Description
The FallTech® 9' DuraTech Cable SRD is a self-retracting lifeline for those working at height. At the top of the unit, a swiveling aluminum eye
provides an attachment point for a self-closing and self-locking connector. The SRD body consists of a polycarbonate housing that contains a
2.7 m (9 ft) length of galvanized steel cable wound onto a spring-tensioned drum. The attachment end of the cable is equipped with a wound spring
cable stop with a rubber handle over the double clamps of a thimble eye, the end of the cable may be configured with a variety of connectors, see
Figure 1.
The safe working lifeline length of the SRD is 2.7 m (9 ft). A certain amount of lifeline must always remain on the SRD drum to ensure proper brake
function. The lifeline is equipped with colored working length line indicators, see Figure 2. When attached and the worker moves about, the lifeline
pays out and retracts, automatically maintaining a taut line. If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system engages, a centrifugal pawl system locks and
applies a brake, slowing and arresting the fall.
See Table 1 in Appendix A for product and materials specifications.
