
- maintenance and storage are carried out as described in point 3,
- the outcomes of pre- and post-use checks and routine inspections are positive,
- the equipment is used correctly, not exceeding ¼ of the marked load.
Any equipment that do not pass the pre-use, post-use and periodic inspections must
be discarded.
6 – LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
Professional and recreational activities are often regulated by specic national laws that
may impose specic limits and/or requirements for the use of PPE and the preparation
of safety systems, which included the PPE in their components. The user is obliged to
know and apply these laws, which may in some cases impose obligations different from
those contained in this information.
7 – GUARANTEE
The manufacturer guarantees that the device complies with regulations in force at the
time of production. The guarantee covering faults is limited to production defects and
raw materials. It does not include wear and tear, oxidation, damages caused by improper
use and/or during competition, incorrect maintenance, transport, conservation, storage,
etc. The guarantee becomes void as soon as the device is modied or tampered with.
The validity corresponds to the legal guarantee of the country where the device was
sold by the manufacturer, with effect from the date of sale. After this period no claim
can be made against the manufacturer. Any request for repair or replacement under
this warranty must be accompanied by a proof of purchase. If the defect is accepted,
the manufacturer, at its sole discretion, will repair, replace or refund the device. Under
no circumstances does the manufacturer’s liability extend beyond the invoice price of
the device.

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
A) Users must read and perfectly understand the information provided by the
manufacturer (hereinafter ‘information) before using the device. Warning:
- this information relates to the characteristics, services, assembly, di-
sassembly, maintenance, conservation, disinfection, etc. of the device.
Although it does include some suggestions on how to use the device, it
must not be considered a true to life instruction manual the same as an
operating and maintenance handbook for a car does not teach how to dri-
ve it and does not replace a driving school);
- climbing rocks and ice, abseiling, via ferrata, speleology, alpine skiing,
canyoning, exploration, rescue work, tree climbing and works at height
are all activities with a high degree of risk, which may lead to accidents
and even death. The user takes complete responsibility for the risks deri-
ving from these activities and from using our device;
- this device must be used only by individuals medically t that have been
trained (and educated) in its use, or under the direct control of instructors/
supervisors who can guarantee their safety.
B) Before and after using the device, the user must perform all the inspections
described in the specic information and, in particular, must make sure that the
device is:
- in perfect condition and working well,
- suitable for use: only the techniques that are not crossed out are permitted, any
other use is considered improper and therefore potentially dangerous.
C) If the user has the slightest doubt concerning the efciency of the device, it
must be replaced immediately, particularly after having used it to stop a fall. Im-
proper use, deformation, falls, wear, chemical contamination, exposure to tem-
peratures below -30°C or higher than +50°C for the textile/plastic components/
devices, and +100°C for metal devices, are some examples of other causes
that may reduce, limit or end the life of the device. We strongly suggest using
the device personally in order to continuously monitor the degree of protection
and efciency.
D) This equipment can be used in combination with other devices when they are
compatible with the relevant information provided by the manufacturers.
E) The anchoring position is essential for safely stopping a fall: carefully assess
the free height under the user (clearance), height of a potential fall, rope paid
out, the stretch in any energy dissipaters or absorbers, the height of the user
and the “pendulum” effect in order to avoid all possible problems (e.g. ground,
material rubbing against the rock face, abrasions, etc..).
F) Minimum resistance of anchoring points, on both natural and articial ele-
ments, must be at least 12 kN. The assessment of those made on natural ele-
ments (rocks, plants, etc.) is possible only empirically, and must therefore be
performed by a competent expert, while those on articial elements (metal, con-
crete, etc.) can be calculated scientically, and must therefore be performed by
qualied personnel.
G) It is strictly forbidden to modify and/or repair the device.
H) Avoid exposing the device to heat sources or to contact with chemical sub-
stances. Reduce direct exposure to the sunlight to a minimum, particularly for
textile and plastic devices. At low temperatures and in the presence of moisture
can form ice that, on textile devices, can reduce exibility and increase the risk
of cutting and abrasion.
I) Make sure that the device has been supplied complete, in its original packa-
ging and with the manufacturer’s information. It is compulsory for dealers selling
products in countries other than the original destination to check and supply the
translation of this information.
L) All our equipment is tested/inspected piece by piece in accordance with
the procedures of the Quality System certied according to the UNI EN ISO
9001 standard. Our personal protective equipment is certied by the accredited
authority indicated in the equipment’s specic instructions and, if they belong
to category III, are also subjected to production surveillance - in compliance
with article 11/B of Directive 89/686/CEE or with annex V and VIII of regula-
tion 2016/425 - by an authority whose accreditation number is indicated on the
equipment. Warning: laboratory tests, inspections, information and norms
do not always manage to reproduce what actually happens in practice,
and so performance under real usage conditions in a natural environment
can differ, sometimes even considerably. The best information can be gai-
ned by continual practice under the supervision of skilled, expert, quali-
ed individuals.
