NOMENCLATURE (#1):
1 - Self-refracting fall arrester compliant with EN360.
2 - Rescue lifting crank.
3 - Detachable handle.
4 - Button for activating the winch function.
5 - Integrated lifting support.
WARNINGS :
- The integrated lifting function of the device is intended only
for rescuing workers. It is strictly prohibited to use this device
for lifting loads.
- The user must read and understand the instructions of the
supplementary instruction manuals DEX ARA 01-M for use as
fall arrest PPE, according to EN 360.
- During rescue operations by lifting, ensure that there is a
permanent direct or indirect visual contact or other means of
communication with the person being rescued throughout the
operation.
- The rescue device must not be used unless the person to be
rescued can be lifted without any interference. It must not be
used if there are any obstacles representing a danger.
DESCRIPTION :
Self-retracting fall arrester device with an integrated rescue
device in case of emergency. This device, combined with the
NEOFEU tripod, has been specially designed to access confined
vertical spaces (silos, sewers, wells, tanks, etc.). The lifting
support comprising a cable is an essential part of the rescue
device. The cable connected to the harness automatically
follows the user's movements. If the user falls, it instantly locks
and prevents him from falling.
The minimum and maximum weights allowed are 30 kg
and 140 kg respectively.
USE :
- A fall arrester harness EN361 must be used to hold the body in
addition to the rescue lifting device.
- The rescue lifting device must be connected to the dorsal
part of the harness, or at the end of the extension strap, if
present, or at the two sternal rings simultaneously. These points
are identified by the letter A (single hanging points) or A/2
(obligatory to attach both these points).
- The rescue lifting device can be used when the integrated
lifting support is vertically placed.
- In a case where the user needs to be rescued, you must:
1 - Remove the plastic protector (#2-A / #2-B)
2 - Activate the rescue function EN1496 of the equipment (#2-
C). For this, gently pull the button (#1-4) and turn it a quarter-
turn in the anti-clockwise direction. The button is retracted
towards the interior. The winch function is then activated.
3 - Release the black handle and attach it to the crank. To lift

the user, turn this anti-clockwise ("Click Click" indicates the
upwards direction) (#2-D). If the lifting is paused, an automatic
brake ensures that the user is locked at his current position.
Reminder : While using the fall arrester, the black handle must
not be installed on the crank.
4 - Once the user is rescued and safe on the ground, you may
release the handle from the crank.
5 - To reset the fall arrester function EN360 (#2-E) of the device,
pull the button (#1-4) and turn it a quarter-turn in the clockwise
direction.
6 - After rescue, it is necessary to return the fall arrester to the
manufacturer or to an approved centre for inspection.
WARNING: ONCE THE PERSON IS ON THE GROUND, IT
IS PROHIBITED TO UNWIND THE CABLE. DO NOT USE
THE RESCUE WINCH WITHOUT ANY LOAD AT RISK OF
DAMAGING THE MECHANISM.
