Description

The FallTech® 6' DuraTech Mini Single/Twin SRD is a self-retracting lifeline for those working at height. At the top of the unit, a swiveling steel eye
provides an attachment point for a self-closing and self-locking connector. The SRD body consists of a glass-filled nylon housing that contains 1.8 m
(6 ft) length of high performance dyneema webbing wound onto a spring-tensioned drum. The attachment end of the webbing may be configured
with a variety of sewn-on connectors. The energy absorber in the lifeline constituent between the housing and the leg end connector functions as a
retraction stop and a fall arrest impact indicator, see Figure 1. If the stitching is torn loose, remove the unit from service.
When attached and the worker moves about, the lifeline pays out and retracts, automatically maintaining a taut line. If a fall occurs, an integrated
energy absorber at the leg end of the lifeline slows and arrests the fall, and also functions as a fall arrest indicator.
See Table 1 in Appendix A for product and materials specifications.
2.1 Canadian Standards Organization (CSA): The FallTech SRD described in this manual, when used per the instruction in this manual
meets or exceeds CSA Z259.2.2-2017. CSA requires that all SRDs be classified according to their respective type, and are classified either
as; Class SRL, Class SRL-R, Class SRL-LE, or Class SRL-LE-R. The DuraTech 6' Mini Single/Twin Self Retracting Device in this manual
is Class SRL.
CSA Test Parameters used in this manual are:
• Arrest Distance (AD)
• Average Arrest Force (AAF)
• Maximum Peak Arrest Force (MPAF)
The Arrest Distance is the total vertical distance required to arrest a fall. The Arrest Distance includes the deceleration distance and the
activation distance. The Average Arrest Force is the average of the forces applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall protection
system. The Maximum Peak Arrest Force is the maximum amount of force that may be applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall
protection system. In addition to the above tests conducted in ambient conditions, the units must be retested for average and peak forces
under certain environmental conditions, where the units are cooled, then tested, and saturated in water and tested again. Separate units
are used for each test. All test results are recorded.
This test data is then used to establish the basis for fall clearance guidelines published in the user instruction manual.
