Climbing with the ascender
The PowerQuick 500-1Ascender features a trigger release, a two-position trigger and an up/down lever.
1. Move the up/down lever to the correct position by pulling the release pin and moving the lever. (Figure 10)
2. Place your hand inside the handle with you palm against the trigger release. The default position with the trigger
release open is the brake. Any time the trigger is released the brake is engaged.
3. Press firmly on the trigger release with the palm of your hand.
4. Squeeze firmly on the trigger. You will go up or down depending on the position of the up/down lever.
5. To stop simply release the trigger and the ascender will hold on the rope for working.
6. If the battery begins to loose power during ascent, simply switch to descend. The unit uses so little power on
descent that it is virtually impossible to be “stranded on the rope from loss of battery charge.
The unit can be stopped at any location on the rope and the direction changed
.

Remote Control
The PowerQuick ascender is equipped with a wireless
remote control. The Transmitter and receive is certified for
FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada RSP-100 compliance.
The 433.92MHz version has also been tested for CE
compliance for use in the European Union.
1. Depending on the configuration, some units
may have an external antenna while others
may have an internal antenna. If your unit
has an external antenna fixture attach the
antenna as shown in Figure 14.
2. The Remote Control transmitter is keyed to a
specific ascender. They are
numbered as pairs. Make sure
the number printed on the
Remote Control matches the
Serial number on the ascender.
Only the appropriate ascender
can be used with the Remote. If a
remote control receiver is
damaged or lost We can provide
a replacement and instructions to
set the remote. This requires
removing the electronics package
so should be conducted by an
authorized service center unless
the user is experienced in
working with electronics.
3. The transmitter has five buttons
—
ON/OFF, UP/ DOWN and CMD
(Command). ON turns on the
remote control allowing it to
communicate with the ascender.
