Assembly - Tractel Blocstop BSO 500 Serie Manuel D'installation Et De Manutention Original

Inspecting the installation site
– Check if other components obstruct a correct installation.
The installation space must not contain any sharp or edged
components.
– Check that the mounting does not cover any nameplates
(see Fig. 3).
– The fall arrest device must be secured in place so that the
rope runs vertically into the fall arrest device from above.
The fall arrest device must be aligned so that it does not
touch the rope. The rope must be tensioned using a tension-
ing weight or a relevant winding device.
– The fall arrest device must be mounted so that the operator
can trigger the SAFETY-STOP at any time and can check
the function via the inspection window. Installation examples:
When using man riding equipment e. g. on a working plat-
form; when using material lifting equipment e. g. at the op-
erator's site.
See Fig. 11.
The fall arrest device must be mounted in such a way that the
direction (A) in which the rope runs through the fall arrest device
at the time of the malfunction is opposite to the braking direction
(B).
For fall arrest devices equipped with a limit switch:
Connection option available in the hoist's control box

Mounting the fall arrest device
DANGER!
Danger of severe injuries caused by incorrect anchoring!
High-strength, galvanized bolts and screws can become brittle
and break. Risk of falling and of being injured by falling ob-
jects!
– High-strength galvanized bolts / screws (10.9 or 12.9)
