tional pushbutton. The pushbutton can be integrated in the sys-
tem controller. Activation of the fall arrest device is also possible
by pressing the EMERGENCY-STOP button.
EFA fall arrest devices can also be used as a mechanical limiting
device for tilting, e. g. in conjunction with an electrical switch for
tilt monitoring.

assessment according to EN ISO 12100:2010.
The additional risks that may occur from the remote activation
must be assessed for the application and eliminated using con-
structive measures. Additional risks are, amongst others:
