The Petzl ASAP Sorber is an energy absorber designed specifically for use with the ASAP or ASAP LOCK mobile fall arresters. It enables users to work at a safe distance from the rope, offering multiple benefits. Firstly, it frees up the work area, allowing for more efficient operations. Secondly, it safeguards the rope from sharp tools and harmful contact points, prolonging the rope's lifespan. In the event of a fall, this absorber steps in to save the day. The tearing of its energy - absorbing webbing limits the impact force on the user, ensuring safety for those weighing between 50 and 130 kg. The durable fabric pouch, with an opening system at each end, not only protects the absorber from abrasion and contaminants but also makes regular inspections a breeze. Both ends are equipped with STRING to hold the connector in place and prevent webbing abrasion. Available in two lengths, 20 cm and 40 cm, it strikes the perfect balance between the distance from the rope and reduced fall length. Crafted from nylon and polyester, it holds certifications like CE EN 355, ANSI Z359.13 6 feet, and EAC. It comes with a 3 - year guarantee for both lengths, weighing 125 g for the 20 - cm version and 145 g for the 40 - cm one.
How to use: First, make sure your ASAP or ASAP LOCK mobile fall arrester is in good condition. Then, connect the Petzl ASAP Sorber to the arrester. You can now work at a distance from the rope, which gives you more space and protects the rope. Remember, this absorber is for users weighing between 50 and 130 kg. Attention: Only use this absorber with an ASAP or ASAP LOCK mobile fall arrester. Don't exceed the weight limit. Maintenance: Check the absorber regularly through the openings in the fabric pouch. Look for any signs of wear, tear, or contamination. Keep the STRING at the ends in good shape to protect the webbing. If you notice any issues, it's time to replace the absorber. And always keep in mind that it comes with a 3 - year guarantee, but proper use and maintenance are key to getting the most out of it.
