Preliminary Note; Safety Instructions - ST Quadrat LUX-top FALZ-PLUS II Manuel D'utilisation

Preliminary note

Before installing the anchor device, the load-bearing capacity of the roof /
substructure must be checked. In case of doubt seek the advice of a structural
engineer! The technical building regulations must be complied with. No changes
must be made to the anchor device and only original parts belonging to the
anchor system may be used.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

 When using the anchor device as part of a fall arrest system, for safety reasons it is
essential to ensure the necessary clearance below the user at the workplace before
each use, so that in case of a fall it is not possible for the user to hit the ground or any
other obstacle!
 In the event of a fall of a person secured on the
device, the resulting deformation of the anchor device (up to 20 cm) must be taken
into account when calculating the fall arrest distance.
The necessary minimum clearance below the system user is calculated as follows:
deformation of the anchor device
+ tear length of the energy absorber according to its instructions for use
+ extension of the connecting rope due to rope elongation
+ displacement of the safety harness on the body
+ height of the user
+ safety clearance of 1.0 m
 If there is insufficient clearance below the user, the anchor device may only
be used with a restraint system and must be labelled accordingly. For this
purpose, also observe the instructions for use of the other personal fall protection
equipment (PFPE).
 For horizontal use, only lanyards that are suitable for this type of application and
which are tested for the load due to the corresponding edge design may be used.
 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 who
are physically and mentally suitable. Health restrictions (e.g. cardiovascular problems,
taking medication) can endanger the safety of the system user when working at
heights.
 Using the system for purposes other than those for which it is designed, e.g. by
suspending undefined loads, is not allowed.
 The anchor device may only be used for attaching the PPE against falls from a height
according to DIN EN 363, consisting of, for example, a full body harness (DIN EN
361), lanyard (DIN EN 354) and energy absorber (DIN EN 355).
