1. Field of application
Personal protective equipment (PPE).
Ventral rope clamp for ascending rope.
- Rope clamp for mountaineering and climbing (EN 567).
- Ascending device for the work rope (EN 12841: 2006 type B).
This product must not be pushed beyond its limits, nor be used for any purpose
other than that for which it is designed.
Responsibility
WARNING
Activities involving the use of this equipment are inherently dangerous.
You are responsible for your own actions, decisions and safety.
Before using this equipment, you must:
- Read and understand all Instructions for Use.
- Get specific training in its proper use.
- Become acquainted with its capabilities and limitations.
- Understand and accept the risks involved.
Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in severe injury or death.
This product must only be used by competent and responsible persons, or those
placed under the direct and visual control of a competent and responsible person.
You are responsible for your actions, your decisions and your safety and you
assume the consequences of same. If you are not able, or not in a position to
assume this responsibility, or if you do not fully understand the Instructions for Use,
do not use this equipment.
2. Nomenclature
(1) Chest strap attachment hole, (2) Cam, (3) Safety catch, (4) Harness attachment
hole, (5) Wear plate (CROLL S only).
Principal materials: aluminum alloy frame, stainless steel cam and wear plate.
3. Inspection, points to verify
Your safety is related to the integrity of your equipment.
Petzl recommends a detailed inspection by a competent person at least once every
12 months (depending on current regulations in your country, and your conditions of
usage). Record the results on your PPE inspection form: type, model, manufacturer
contact info, serial number or individual number, dates: manufacture, purchase,
first use, next periodic inspection; problems, comments, inspector’s name and
signature.
Before each use
On the product, verify the absence of any cracks, deformation, marks, wear,
corrosion...
Check the condition of the frame, the attachment holes, the cam and safety catch,
the springs and the cam axle.
Check the mobility of the cam and the effectiveness of its spring.
Check that the teeth are not fouled.
WARNING: do not use this rope clamp if it has missing or worn-out teeth.
During use
It is important to regularly monitor the condition of the product and its connections
to the other equipment in the system. Make sure that all items of equipment are
correctly positioned with respect to each other.
BEWARE:
- of foreign objects that can impede the operation of the cam,
- of situations where the safety catch can snag and cause the cam to open.
4. Compatibility
Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your
application (compatible = good functional interaction).
Equipment used with your CROLL must meet current standards in your country
(e.g. EN 12275 carabiners).
Connectors
Verify connector/rope clamp compatibility (installation, correct functioning and
assessment of the potential for poor positioning).
5. Function principle and test
It slides along the rope in one direction and locks in the other direction.
The cam’s teeth initiate a clamping action that locks the rope by pinching it between
the cam and the frame. The slot in the cam allows mud to be evacuated.
6. Installation on the harness
Attach the device to the harness by passing a quick link or an OMNI through the
connection hole.
Connect the chest strap to the upper hole, so that the device is held in a vertical
position against the chest.
The CROLL is only to be used when it is connected directly to the harness, without
a lanyard.
Close the CROLL’s cam when not in use, as equipment or other objects can jam in
the rope channel if left open.
7. Installing and removing the rope
Observe the Up/Down indicator.
To remove the rope
Move the device up the rope while opening the safety catch to disengage the cam.
8. Ascending the rope
Use the CROLL with another rope clamp (e.g. BASIC) and a foot loop. Always
attach yourself to the second rope clamp with an appropriate lanyard.
Angled traverse situation
Starting on an angled rope: put a leg over the rope to align it with the CROLL’s
rope channel.
9. Short descent
Slide the device slightly up the rope and simultaneously push the cam with
your index finger. Do not manipulate the safety catch because there is a risk of
accidentally opening the cam.
10. EN 12841 type B - additional information
The CROLL must be used with a type A backup device on a second (safety)
rope.
- The CROLL is not suitable for use in a fall arrest system.
- To meet the requirements of the EN 12841: 2006 type B standard, use 891 type
A low stretch kernmantel ropes: 10-11 mm diameter with CROLL S and 10-13 mm
with CROLL L.
(Note: certification testing was performed using Petzl CLUB 10 mm, Petzl AXIS 11
mm and Teufelberger KM3 13 mm ropes.)
- Use a connector that has a maximum total length of 15 cm (connector that
attaches the CROLL to the harness attachment point).
- Do not allow slack in the rope between the rope adjustment device and the
anchor, in order to reduce the risk of a fall.
When your body weight is on the work rope, make sure that the safety rope is not
loaded.
A dynamic overload can damage the safety rope.
Nominal maximum load: 140 kg.
11. Additional information
- You must have a rescue plan and the means to rapidly implement it in case of
difficulties encountered while using this equipment.
- The anchor point for the system should preferably be located above the user’s
position and should meet the requirements of the EN 795 standard (12 kN minimum
strength).
- In a fall arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance below the user
before each use, in order to avoid hitting the ground or an obstacle in case of a fall.
- Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to limit the risk
and the length of a fall.
- A fall arrest harness is the only device allowable for supporting the body in a fall
arrest system.
- When using multiple items of equipment, a dangerous situation can arise in which
the safety function of an item of equipment can be affected by the safety function of
another item of equipment.
- WARNING - DANGER: take care that your products do not rub against abrasive
or sharp surfaces.
- Users must be medically fit for activities at height. WARNING: inert suspension in a
harness can result in serious injury or death.
- The Instructions for Use for each item of equipment used in conjunction with this
product must be followed.
- The Instructions for Use must be provided to the user of this equipment, in the
language of the country where the equipment is used.
- Make sure the markings on the product are legible.
When to retire your equipment:
WARNING: an exceptional event can lead you to retire a product after only one
use, depending on the type and intensity of usage and the environment of usage
(harsh environments, marine environments, sharp edges, extreme temperatures,
chemicals...).
A product must be retired when:
- It has been subjected to a major fall (or load).
- It fails to pass inspection. You have any doubt as to its reliability.
- You do not know its full usage history.
- When it becomes obsolete due to changes in legislation, standards, technique or
incompatibility with other equipment...
