How To Install; Using The Device - Honeywell Miller Falcon Edge Mode D'emploi

7.3 - HOW TO INSTALL

Connection:
The self-retracting lifeline must be attached to a reliable anchor point by a
connector, in compliance with EN 362 standards,
• The connector fitted to the black handle at the end of the cable must be
connected to the harness fall protection anchor point. (See Fig. 16).
• The connector fitted to the red retractor housing must be connected to the
anchor point on the structure.
WARNING DANGER: THE LIFELINE CABLE MUST ONLY BE ATTACHED TO
POINTS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR THIS PURPOSE. DO NOT ATTACH
DIRECTLY TO THE STRAP, THE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISMS OR THE HARNESS
ACCESSORIES BELT (See Fig. 4).

7.4 - USING THE DEVICE

However it is used, remember that the device must be installed in such a way that
the absorber is connected to the harness fall protection point (marking A) (see Fig.
16). (You are recommended to use the back anchor point)
a) CONVENTIONAL USE (CE EN360 approved)-(see Fig.7)
Use is deemed to be "conventional" or "vertical" when the device is connected to
an anchor point located below the user's shoulder level, i.e. around 2 m above floor
level (see Fig. 2a).
b) TERRACE USE (outside CE scope) VG11.060 Rev.8 (See Fig. 7).
"Terrace" use is when the device is connected to an anchor point located at the
level of the user's feet or below the user's shoulder level (up to 2m above floor
level). It is strictly forbidden to connect the equipment below the level of the user's
feet (see Fig. 2b)
The device has been tested for horizontal use and has also been successfully
subjected to a fall on an A-type edge. An A-type edge is a non-sharp steel edge
free from burrs, with a radius of r=0.5 mm.
However, to ensure that the device works correctly in "terrace" use, the following
conditions must be observed:
If the equipment is connected to an anchor point located at the level of the user's
feet or within 2m above floor level, the equipment must only be used on A-type
edges, such as may be found, for example, on steel profiles, wooden beams or roof
parapets (clad or rounded).
If the equipment is used in "terrace" mode on a horizontal surface where there is
the risk of a fall onto an edge, and if the risk assessment carried out prior to work
commencing found that the edge is very "sharp" and / or "full of
burrs" (as in the case of a unclad roof parapet, a corroded steel beam or a concrete
edge), it is essential:
• either to take appropriate measures before starting the work to avoid a fall onto
the edge
• or protect the edge before work begins
• or contact the fall protection manufacturer.
-> Failure to follow these instructions may result in the lifeline failing and a
major risk of a fall that could cause serous injury or death.
