1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Safety tripod TM15 is an anchor point compliant with EN 795/B and document
TS 16415/B and can be used as a component of fall protection equipment.
Tripod TM15 provides protection for up to 3 users at a time.
Tripod TM15 is composed of powder-coated aluminium head, equipped with 3
polyamide rollers with bearings (for work guidance in rescue devices CRW200 /
RUP502-U / RUP503-U / RUP504 / RUP506). The head is fitted with 3 anchor
points located at its side walls. Each of these points can be used as an anchor
point for fall protection equipment. One point is designed to be used by
maximum one user at a time.
The above mentioned rescue devices can be mounted on each of three
aluminium telescopic legs by means of universal holder UTB (AT017-300). Each
telescopic leg is terminated with a foot made of zinc-plated steel, equipped
with rubber pad. Each foot has teeth which penetrate through loose or slippery
ground (soil, sand, grit, ice, snow). Inner leg is locked in outer leg using
automatic pin with locking fins which are released by button in pin holder.
Basic parameters of device:
·
Maximum height “under head”: 3.13m
·
Minimum height “under head”: 1.97m
·
Range of diameters above which tripod can be unfolded: 1.1...1.7m.
2. LOAD LIMIT AND STRENGTH
a) GENERAL INFORMATION
Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS): 21kN.
The device can be loaded vertically downwards within a space limited by legs of
the device.
Maximum load that could be transmitted in service from the device to the
static construction – 10kN.
If the device is used as a part of a fall arrest system, the user must be equipped
with an element limiting maximum dynamic forces applied on user while
arresting a fall to max. 6kN.
b) FOR MATERIAL TRIPODS

Working Load Limit (WLL): 1000kg
Safety Factor (SF): 2,1:1.
c) FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) mounted to anchor points
located on the head:
Maximum 3 users at the same time. Whereas one user is connected to one
anchor point.
According to the requirements of EN 795/B and document TS 16415/B strength
of the device is min. 14kN
d) FOR DEVICES FOR PERSONNEL RESCUE
installed on the tripod leg using universal holder UTB (AT017-300):
Working Load Limit (WLL): 200kg
Safety Factor (SF): 10:1.
Work load of rescue device used cannot be greater than 200kg.

3. TRANSPORT AND WEIGHT
Weight of complete device: 28.7kg.
Personal fall protection equipment must be
transported in a package (e.g.: bag made of
moisture-proof textile or foil bag or cases
made of steel or plastic) to protect it against
damage or moisture.
4. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Personal protective equipment should be
cleaned without causing adverse effect on
the materials used in the manufacture of the
equipment. For textile materials (webbings,
ropes) use agents suitable for delicate
fabrics. Can be washed in hands or in a
washing machine. Rinse thoroughly. Wash
textile elements with water only.
- When the equipment becomes wet, either
from being in use or after cleaning, allow it
to dry naturally, and keep it away from
sources of heat. In metallic products
lubricate slightly some mechanical parts
(springs, hinges, pawls, etc.) regularly to
ensure their better operation.
Personal fall protection equipment should
be stored loosely packed in well-ventilated
rooms, protected from direct light, UV
degradation, dust, sharp edges, extreme
temperatures and aggressive chemical
substances.
