The idea of the GOTCHA™ is to provide a rescue kit that will
enable a rescuer to:
- Attach a casualty who is suspended by a fall arrest
lanyard.
- Raise the casualty in order to release their current
attachment.
- Raise or lower the casualty to a point of safety.
The above capabilities are all achievable without the need
for the rescuer to access the casualty. In order to carry out
this therescuer must be able to access the point at which the
casualty anchored their lanyard. The control feature of the
rescue kitlocks automatically if released.
The GOTCHA™ will be used in two different modes
depending upon whether the anchor point is at the rescuers
foot level orabove (ideally 1.5m above to have any material
effect), as this has important effects.
If the anchor is at foot level then the system will not be able
to raise the casualty sufficiently to bring them back to their
startpoint. The casualty must be raised in order to release
their lanyard then lowered to safety. Also the rescuer is
required to usetheir strength when raising the casualty, so
the mechanical advantage is greater (4:1).
If the anchor is 1.5m above foot level, preferably at head
height it will be possible to raise the casualty to their start
point. Forthis the rescuer is able to use their weight to assist
in the operation and therefore the mechanical advantage is
lower (3:1).

Keep these instructions, or a copy with the GOTCHA™ to aid
future inspection, and examination.
The equipment must be given a visual and tactile inspection
when delivered to site/works, and before every use.
SpanSet recommends recorded inspection by a competent
person every 6 months.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:-
Metal-ware – Inspect for signs of damage/distortion/
corrosion, and correct operation & locking of connectors.
Rope* – Examine for any signs of wear/ abrasion, including
interstrand wear, unravelling, extension and fusion.
* Local abrasion as distinct from general wear may be
caused by the passage of the rope over sharp edges or
protrusions whileunder tension and may cause serious loss
of strength. Slight damage to outer fibres and occasional
yarn may be consideredharmless but any reduction in
diameter of the rope or serious distortion to the sheath
pattern should lead to rejection.
All Personal Protective Equipment should be immediately
removed from service after being subjected to any shock, or
there isany doubt about its condition. (See list above)
The GOTCHA™ may be cleaned if required. The following
procedure mustbe adhered to. Use a mild detergent with
hand hot water, using a cloth, or sponge to wipe the
GOTCHA™ and avoid over wetting. This procedure should
then be repeated withclean water to rinse, then allow to dry
naturally away from any direct heat source. If you require
more information pleasecontact SpanSet.
All equipment should be stored and transported in the
following manner:
• To prevent contact with sharp objects.
• Away from harmful substances.
• In a cool dry place free from direct sunlight.

Gotcha Distanz-
Rettungsvorrichtung
Die Idee des GOTCHA™ ist eine Rettungsvorrichtung, die
dem Retter ermöglicht:
- Einen Verunglückten zu sichern, der an einer
Fallsicherungsleine hängt.
- Den Verunglückten zu heben und ihn vom ursprünglichen
Gurt zu befreien.
- Einen Verunglückten an einer höher oder tiefer gelegenen
Stelle in Sicherheit zu bringen.
Die oben genannten Möglichkeiten sind alle nutzbar, ohne
dass der Retter in der Lage sein müsste, zum Verunglückten
zu gelangen. Der Retter muss nur imstande sein, den Punkt
zu erreichen, an dem der Verunglückte seine Leine verankert
hat. Das Sperrelement der Rettungsvorrichtung verriegelt
sich beim versehentlichen Auslösen automatisch.
Der GOTCHA™ kann zweifach eingesetzt werden: je
nachdem, ob der Ankerpunkt sich auf Bodenhöhe des Retters
befindet oder über ihm(idealerweise 1,5 m über ihm, um die
Wirkung voll zu entfalten). Es gibt hier wichtige Unterschiede.
Bei einem Anker auf Bodenhöhe des Retters kann die
Vorrichtung den Verunglückten nicht hoch genug anheben,
um ihn zumAusgangspunkt zurückzubringen. Der Verunglückte
muss erst angehoben werden, um seine Leine zu lösen und
dann zu einer sicherenStelle abgeseilt werden. Der nötige
Krafteinsatz des Retters beim Anheben des Verunglückten
ergibt eine mechanische Kraftverstärkungvon 4:1.
Bei einem Anker 1,5 m über dem Boden – vorzugsweise
auf Kopfhöhe –ist es möglich, den Verunglückten zu
seinem Ausgangspunkt zurückzubringen. Der Retter kann
den Vorgang mit seinem Gewicht unterstützen, sodass die
mechanische Kraftverstärkung geringer ist(3:1).
The idea of the GOTCHA™ is to provide a rescue kit that will enable a rescuer to:
•Attach a casualty who is suspended by a fall arrest lanyard.
•Raise the casualty in order to release their current attachment.
•Raise or lower the casualty to a point of safety.
The above capabilities are all achievable without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty. In order to carry out this the
rescuer must be able to access the point at which the casualty anchored their lanyard. The control feature of the rescue kit
locks automatically if released.
The GOTCHA™ will be used in two different modes depending upon whether the anchor point is at the rescuers foot level o
r
above (ideally 1.5m above to have any material effect), as this has important effects.
If the anchor is at foot level then the system will not be able to raise the casualty sufficiently to bring them back to their start
point. The casualty must be raised in order to release their lanyard then lowered to safety. Also the rescuer is required to use
their strength when raising the casualty, so the mechanical advantage is greater (4:1).
If the anchor is 1.5m above foot level, preferably at head height it will be possible to raise the casualty to their start point. Fo
r
this the rescuer is able to use their weight to assist in the operation and therefore the mechanical advantage is lower (3:1).

