• It is essential to assess the reliability and security of the entire
safety system you are relying on: adequate resistance of the
anchors (EN 795) and the structure they are fixed on, their
correct (higher) positioning to arrest a fall and prevent
pendulum effects, correct positioning of the ropes – e.g.
protecting sharp edges or points of rubbing, preventing ill
running of the descender, redundancy, etc. – to tie a stopper
knot at the free end of the rope. Any overload or dynamic
loading of the descender may damage the rope.
Figure 4: DESCENT AND SHORT ASCENTS
While loading the system, the user should hold with one hand
the free end of the rope and with the other hand gradually pull
the handle (fig. 4/A). This unblocks the rope and allows for a
controlled descent. The maximum permitted speed of descent
is 2 m/s. By pulling the handle down to its terminal position, the
user will activate the descender's second braking position (anti
panic) and the descent will be stopped instantly. To resume
descending, just return the handle in the closed position (fig. 2),
and restart the process. Use a second braking carabiner to
lower from a fixed position (fig. 4/B). Owing to the construction
of the device there is no need to additionally secure the device
for prevention of accidental uncontrolled descents. For short
ascents install a rope clamp in the working end of the rope
above the descender device. While lifting yourself on the rope
clamp, pull the free end of the rope exiting TC007. Never allow
any slack between the rope clamp and the descender device
(fig. 4/C).
Figure 5: ACCOMPANIED DESCENT
This method of evacuation may only be adopted by rescuers
specifically trained in this technique. No impact loading is
tolerated. The rescuer fastens the descender to his harness
and connects the injured person by means of an additional
lanyard. There is no need of a redirectional carabiner for the
free end of the rope. For all rescue manoeuvres the use of
gloves, however, is warmly recommended. The rescuer and the
injured person must be secured with an additional
independently anchored safety line.
WARNING: With speeds above 1 m/s during rescue
