8.6.2 OTHER CONFIGURATIONS
The zipSTOP Brake assembly may be used with other zip line configurations and higher rider velocities. Con-
figurations shown are based on a single line zip line. Dual zip lines and side-by-side configurations may also
be accommodated. Please contact your zipSTOP Distributor for information on alternate set-ups.
When higher Redirection Ratios (3:1 and higher) are employed (for model ZS125-08 only), retraction force is
reduced and a manual reset of the Brake Trolley will be necessary.
Pictures in this manual are for reference purposes in terms of geometry and proposed redirection setup
configuration only. Mandated EAD may or may not be shown.
Some examples of alternative configurations are shown below:
Beam Mounted Pulley - 2:1 Redirection Ratio
8.7 Zip Line Slope
Three zip line configurations at the end of the line are possible: flat line, positive line slope and a negative line
slope. The slope of the line will influence the braking distances as well as allowing the rider to roll slowly up or
down the line once decelerated.

Offset Redirection Pulley – 1:1 Redirection Ratio
NOTE: Offset redirection pulleys should only be used with highly
tensioned zip lines. Slack zip lines may cause binding and excessive
wear on the brake trolley.
