Gotcha Fjernredningssett
Meningen med GOTCHA™ er å tilby et redningssett som gjør
redningsarbeideren i stand til å:
- Feste en skadet som henger i en fallstoppline.
- Heve den skadde for å løsne festeanordningen.
- Heve eller senke den skadde til trygt sted.
Oppgavene over kan utføres uten at redningsarbeideren
må ha adgang til den skadde. For å utføre disse oppgavene
måredningsarbeideren ha adgang til taljereipets ankerpunkt.
Redningssettets kontrollmekanisme låses automatisk ved
frigjøring.
GOTCHA™ benyttes på to ulike måter, avhengig av om
ankerpunktet er ved redningsarbeiderens fotnivå eller høyere
(idéeltsett 1,5 m høyere for å ha vesentlig effekt), da dette
har stor betydning.
Dersom ankerpunktet er ved fotnivå, vil ikke systemet
være i stand til å heve den skadde høyt nok til å løfte
vedkommendetilbake til utgangspunktet. Den skadde må
først løftes opp for å frigjøre taljereipet, og deretter senkes
ned i sikkerhet.Redningsarbeideren må i tillegg benytte sin
egen styrke for å heve den skadde, slik at den mekaniske
kraftforsterkningen blir større (4:1).
Dersom ankerpunktet er 1,5 m over fotnivå, eller aller
helst ved hodenivå, vil det være mulig å heve den skadde
tilutgangspunktet. Redningsarbeideren kan i dette tilfellet
hjelpe til med sin egen vekt, slik at den mekaniske
kraftforsterkningenblir lavere (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).

Ankerslynge 1,5 m over fotnivå.
1. Oppnå tilgang til den skaddes ankerpunkt.
2. Fest ankerslyngen til et passende ankerpunkt over den
skadde.
3. Redningsarbeidernes vekt bidrar i arbeidet. Den doble
trinsen spennes fast på ankerslyngen.
4. Juster staken til ønsket lengde.
5. Fest den røde klemmen til enden av staken, og den
gjenværende trinsen spennes fast i båndet.
6. Juster tauene mellom trinsene, slik at de får samme
lengde som staken.
7. La den røde klemmen være åpen.
8. Benytt staken til å feste den røde klemmen til den skaddes
seletøyfeste.
9. Fjern staken fra den røde klemmen.
10. Fest GRIGRIen til redningsarbeiderens seletøy.
11. Gi slakk i tauet ved hjelp av GRIGRIen for å sette
systemet i spenning.
12. Redningsarbeideren setter seg nå ned, og hever på denne
måten den skadde.
13. Redningsarbeideren holder tauet over GRIGRIen nær
festeslyngen med én hånd. Med den andre hånden tas
tauet med slakk inn når redningsarbeideren reiser seg.
14. Når den skaddes vekt er overført til GOTCHA™, kan
taljereipet kobles fra.
15. Den skadde kan nå heves til et trygt sted, eller senkes på
følgende måte.
INSTALLATION & USE : INSTRUCTIONS
Anchor more than 1.5m above foot level.
1. Access casualty’s anchorage point.
2. Attach the anchor sling to a suitable anchor point
above the casualty.
3. The rescuers weight is used to assist in the operation.
The double pulley is clipped to the anchor sling.
4. Adjust pole to the required length.
5. Attach the red clip to the end of the pole, and clip the
single pulley into the webbing.
6. Adjust ropes in-between the pulleys to the same length
as the pole.
7. Set the red clip to open.
8. Using the pole, attach the red clip to the casualty’s
harness attachment.
9. Remove the pole from the red clip.
10. Attach the GRIGRI to the rescuers harness.
11. Pull the slack rope through the GRIGRI to tension the
system.
12. The rescuer now sits down, thus raising the casualty.
13. With one hand, the rescuer holds the rope above the
GRIGRI, close to the attachment sling. With the othe
r
hand they take in the slack rope as they stand up.
14. Once the casualty’s weight has been transferred to the
GOTCHA™, then their lanyard can be disconnected.
15. The casualty can now be raised to a point of safety, o
r
lowered as follows.
16. To lower the casualty the rescuer must take hold of the
rope that exits the GRIGRI, and this is used to control
the descent.
17. With the other hand releases the black handle on the
GRIGRI until the rope can be fed at a controllable
speed. This thus lowers the casualty.(Please see
note)

NOTE: In order to carry out a rescue the rescuer requires a harness with a front point of attachment for locating the GRIGRI.
If the anchor point for the GOTCHA™ is such that the casualty must be lowered, then the rope length in the kit must
be four times the distance from the anchorage to the point of safety.
