In these cases, follow the instructions described in their own manual.
WARNING:
This anchoring device (EN795) will never be directly connected to a harness.
This anchoring device shall only be used in a PPE fall arrest system. Any other use can jeopardize the safety of the
user.
INTRODUCTION:
LV120/LV120G is an anchor system designed to ensure the safety of persons performing operations near a window
or door frame where there is a risk of falling. It complies to European standard EN795 :2012 type B. This device has
been tested to be used up to 2 users simultaneously, according to CENTS 16415:2013.
LV120 is in stainless steel and LV120G is in galvanized steel
The anchoring bar can be installed in door or window frames of any width between 63 cm and 123 cm.
ESTABLISHMENT AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS:
The installation of the device must be made according to the instructions of the installation manual of the device.
The user's safety depends on the efficiency of the device installation.
Follow step by step the instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer in order to guarantee a suitable
installation.
Use the appropriate tools for the described actions which do not damage the device.
Choose a strong structure, minimum 13kN. The user must ensure that the support materials in which the structural
anchor devices are attached are adapted for this constraint.
WARNING:
The attachment point must be located above the user and the work carried out in such a way, as to minimise both
the potential for falls and potential fall distance and it must have a minimum resistance of 13kN according to EN795
& CENTS 16415:2013.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
For safety reasons and before each use, check:
- that the anchorage complies to the instructions
- that the anchorage is appropriately installed
- the D attachment is correctly positioned.
- that the device does not show any sign of corrosion
- that the yearly control of the device is still valid
- that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met.
- that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum
movement in the case of a fall.
- the vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal
functioning of the fall arrest system.
The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H + additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance H measured from
the initial position to the final position (user's balance after the fall arrest).
Check that there is enough height below the user according to the equipment used. A height of 2m minimum must
be left below the user's feet. Check that the overall layout restricts swinging to a minimum if a fall should occur.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should the user open, adjust or operate the equipment when using the LV120/LV120G.
These manipulations can be performed only when the risk of falling is avoided.
Before each use, check that the anchor is securely fixed on its support.
Any check or inspection of an anchoring device must be made when the user is safely anchored on another
anchoring device that has been already checked and validated.
This equipment should be operated only by trained, competent and in good health people, or under the
supervision of a trained and competent person.
In case of doubt on the status of the device (traces of oxidation) or after a fall (deformation), it should not be
reused and / or be returned to the manufacturer or a competent person mandated by them.
It is forbidden to remove, add or replace any component of the anchor without the agreement of the
manufacturer.
Temperature: LV120/LV120G should be used in work environments with minimum temperatures of -40°C /
maximum of +50°C.
Chemicals: Put the equipment out of service in the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could
affect the operation.
WARNING:
The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the
instructions in this manual.
