speeds. If a fall occurs, a speed sensing brake system will
activate, stopping the fall and absorbing much of the energy
created. If a fall has been arrested, the SRL must be removed
from service and inspected. See section 5.0. Sudden or quick
movements should be avoided during normal work operation
as this may cause the SRL to lock-up.
g. enVIronMental HaZarDs: Use of the SRL in hazardous
environments may require additional precautions to reduce
the possibility of injury to the user or damage to the personal
fall arrest system. Hazards may include, but are not limited
to; heat, extreme cold, caustic or corrosive chemicals,
high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, moving
machinery, sharp edges.
H. traInIng: The SRL is intended to be installed and used by
persons trained in its application and use.
1.3 Refer to national standards, including the ANSI Z359 (.1, .2, .3,
and .4) family of standards on fall protection, ANSI A10.32 and
applicable local, state, and federal (OSHA) requirements governing
occupational safety for more information about fall arrest.
2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1 coMPatIBIlItY of coMPonents: DBI-SALA equipment
is designed for use with DBI-SALA approved components and
subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-
approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility
of equipment and may effect the safety and reliability of the
complete system. Personal fall arrest systems must meet
applicable local, state, and federal (OSHA) requirements. A full
body harness must be used with the Talon SRL.
2.2 coMPatIBIlItY of connectors: Connectors are considered
to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been
designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and
shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open
regardless of how they become oriented. Contact DBI-SALA if you
have any questions about compatibility.
Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable
of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be
compatible with the anchorage or other system components.
Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible
connectors may unintentionally disengage. See Figure 3.
Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self
locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359.1
and OSHA.
2.3 MaKIng connectIons: Only use self-locking snap hooks and
carabiners with this equipment. Only use connectors that are
suitable to each application. Ensure all connections are compatible
