The arresting device shall be designed, constructed, and arranged such that it will be released safely and without any danger by one person operating the footbrake without any further tensioning of the wire rope by operating the handwheel.
The arresting device shall be designed, constructed, and arranged such that it is possible to release the arresting device without any danger, i.e. it prevents the uncontrolled unwinding of the rope under load.
The danger areas on the coupling devices (e.g. gearwheels) shall be fitted with a cover to prevent accidental contact. The cover shall be made of sufficiently resistant material and shall be attached in a way that it is not removable without the use of a tool.
Manually operated coupling devices shall be equipped with a footbrake that prevents the rope from being paid out under load when the arresting device is released. The footbrake shall operate smoothly and steplessly.
It shall be capable of holding a load of 1,5 times the tension force as given in Table 1.
Power operated coupling devices shall be equipped with a manually operated brake that prevents the rope from being paid out under load when the arresting device is released. The brake system shall operate smoothly and shall be steplessly releasable. The brake shall be able to hold a load of at least 1,5 times the tension force given in Table 1.
Coupling devices shall be equipped with gears with which it is possible to apply the straining load to the rope as specified in Table 1. For manually operated coupling devices, the force applied to the handwheel to obtain the specified straining load shall not exceed 500 N.
If a manually operated coupling device is equipped with a gear, which for constructional reasons cannot fulfil the requirements according to 6.9, this device shall additionally be equipped with a secondary tensioning device. This secondary tensioning device shall be designed so that with a force of maximum 500 N the tension force required in Table 1 can be applied to rope. If the handle of the secondary tensioning device is not permanently fixed to the coupling device, it shall not be possible,that it unintentionally becomes loose during operation by itself.BS EN ISO 6218 pdf download.
