Introduced at this years Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, Petzl released the new EXO-AP Personal Escape System.
The EXO-AP (model #D30AB 015) is a new and re-designed version of the original EXO (model #D30015 B), which originally hit the fire service in 2006. This new device is lighter in weight and smaller than it’s predecessor.
The “AP” stands for anti-panic, a unique feature that has been engineered into this descending device.
The descender has a self-braking system with anti-panic function for quickly moving horizontally, climbing through a window and controlling and stopping a descent. If the user pulls too hard on the handle, the anti-panic function brakes and stops the descent automatically.
EXO AP HOOK also includes a rope that resists wear and high temperatures, an Am’D connector with CAPTIV positioning bar, as well as an optional bag for transporting and attaching the system directly to the harness.
