Field of application

Emergency personal descent system
including a rope with sewn terminations
(7.5 mm diameter).
This system was developed for the
emergency self-evacuation of a trained
individual in a critical situation, when there
are no other means of escape.
Only persons who have successfully
completed this «evacuation techniques»
training and who have been authorized by
their company can use this equipment.
The training provided by an authorized

how to check, prepare and use the EXO in

We recommend that you perform a practice
descent once a year, using an EXO system
that is reserved for training. During this
practice, you must be backed up by a
separate belay system.
