Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Edelrid Switch Pro Y-Static suitable for via ferrata?
This professional lanyard is designed strictly for work positioning and self-belaying in industrial or adventure settings. You must never use this set for via ferrata applications as it lacks a shock absorber. Using it incorrectly can lead to dangerous impact forces during a fall.
What certifications does this lanyard carry for safety compliance?
This hardware meets both EN 354 and EN 795 Type B standards for professional use. These ratings confirm the lanyard is safe for use as a connector and a temporary anchor point. Professional operators can trust the compliance of this gear for workplace safety audits.
How does the Thermo Shield treatment benefit commercial operations?
Thermo Shield is a heat-treatment process that aligns the core and sheath fibers for perfect balance. This treatment ensures the rope stays flexible and easy to handle throughout its entire service life. It significantly reduces the risk of the lanyard becoming brittle or difficult to use.
Can I easily inspect the safety stitching on this lanyard?
Yes, the lanyard features a transparent plastic sleeve over the critical structural stitching. This allows safety officers to perform visual inspections quickly without removing any protective covers. Clear visibility ensures that any damage to the load-bearing threads is caught immediately.
How do I attach the lanyard to a professional harness?
You should attach this device to your harness using a standard cow hitch knot. This method provides a secure and direct connection to the central attachment point of the harness. Always verify the knot is dressed correctly before beginning any work at height.