Rettungsvorrichtung
14. Nach der Gewichtsverlagerung des Verunglückten auf
GOTCHA™ kann seine Leine abgenommen werden.
15. Der Verunglückte kann wie folgt abgeseilt werden.
16. Zum Abseilen des Verunglückten muss der Retter das
ausdem GRIGRI austretende Seil fassen und damit das
Abseilenkontrollieren.
17. Mit der anderen Hand wird der schwarze Griff am
GRIGRIgelöst, bis das Seil kontrolliert abgewickelt werden
kann.So wird der Verunglückte abgeseilt. (Bitte den
Hinweisbeachten)
HINWEIS: Zur Durchführung einer Rettung benötigt
der Retter einen Gurt mit einem vorderen Ankerpunkt
für die Befestigung des GRIGRI. Wenn der Ankerpunkt
für GOTCHA™ nur ein Abseilen des Verunglückten
zulässt, muss die Länge des Seils der Vorrichtung
das Vierfache des Abstands vom Anker zur sicheren
Bergungsstelle betragen.
Bewahren Sie diese Anleitungen oder eine Kopie mit dem
GOTCHA™ für zukünftige Prüfungen und Untersuchungen
auf. Die Ausrüstung muss bei der Lieferung an
Arbeitsstellen/Werke sowie vor jedem Einsatz einer
visuellen und taktilen Prüfung unterzogenwerden.
SpanSet empfiehlt alle 6 Monate eine dokumentierte
Inspektion durch einen Spezialisten.
Besondere Aufmerksamkeit ist dabei auf folgendes zu
richten:
Metallteile – Prüfung auf Anzeichen von Schäden/
Verbiegungen/Korrosion und ordnungsgemäße Funktion und
Verriegelung derVerbindungen.
Rope* – Untersuchung auf Anzeichen von Verschleiß/
Abnutzung, einschließlich Verschleiß des Seils, Spliss,
Dehnung undVerschmelzung.
* Punktuelle Abnutzung kann anders als genereller
Verschleiß durch die Führung des Seils über scharfe Kanten
oder Vorsprüngeverursacht werden und die Zugkraft
schwerwiegend beeinträchtigen. Eine leichte Beschädigung
der äußeren Fasern und sporadischerSpliss können noch als
unschädlich gelten; eine Abnahme des Seildurchmessers
oder gravierende Deformationen des Flechtmustersmüssen
jedoch zur Rückweisung führen.
Persönliche Schutzausrüstung muss unverzüglich
ausgemustert werden, wenn sie schweren Schlägen oder
Stößen ausgesetzt war oderwenn Zweifel an ihrem Zustand
bestehen. (Siehe die Punkte oben)
Der GOTCHA™ kann im Bedarfsfall gereinigt werden. Die
folgenden Maßnahmen müssendabei beachtet werden:
Verwenden Sie ein mildes Reinigungsmittel in lauwarmem
Wasser und wischen Sie den GOTCHA™ mit einem Tuch oder
Schwamm ab. Er darf dabei nichtübermäßig nass werden.
Dieser Vorgang muss zum Abspülen mit klarem Wasser
wiederholt werden. Dann wird die Vorrichtung an derLuft
getrocknet – keiner direkten Wärmequelle aussetzen. Sollten
Sie weitere Informationen benötigen, wenden Sie sich bitte
an SpanSet.

