Ohm Assisted Braking Resistor (1st gen)

Assisted-braking resistor to increase rope friction when there is a large weight difference between belayer and lead climber. In the event of a fall, the OHM increases the amount of rope friction so that a lighter belayer can hold a heavier lead climber without difficulty.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

•     Belayer requires significantly less hand braking force to arrest a fall
•     Lowering a heavier climber is much easier to control
•     OHM is attached at the first bolt in the safety chain
•     Should a lead climber fall at the first bolt, the OHM significantly reduces the risk of a possible ground fall
•     Rope handling when belaying a lead climber not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope)
•     Recommended weight difference (lead climber > belayer): 10 - 40 kg
•     Minimum weight belayer: 40 kg
•     For single ropes from 8.9 - 11.0 mm

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

•     Approved rope diameter [mm]: 8,9 - 11
•     CE marking: CE 0123
•     country of origin: Germany
•     Weight: 470 g
