The Edelrid Smart Belay X is an advanced communicating carabiner system engineered with magnetic locking technology for high-traffic adventure parks. This system ensures constant attachment to the safety line while eliminating the need for separate trolleys on zip lines.
We offer two advanced smart belay systems for our climbing park layouts: the innovative Edelrid Smart Belay X and the LockD Clip system. Both are designed with the latest safety technology, providing top-tier protection for climbers.
Modular Longevity and Operational Efficiency
The Edelrid Smart Belay X is designed to enhance profitability by reducing safety briefing times and gear handling requirements. Its modular construction allows key components, such as the pilot bar and lanyards, to be replaced in the field. This serviceability ensures an extended product lifespan and a higher return on investment for park operators.
Advanced Magnetic Safety Technology
At the core of the Edelrid Smart Belay X is a magnetic safety lock that utilizes sensors to detect a steel cable’s signature before releasing the gate. The interconnected carabiners communicate mechanically; if one is open, the other is automatically blocked. This redundant safety layer ensures that visitors cannot be completely detached from the lifeline without specialized tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What cable diameters can be used with the Edelrid Smart Belay X? The system is certified for use on steel cables between 10 mm and 13 mm (0.39 – 0.51 in). This allows for seamless integration into most existing ropes course infrastructures.
Does the Edelrid Smart Belay X require separate gear for zip lines? No. The carabiners include integrated steel pulleys that allow them to function as a trolley. This speeds up customer flow by removing the need to switch gear during transitions.
How does the magnetic locking feature work? The device detects the magnetic signature of the steel cable and will physically not unlock unless it is in direct contact with the safety line. This effectively prevents "air clipping" or accidental disconnections.
Is the Edelrid Smart Belay X suitable for children? Yes. The system is highly intuitive and easy to operate even for younger participants. The integrated Pilot Bar also provides extra support and helps prevent hands from touching the cable.
What are the primary certifications for this system? The device is fully certified to EN 17109 Class D, the highest safety standard for individual ropes course belay systems, and is compatible with EN 15567 park designs.
