The D1 Descender is the fourth in the range of D-Series specialist Descenders. The D1PRO Descender utilises our patented D-Series progressive cam technology and specifically designed ø6mm (1/4") rope, to achieve genuine one-handed descent control, with performance characteristics comparable with those of an ø11mm (7/16") rope Descender device!
The D1PRO Descender is a compact, lightweight device, which can be stored in the user's harness and efficiently deployed, as required. The D1PRO Descender is an auto-stop device (descent ceases when the user releases the control handle). The absence of a panic brake on this 'PRO' model, allows the user the freedom to descend, without accidental activation of the panic brake. This can be useful on longer, faster descents and in emergency situations when an efficient, uninterrupted descent is particularly important.
The D1PRO ESCAPE (KT851) has a rated load of 140kg (308lbs) and is certified to EN341-D*.
The D1PRO ESCAPE (KT851) has design features which are suited to emergency escape/egress applications. The D1PRO ESCAPE has a single friction mode, in order to provide a Descender which is simple to use, yet still offers genuine one-handed operation, up to maximum load. The D1PRO ESCAPE Descender has additional safety features built in. The Descender has an anti-tamper closure and locking screw. This means that the rope cannot be accidentally removed from the device and re-installed incorrectly. This gives further peace of mind that the device is ready to use in an emergency situation.
Accessories
D1PRO Descender Kits are available with three mid-line attachable components, which can be easily configured in order to transition between descent, ascent and hauling. The D1PRO Accessories offer a versatile, super-compact and lightweight rescue solution to users, who can carry the kit on their harness, ready to be quickly and efficiently deployed as required.
A1 Ascender & C1 Combination Pulley
The A1 Ascender is an extremely compact, mid-line attachable device. The squeeze-style cam, allows for smooth, ergonomic adjustment. The attachment hole of the A1 Ascender accepts a Karabiner Connection (for use as part of a hauling/ascent system). Alternatively, the C1 Combination Pulley can be clipped directly in to the attachment hole of the A1 Ascender (without the need for a Karabiner/connector).
The C1 Combination Pulley has an attachment bollard (rather than an attachment hole) and a swing-cheek which is fitted with a spring-loaded closure mechanism. The profile of the bollard also allows for Karabiner connection. The attachment bollard profile features a central groove which is designed to centralise the Karabiner connector, keeping the pulley system balanced. The Pulley is fitted with a super lightweight Acetal wheel.
Micro Accessory Pulley
The Micro Accessory Pulley is an extremely compact (53 x 31mm / 2 1/16 x 1 1/4") pulley with a strength rating of 25kN (5620lbf). The Micro Accessory Pulley has swing-cheeks, with an Acetal wheel and an attachment hole which is suitable for a standard Karabiner connection.
KH221SS Aluminium Oval Karabiner
The KH221 features a newly designed narrower spine, allowing for full rotation when connected to other elements in a system.
Rope Options
Our design team took an holistic approach to the design of the D1PRO Descender kit and developed the descender cam in unison with two specifically designed ropes:
ISC QUADRA
ISC QUADRA rope has a unique four-strand Nylon core, which is protected by a highly heat resistant Technora Sheath. Technora decomposes at 498°c (930°F), with a Nylon core which is resistant to melting, up to 215-221°c (419-430°F). The Quad-core construction of this unique rope provides perfect support to the device cam and optimally balanced firm, yet flexible, performance, with twist minimising qualities. ISC QUADRA rope offers superior performance and handling of the D1PRO Descender and accessories.
ISC ESCAPE6
ISC ESCAPE6 is a full Technora Rope, with ultimate heat-resistant properties. Technora decomposes at 498°c (930°F) and therefore ISC ESCAPE6 should be chosen for applications where there is the risk of extreme heat (burning structures, etc).
D1PRO Kits are suitable for use with ø6mm ISC QUADRA or ISC ESCAPE6 Rope, ONLY.
