expected from personal protective equipment in
accordance with the .European Regulation (EU) 2016/425
SAFETY MEASURES AND WARNINGS
a) There are innumerable and even unimaginable possible
modes of use of this device. Only techniques shown in the
figures that are not crossed out or displaying a skull are
recommended and covered by the warranty.
b) This product must be used exclusively by adequately skilled
persons, otherwise the user must be constantly supervised
by trained personnel, who must guarantee for the safety.
This includes liability against damages, injuries and death
incurredby improper use or misuse of the equipment.
c) This product may be used combined with personal
protective equipment conforming to the European
Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and compatibly with the relevant
information.
d) In work at a height the foreman must ensure proper
management and planning (including risk assessment and
rescue plan) of the work being performed.
e) The lifetime of this product will be extended if it is used with
care. In particular, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces
and/or sharp edges.
f) The primary functions of TC007 are progression along a
working line, positioning, restraint and belaying. If not
marked accordingly it is not suitable for use in a fall arrest
system. It may be necessary to supplement arrangements
with collective or personal means of protection against falls
from a height. When used in accordance with EN 12841 it
must always be used in conjunction with a fall-arrest device
on an independent safety line.
g) The braking action of the device and thus your safety may be
considerably reduced if the device or the rope is dirty, oily,

muddy or icy.
h) Prolonged use in salty environments (e.g. sea cliffs) may
affect the performance of the product.
i) Do not expose the device to significant heat or cold (see
work and stock temperature).
j) Avoid any contact with chemical reagents as they may affect
the performance of this product. Contact the producer if in
doubt.
k) This device is not tested for use in explosive atmospheres.
l) The descender device should never be left in place
(specifically o utdoors), e .g. a t a workstation, because of the
weathering d eterioration o f the rope.
FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
Figure 1: INSTALLATION OF THE ROPE
To install the descender on the rope, press the opening button
and simultaneously slide the housing sides apart. The working
end of the rope exits the device close to the axle around which
the housing sides rotate (consult the sketch on the housing for
help). Lead the rope around the cam so that the free end of the
rope exits the device between both camming elements. Slide
the housing sides back together. The device is only closed
properly once the opening button locks the top housing side
and is fully released. The TC007 used as a descender can
either be attached to a harness concordant with either EN 361,
EN 813 or EN 12277 (fig. 4/A – the operator slides with the
descender along the rope) or it can be fastened to an anchor
(fig. 4/B – the rope slides through the non-moving descender).
WARNING: If the rope is not inserted correctly the locking
mechanism does not work.
Figure 2: FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLES
Figure 3: OPERATIONAL CHECK
• Check that the sides of the housing cannot be slid apart and
the closing button is fully released (the device is closed
correctly).
• Check whether the rope is inserted correctly (according to the
sketch on the housing).
• Before each use, carry out an operational check of the device
by test-loading it with your body weight while secured by other

means.
• 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

operations, the descender may get hot enough to damage the
line.
Figure 6: RIGGING FOR RESCUE
Double rope length should be employed.
Figure 7: HAULING AND PROGRESS CAPTURE
SYSTEMS
Hauling from a fixed position with TC007 is easiest done either
with a 1:1 counterweight or for heavier loads by means of a 3:1
mechanical advantage pulley system (fig.7). Ergonomically
easier pulling from above may be attained by employing
another redirectional pulley on the free end of the rope.
Transition from ascent do descent is done by removing the
pulley system, clipping the rope in a redirectional carabiner
above the TC007 and starting to lower (fig. 4/B).
Figure 8: WORK ON WIND TURBINES
Use two TC007 as a descender devices and a positioning
device around the blade.

