This <strong>Magazine</strong> features an important part of the products and services<br />
we provide in the field of ACCESS. It is however impossible to cover all<br />
topics and information in this issue. Check www.tags.systems for a full<br />
overview, the latest information on products.<br />
HOW SIMPLE...?<br />
Push the projectile in the barrel. Put safety catch on. The<br />
safety catch puts a <strong>10</strong>0% mechanical lock on the projectile<br />
and locks the trigger also. Rest assured we made it very<br />
reliable. Open the main valve to pressurize the pressure<br />
chamber (have a look at the gauge and pressurize depending<br />
on the height needed). Then aim, release the safety<br />
catch off and pull the trigger. Thats all...<br />
PROJECTILE OPTIONS<br />
The Compact Launcher can be used to deploy a<br />
climbing rope, flexible ladder or towing line (to get<br />
a line from building to building, ship to ship/shore,<br />
over a canyon, etc.). There are two grapnel options<br />
available. Choose the right option based on your<br />
pre-operational intelligence. The SF Kit includes<br />
both Grapnels and a Messenger Line Projectile.<br />
EXTERNAL GRAPNEL<br />
The External Grapnel is the first choise for edges<br />
and round bars. The projectile seals the barrel<br />
watertight so in diving operations the shot can be<br />
taken immediately when surfacing.<br />
Pressure setting. Up to five shots with one air bottle<br />
After a shot you can immediately re-start the process; just<br />
put another projectile in and shoot again. Depending on the<br />
pressure setting it is possible to fire 3-5 projectiles without<br />
the need to exchange the 500cc air bottle. No shot fired?<br />
Make sure the safety catch is on and release the air from<br />
the pressure chamber using the release valve. Remaining<br />
bottle pressure can be measured with a seperate bottle<br />
pressure tester (included in all SF Kits).<br />
The air bottle is fitted with an automatic valve and can be<br />
exchanged very easily in the field as well. Bottles can be<br />
filled using any scuba diving tank or scuba compressor.<br />
The filling assembly fits both 200bar/2900psi INT or DIN<br />
and 300bar/4350psi DIN systems).<br />

FOLDING GRAPNEL<br />
The Folding Grapnel works best on (fishing-) nets,<br />
cables and (wire-) ropes. This grapnel almost completely<br />
dissapears inside the barrel making it very<br />
compact.<br />
