If you purchased an IWA International TLSFX 3rd Generation product from Civil TAC, use this page to review the instructions and key safety notes. Read fully before handling.
Safety First
- Read and understand these instructions and the SDS (Safety Data Sheet).
- PPE required: ear protection, hand protection, eye protection.
- NO SMOKING during handling and use.
Quick Steps
Step 1
Grip the unit firmly with the fly-off lever (“spoon”) against the web of your hand.
Do NOT retain the lever with your fingers (even if it feels natural).
Step 2
While still gripping the unit, twist the ring forward (anti-clockwise) to disengage the safety catch.
Then twist the ring back again so the catch clears the top of the lever.
Step 3
Keep hold of the unit and pull the pin fully out.
The unit is now live. Do not attempt to re-insert the pin into a live unit.
Step 4
Deploy by releasing your grip while dropping the unit a safe distance away (5m).
Retire immediately. The unit will function after approximately 3–4 seconds.
If the unit does not function
- Do NOT return to it for 30 minutes.
- Do NOT attempt to re-arm.
- Never “cook off” the unit by releasing the lever while still holding the unit.

- Do not hang the unit from webbing, etc., by the safety pin.