SLOVENŠČINA
SKRBNO PREUČITE IN
UPOŠTEVAJTE TA NAVODILA!
Ta naprava je zasnovana za zagotavljanje ravni varnosti, ki
jo je mogoče pričakovati od osebne varovalne opreme v
skladu z Evropsko uredbo (EU) 2016/425.
VARNOSTNI UKREPI IN OPOZORILA
a) Ta naprava se lahko uporablja na več načinov; nekateri med
njimi so celo nepredstavljivi. Priporočljive tehnike na slikah,
za katere velja garancija, so samo tiste, ki niso prekrižane in
ob katerih ni prikazan simbol lobanje.
b) Ta izdelek lahko uporabljajo izključno ustrezno usposobljene
osebe. Sicer mora biti uporabnik pod stalnim nadzorom
usposobljenega osebja, ki mora zagotoviti varnost. To
vključuje odgovornost v zvezi s škodo, poškodbami in smrtjo
zaradi nepravilne uporabe ali zlorabe opreme.
c) Ta izdelek se lahko uporablja skupaj z osebno varovalno
opremo, ki ustreza Evropski uredbi (EU) 2016/425, in
skladno z ustreznimi informacijami.
d) Pri delu na višini mora delovodja zagotoviti ustrezno vodenje
in načrtovanje dela, ki se opravlja, vključno z oceno tveganja
in načrtom za reševanje.
e) Če boste izdelek uporabljali skrbno, boste podaljšali njegovo
življenjsko dobo. Še posebej bodite pozorni, da preprečite
drgnjenje ob abrazivne površine in/ali ostre robove.
f) TC007 primarne funkcije obsegajo pomikanje vzdolž
delovne vrvi, pozicioniranje, sidranje in varovanje. Če nima
ustrezne oznake, ni primeren za uporabo s sistemom za
zaustavitev padca. Po potrebi se mora dodatno uporabiti še
mehanizem za skupinsko ali osebno v a r o v a n j e p r e d
padcem z višine. Kadar se TC007 uporablja v skladu s
standardom EN 12841, se mora vedno uporabljati skupaj z
napravo za zaustavljanje padca, nameščeno na samostojni
varnostni vrvi.
g) Če je naprava ali vrv umazana, mastna, blatna ali
zaledenela, bosta zaviranje naprave in varnost bistveno

zmanjšana.
h) Dolgotrajnejša uporaba v slanih okoljih (npr. na obmorskih
klifih) lahko poslabša delovanje izdelka.
i) Naprave ne izpostavljajte močni vročini ali mrazu (glejte
delovno temperaturo in temperaturo shranjevanja).
j) Preprečite stik naprave s kemičnimi reagenti, saj lahko ti
poslabšajo njeno delovanje. Če imate kakršno koli
vprašanje, se obrnite na proizvajalca.
k) Ta naprava ni bila preizkušena za varno uporabo v
eksplozivnih atmosferah.
l) Zavorne naprave nikoli ne pustite na mestu uporabe (še
zlasti na prostem), saj lahko vremenski vplivi poslabšajo
kakovost vrvi.
NAČELA DELOVANJA
Slika 1: NAMESTITEV VRVI
Za namestitev zavore na vrv pritisnite gumb za odpiranje in
istočasno povlecite narazen stranici ohišja. Obremenjeni
konec vrvi izstopi iz naprave blizu osi, okoli katere se vrtita
stranici ohišja (pomagajte si s skico ohišja). Vrv napeljite okrog
čeljusti, tako da prosti konec vrvi izstopi iz naprave med
čeljustjo in naslonom. Stranici ohišja ponovno povlecite skupaj.
Naprava je ustrezno zaprta šele, ko gumb za odpiranje
zablokira zgornjo stranico ohišja in je do konca sproščen.
TC007 lahko kot zavoro namestite na varovalni pas v skladu s
standardi EN 361, EN 813 ali EN 12277 (slika 4/A – upravljavec
drsi po vrvi skupaj z zavoro) ali pa jo pritrdite na sidrišče (slika
4/B – vrv drsi skozi nepremično zavoro).
OPOZORILO: Če vrv ni pravilno vstavljena, zaklepni
mehanizem ne deluje.
Slika 2: NAČELA DELOVANJA
Slika 3: PREVERJANJE DELOVANJA
• Preverite, če stranici ohišja ne moreta zdrsniti narazen in če
je gumb za odpiranje do konca sproščen (naprava je
pravilno zaprta).
• Preverite, ali je vrv pravilno vstavljena (kot na skici ohišja).
• Pred vsako uporabo preverite delovanje naprave, tako da
izvedete preizkusno obremenitev s svojo telesno težo, pri
čemer ste zavarovani pred padcem na drug način.

