Introduction
Before installing the anchor device the load-bearing capacity of the substructure
must be checked. In case of doubt seek the advice of a structural engineer! The
technical building regulations must be complied with. Do not make any changes to
the anchor device and only use original parts of the anchor system.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
If using the anchor device as part of a fall arrest system, for safety reasons, before each
use it is essential to ensure the necessary clear space below the user at the workplace, so
that in case of a fall it is not possible for them to hit the ground or any other obstruction!
In the event of a fall
resulting deformation of the anchor device (up to 20 cm) must be taken into account in the
arrest distance.
The minimum clear space required below the system user is calculated from:
+
Deformation of the anchor device
+
Fully open length of the energy absorber according to its instructions for use
+
Elongation of the connection rope or cable due to extension
+
Displacement of the full body harness on the body
+
Height of the user
+
Safety clearance of 1.0 m
If there is insufficient clear space below the user, the anchor device may only be
used with a restraint system and must be labelled accordingly. To this end, also
note and follow the instructions for use for the other personal fall protection equipment
(PFPE).
In case of horizontal use, only use lanyards, which are suitable for this type of use and
which are tested for the applicable loading and stressing due to the corresponding edge
design.
The anchor device may only be installed and used by trained persons, who are familiar with
these user instructions and with handling PPE against falls from a height and are physically
and mentally suitable for the task.
medication) can endanger the safety of the system user when working at heights.
Use of the system for purposes other than those for which it is intended, e.g. by hanging
undefined loads, is not allowed.
