About: ISC - Keeloc SmartSnap Belay Device
The SmartSnap is a continuous attachment device, a self-belay system which allows the user to traverse all of the individual elements of a course, without ever being able to detach from the safety line. The SmartSnap is simple to use and does not require any in-depth user training. The SmartSnap is lightweight and is suitable for use by children and adults. The SmartSnap system has been designed in such a way that it can easily be retro-fitted to existing courses.
The SmartSnap is designed for use on Ropes Courses, where 100% Attachment is required. The SmartSnap offers 100% attachment through the use of innovative 'Key Lock' mechanisms. To move from one element to another, the user must lock in a second connector, before being able to unlock the first connector.
The SmartSnap has two locking gates which are controlled by a mechanism which only allows one gate to open at any one time. Each course user wears a SmartSnap Device, attached to their harness by a short lanyard. At the beginning of the course, the Supervisor attaches the Blue gate of the SmartSnap to the wire and locks the gate, using the wire-mounted key. The user then travels to the next change-over point, where they clip the Red gate on to the Ring Key lanyard. The user then inserts the spike of the Ring Key into a hole. This action simultaneously locks the Red gate AND unlocks the Blue gate, releasing the user from the previous element, leaving them safely attached to the next element.
This simple and user-friendly device is suitable for frequent use.
