CMC's patented 3D locking-bar descender delivers the ultimate in safety, control and performance, in one compact and lightweight device. The 3D features two sliding bars for optimum friction control and efficiency. The horn design works well with 13 mm rope and smaller, making it easy to add or subtract friction as needed throughout the evolution. The frame dimensions allow for larger rescue-sized carabiners to be used without any contact or friction with the rope. The descender can be loaded or unloaded while connected to your harness for rappelling or to an anchor for one- or two-person rescue lowers.

About CMC’s Super Black Finish
The CMC 3D, Rescue Rack, and Rescue 8 products feature an exceptionally long-wear proprietary finish because typical hard or soft anodizing on aluminum descenders eventually wears through. This finish also prevents transfer of material onto the rope, common with bare aluminum components. After years of heavy use, our products and test samples with this Super Black Finish continue to be used in CMC School classes without showing any indication of the finish wearing through.

Designed for Emergency Rappel

In a class by itself, CMC offers the only NFPA Certified Uniform Rappel Belt available. Designed for everyday wear but with the performance needed for an emergency rappel or belay. Standard uniform wear for fire fighters, search and rescue, and SWAT personnel, the belt is constructed to the same exacting standards as our harness line and is the only certified uniform belt available. The belt uses 1-3/4 web that fastens securely without requiring any hook-and-loop material. The AustriAlpin D-ring COBRA buckle is manufactured from 7075aluminum alloy and features a built-in stainless steel D-ring (Buckle:18 kN / 4,000 lbf MBS, D-ring: 22 kN / 5,000 lbf MBS, straight pull). The buckle requires a two finger release and will not open when loaded. Included web keeper secures excess web at tail end of belt. Adjustable, one size fits most.

Note: This belt is not intended as a substitute for a harness.

Specs

Self-braking descender for rope work, the evolution of the SPARROW 200 descender has been developed for high workloads. The improved 200R model features a redesign of the spring-operated braking spur that has been modified so that it orients toward the direction to which the rope is being paid into the device. The advantage of this modification provides even smoother control of decent speed as well as improved handling of the rope. It allows the operator to lower on the working line, to position on the working line and to ascend the same rope. It is ideal in the event of assisted lowering of two people with the device installed at the anchor (the operator lowers the rescuer and the person being rescued) or for simultaneous lowering of two people (rescuer lowers themselves with the injured person).

To be used only with static and semi static ropes – EN 1891 type A – Ø 11mm.

Field of application:

• Rescue descender certified to EN 341:2011-2A, work load limit 200 kg with a maximum descent height of 180 m, only to be used with the TEC STATIC PRO rope – Ø 11 mm;
• Rope adjustment/ descender device certified to EN 12841:2006-C, work load limit 210 kg, only to be used with EN 1891 type A – Ø 11 mm ropes.

Technical Features:

• Equipped with a breaking spur that creates additional friction on the rope, when used during the descent, without the use of an additional connector. The shape of the braking spur has been improved in order to have even more effective control of the rope;
• A multifunctional command lever with an automatic recall system that allows the operator to descend at a controlled speed and stop the descent at the desired point without the need to tie off the device;
• An EBS safety system (Extraordinary Braking System) that is activated if the lever is accidentally fully opened, reducing the speed of descent instead of increasing it;

Equipped with a safety lever on the movable flange that facilitates the insertion of the rope.
