FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
F igure 1: INSTALLATION OF THE ROPE
T o 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.
