Installation

Insofar as possible, the structural anchorage point should be

located above the user. The anchorage point must have a

minimum strength of 10 kN.

The connection to the anchoring point or to the structure must be

done using an EN 362 connector.

For connecting the fall arrester system to the anti-fall harness,

please refer to the instructions manual provided with the harness

to be sure to use the correct hook and attaching method.

CAUTION

Before and during use, it is necessary to plan out how

possible rescue can be efficiently and safely conducted,

within less than 15 minutes. Beyond such time, the person's

life is in danger.
