Technical information
The launcher uses compressed air with no subsequent heat, flash or loud explosive noises.
The firing pressure can be set at any pressure up to recommended maximum of 120 bar. There are safety features in place that make it not possible to overcharge the air cylinder or the launcher air chamber.
The launcher is fed from a removable 0.5 litre cylinder and has an internal air chamber of 120 cc. This allows multiple shots per charged cylinder, with up to 5 shots possible depending on the firing pressure selected.
The charging kit included allows the air cylinder to be easily charged from either an air compressor with an “A Clamp” yolk and a pressurised dive cylinder with a DIN fitting. To get the maximum fill of 250 bar in your cylinder it is advisable to use 300 bar dive cylinders or compressors, the pressure release valve in the filling kit will prevent over pressurisation.
Maximum ranges under laboratory test conditions are:
- 3 mm line: up to 120 m distance
- 8 mm rope: up to 45 m distance
- 11 mm rope: up to 35 m distance
- Fibrelight ladder: up to 20 m in height
