Latchways TransFasteners which require entry-exit gates for
connection to the system (85080-00, 85081-00) Figure 4
• For systems with an end entry gate place the Latchways
TransFastener onto the leading edge of the entry terminal. Push
the slipper against the plastic gate, the slipper will slide around
the Latchways TransFastener and hook itself around the swaged
end of the yoke, the User will now be able to guide the Latchways
TransFastener along the cable.
• To remove the Latchways TransFastener from the system pull the
plastic entry gate open and slide the slipper through.
• For systems with a screw-gate entry terminal (Figure 5) unscrew
the thimble and pull it back along the shaft, move the Latchways
TransFastener into position on the thimble and slide the slipper through
the gap until it is horizontal, allow the thimble to slide through the
Latchways TransFastener and screw it back onto the thread.
• To remove the Latchways TransFastener follow the above sequence in
reverse order.
Latchways Removable TransFastener (85085-00) Figure 6
• To attach the Latchways Removable TransFastener to the cable
slide the link cover to one side and hold the slipper against the side
where the link cover has been positioned then place the Latchways
Removable TransFastener over the cable so the cable is between the
two starwheels and is situated in the recess of the link body.
• Slide the link cover to the opposite side and withdraw the cable from
the link body recess.
• Move the link body and cover down ensuring the slipper has full
engagement on the cable.
• The Latchways Removable TransFastener will now hang from the
cable. To secure the Latchways Removable TransFastener on the
cable attach the connector on the end of the lanyard through both
holes in the body and cover.
• To remove the Latchways TransFastener follow the above sequence in
reverse order.
Latchways Removable Overhead Device (87025-00) Figure 7
• To attach the Latchways Removable Overhead Device to the cable,
slide the gate towards the opening, and rotate the gate.
• Place the device over the cable, and rotate the gate and slide back into

its original position.
• The Removable Overhead device will now hang from the cable.
To secure the Removable Overhead Device to the cable, attach a
connector between both anchor points.
• To remove the Removable Overhead Device follow the above sequence
in the reverse order.
7 Design statements
• Latchways HLL systems are individually designed to stringent design
rules and the maximum angle of inclination is ± 15° from horizontal.
Check system label ( ) for Maximum number of Users

• Consideration shall be given to the necessary minimum clearance
below the User to prevent a collision with a structure or the ground.
The maximum lifeline deflection will vary depending upon the Energy
Absorber capacity, number of system Users, energy absorber type
(lanyard or SRL) and system span length. Ensure the appropriate
selection of PPE is made to meet the application.
• Latchways HLL systems absorb the energy of a User falling on the
system. This is absorbed by the combination of the deployment of
the Energy Absorber, elongation of the system cable and function of
the energy absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline. Misuse of the
system can cause deployment of the energy absorber and will require
removal from service until repaired and recertified by an approved
MSA registered installer.
• In situations where the atmosphere may be considered aggressive
(chlorides and sulfides), a more frequent maintenance and inspection
regime may need to be adopted.
Contact MSA with any questions or for further information.
8 Inspection, Maintenance and Storage
• For user safety, continued efficiency and durability of the MAP it shall
be periodically examined, at least annually, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Frequency is dependant upon frequency
of use, conditions of use and local regulations.
• MAP Periodic examination shall only be carried out by a competent
person in accordance with MSA Latchways instructions.
