DBI SALA NANO-LOK 3500224 Manuel D'instructions page 12

The clearances provided in Figures 5 and 6 assume the fall occurs from the standing position. If the worker is
kneeling or crouching an additional 0.9 m (3 ft) of clearance is needed. Failure to heed this warning may result in
serious injury or death.
4.5 AFtER A FALL: Any equipment which has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall or exhibits damage consistent
with the effect of fall arrest forces as described in Section 5, must be removed from service immediately, marked
"UNUSABLE", and disposed of in the recommended manner (see "Section 5.6 - Disposal").
4.6 BODY SUPPORt: A full body harness must be worn when using Nano-Lok Edge SRLs. Connect the Nano-lok Edge SRL to
the user's harness shoulder straps just below the back (dorsal) D-ring. See Section 3.1.
i
Do not use a body belt for fall arrest applications.
4.7 MAKING CONNECtIONS: Figure 12 illustrates harness and anchorage connections for Nano-Lok Edge SRL Fall Arrest
Systems:
A - Anchorage Point B - Snap Hook C - SRL Harness Interface D - Rebar Hook E - WrapBax Hook Locking Mechanism
F - WrapBax Hook Gate Latch G - WrapBax Anchorage
When using a snap hook to make a connection, ensure roll-out cannot occur (see Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15). Do not
use snap hooks or carabiners that will not completely close over the attachment object. Do not use non-locking snap
hooks. The anchorage must meet the anchorage strength requirements stated in Section 2.3. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with each system component.
4.8 wRAPBAx™ AttACHMENt: WrapBax snap hooks operate in the same manner as many conventional snap hooks.
See Figure 12D: Gripping the hook in one hand. the index finger depresses the locking mechanism (E). With the thumb,
the gate latch is pulled back (F). As the gate latch is pulled back, the gate will open. Release the grip and the gate will
close. Wrap the WrapBax portion of the lifeline around an appropriate anchor (G), then open the gate of the WrapBax
snap hook and pass the WrapBax web portion of the lifeline through the snap hook. The lifeline may only pass through the
WrapBax hook once. Make sure the Wrapbax portion of the lifeline is captured and the gate closes completely.
only the wrapBax hook may be used to snap back onto the wrapBax portion of the SRL Lifeline.
when installed, the wrapBax hook must contact the heavy web section (wrapBax portion of the
lifeline). If the anchor structure is so large that the wrapBax hook contacts the lifeline above the
wrapBax portion of the lifeline, a different anchor structure must be used. Failure to heed this
warning may result in equipment malfunction, serious injury, or death.
never connect the wrapBax snap hook of one SRL to the lifeline of another SRL or lanyard. Failure to
heed this warning may result in equipment malfunction, serious injury or death.
4.9 twIN LEG NANO-LOK EDGE SRLs: With the twin leg Nano-Lok Edge SRLs mounted on the back of a Full Body
Harness, the user can have continuous fall protection (100 % tie-off) while ascending, descending, or moving laterally
(see Figure 12B). With the lifeline leg of one SRL attached to an anchorage point, the worker can move to a new location,
attach the unused lifeline leg of the other SRL to another anchorage point, and then disconnect from the original
anchorage point. The sequence is repeated until the worker reaches the desired location. Considerations for twin leg
100% tie-off applications include the following:
• Connection of each SRL leg to a separate anchorage point is acceptable.
• Never connect more than one person at a time to the twin-leg system.
• Do not allow the lifelines to become tangled or twisted together as this may prevent them from retracting.
• Do not allow the lifelines to pass under arms or between legs during use.
4.10 HORIzONtAL SYStEMS: In applications where the Nano-Lok Edge SRL is used in conjunction with a horizontal system
(i.e. Horizontal Lifeline, Horizontal I-Beams Trolley), the SRL snap hook and horizontal system components must be
compatible. Horizontal systems must be designed and installed under the supervision of a qualified engineer. Consult the
horizontal system equipment manufacturer's instructions for details.
5.0 InSpectIon
5.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Before each use of this fall protection equipment the user should carefully inspect it to assure it is
in good working condition. See Table 1 for inspection detail. If there is any hesitation in retraction, remove the SRL from
service, mark "UNUSABLE", and dispose of in the recommended manner.
5.2 i-Safe™ RFID tAG: The Nano-Lok Edge SRL includes an i-Safe™ Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. (See Figure
13) The RFID tag can be used in conjunction with the i-Safe handheld reading device to simplify inspection and inventory
control and provide records for your fall protection equipment. If you are a first-time user, contact a Capital Safety
Customer Service representative (see back cover); or if you have already registered, go to isafe. capitalsafety.com. Follow
the instructions provided with your i-Safe handheld reader or software to transfer your data to your database.
5.3 INSPECtION FREQUENCY: Refer to "Section 2.5 - Inspection Frequency".
5.4 UNSAFE OR DEFECtIVE CONDItIONS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition remove the SRL from
service, mark "UNUSABLE" and dispose of in the recommended manner (see "Section 5.6 - Disposal").
5.5 PRODUCt LIFE: The functional life of Nano-Lok Edge SRLs is determined by work conditions and maintenance. The SRL
may remain in service as long as it passes inspection criteria. The maximum life of the webbing of web lifeline models is
ten years, after which it must be replaced.