Kit De Rescate A
Distancia Gotcha
El GOTCHA™ está pensado para proporcionar un kit de
rescate que permitirá al rescatador:
- Asegurar a una víctima suspendida por un cordón
anticaídas.
- Elevar a una víctima para poder soltarla del cordón al que
está sujeta.
- Elevar o descender a la víctima hasta un punto seguro.
Las posibilidades anteriormente descritas pueden realizarse
sin necesidad de que el rescatador acceda hasta la víctima.
Parapoder hacer esto, el rescatador deberá ser capaz de
acceder al punto en el que la víctima ancló su cordón.
El dispositivo decontrol del kit de rescate se bloquea
automáticamente al soltarlo.
El GOTCHA™ se utilizará de dos maneras distintas,
dependiendo de si el anclaje se encuentra a nivel de los
pies delrescatador o por encima de los mismos (idealmente
a 1,5 m. para que sea efectivo), ya que esto tiene
importantesimplicaciones.
Si el punto de anclaje se encuentra a nivel de los pies, el
sistema no podrá elevar a la víctima lo suficiente como para
volver atraerla al punto de partida. La víctima deberá ser
elevada para poder soltar su cordón y después descenderla
a un puntoseguro. Además, el rescatador deberá utilizar
su fuerza al elevar a la víctima, de manera que la ventaja
mecánica es mayor(4:1).
Si el anclaje se encuentra 1,5 m. por encima del nivel de
los pies, preferentemente a nivel de la cabeza, será posible
elevar ala víctima hasta su punto de partida. Para esto, el
rescatador podrá utilizar su peso para ayudar en al operación
y, por lo tanto,la ventaja mecánica es menor (3:1).
The idea of the GOTCHA™ is to provide a rescue kit that will enable a rescuer to:
•Attach a casualty who is suspended by a fall arrest lanyard.
•Raise the casualty in order to release their current attachment.
•Raise or lower the casualty to a point of safety.
The above capabilities are all achievable without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty. In order to carry out this the
rescuer must be able to access the point at which the casualty anchored their lanyard. The control feature of the rescue kit
locks automatically if released.
The GOTCHA™ will be used in two different modes depending upon whether the anchor point is at the rescuers foot level o
r
above (ideally 1.5m above to have any material effect), as this has important effects.
If the anchor is at foot level then the system will not be able to raise the casualty sufficiently to bring them back to their start
point. The casualty must be raised in order to release their lanyard then lowered to safety. Also the rescuer is required to use
their strength when raising the casualty, so the mechanical advantage is greater (4:1).
If the anchor is 1.5m above foot level, preferably at head height it will be possible to raise the casualty to their start point. Fo
r
this the rescuer is able to use their weight to assist in the operation and therefore the mechanical advantage is lower (3:1).

above (ideally 1.5m above to have any material effect), as this has important effects.
If the anchor is at foot level then the system will not be able to raise the casualty sufficiently to bring them back to their start
point. The casualty must be raised in order to release their lanyard then lowered to safety. Also the rescuer is required to use
their strength when raising the casualty, so the mechanical advantage is greater (4:1).
If the anchor is 1.5m above foot level, preferably at head height it will be possible to raise the casualty to their start point. Fo
r
this the rescuer is able to use their weight to assist in the operation and therefore the mechanical advantage is lower (3:1).

The idea of the GOTCHA™ is to provide a rescue kit that will enable a rescuer to:
•Attach a casualty who is suspended by a fall arrest lanyard.
•Raise the casualty in order to release their current attachment.
•Raise or lower the casualty to a point of safety.
The above capabilities are all achievable without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty. In order to carry out this the
rescuer must be able to access the point at which the casualty anchored their lanyard. The control feature of the rescue kit
locks automatically if released.