• Oceniti je treba zanesljivost in varnost celotnega
varnostnega sistema, na katerega se zanašate: primerna
nosilnost sidrišč (EN 795) in strukture, na katero so pritrjena,
njihov pravilni (višji) položaj za zaustavljanje padcev in
preprečevanje nihajev, pravilen položaj vrvi (npr. zaščita
ostrih robov ali točk pred drgnjenjem, preprečevanje
slabega delovanja zavore, redundanca itd.) in varovalni
vozel na prostem koncu vrvi. Vsakršna preobremenitev ali
dinamična obremenitev zavore lahko poškoduje vrv.
Slika 4: SPUST IN KRAJŠI VZPONI
Med obremenitvijo sistema mora uporabnik z eno roko držati
prosti konec vrvi, z drugo pa postopoma vleči ročico (slika 4/A).
Tako boste sprostili vrv in omogočili nadzorovan spust. Najvišja
dovoljena hitrost spusta je 2 m/s. Če uporabnik potegne ročico
navzdol do končnega položaja, aktivira drugi (anti-panic)
položaj za ustavitev zavore in spust se v trenutku ustavi. Za
nadaljevanje spuščanja ročico samo vrnite v zaprti položaj
(slika 2) in ponovno začnite postopek. Za spuščanje s sidrišča
uporabite dodatno preusmeritveno vponko (slika 4/B). Zavora
je zasnovana tako, da dodatno zavarovanje naprave za
preprečitev nenamernih nenadzorovanih spustov ni potrebno.
Za krajše vzpone na obremenjeni konec vrvi nad zavoro
namestite ročno prižemo ali drugo podobno napravo. Medtem
ko se dvigate na ročni prižemi, vlecite prosti konec vrvi, ki gleda
iz zavore. Vrv med ročno prižemo in zavoro mora biti vseskozi
napeta (slika 4/C).
Slika 5: SPUST S PONESREČENCEM
Ta način evakuacije lahko izvajajo le reševalci, ki so posebej
usposobljeni za to tehniko. Vsakršna dinamična obremenitev ni
dovoljena. Reševalec pritrdi zavoro na svoj varovalni pas in
pripne ponesrečenca z dodatno ustrezno povezavo.
Preusmeritvena vponka za prosti konec vrvi ni potrebna, se pa
za vse reševalne manevre toplo priporoča uporaba rokavic.
Reševalec in poškodovana oseba morata biti zavarovana z
dodatno varovalno vrvjo, ki je pritrjena v samostojno sidrišče.
OPOZORILO: Pri hitrostih med reševanjem, ki presegajo 1
m/s, se lahko zavora tako segreje, da povzroči poškodbe na
vrvi.

Slika 6: OPREMLJANJE ZA PRIMER REŠEVANJA
Uporabite dvojno dolžno vrvi.
Slika 7: ŠKRIPČEVJA
Dviganje bremen iz nepremičnega položaja se z TC007
najlažje izvaja s sistemom protiteže v razmerju 1 : 1, pri težjih
bremenih pa s škripčevjem v razmerju 3 : 1 (slika 7).
Z ergonomskega vidika je dviganje od zgoraj lažje. V ta namen
uporabite dodatni preusmeritveni škripec na prostem koncu
vrvi. Za prehod iz vzpenjanja v spuščanje odstranite škripčevje,
vpnite vrv v preusmeritveno vponko nad TC007 in začnite
spuščati (slika 4/B).
Slika 8: DELO NA VETRNIH TURBINAH
Uporabite dva TC007 kot vrvni zavori in pozicijsko napravo za
okrog elise.
SPLOŠNE INFORMACIJE
Redno pregledovanje
Če na napravi opazite znake obrabe oz. po padcu z velike
višine ali močnem udarcu, napravo brez odlašanja zavrzite, saj
lahko pri tem pride do notranjih ali nevidnih okvar, ki lahko
občutno poslabšajo njeno nosilnost. Če niste prepričani,
ravnajte z napravo, kot da je poškodovana, ali pa se posvetujte
s podjetjem DELTA PLUS GROUP.
