a PPE fall arrest system. Any other use can jeopardize the safety of the user. SPECIFIC USE: This device offers higher performances
than those required by PPE Regulation 2016/425. Unusual situations: This device can be safely used by two persons simultaneously in
compliance with CEN/TS 16415:2013. Examples of applications: Rescue of a victim suspended in his fall arrest system. DONNING
AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS: For type B anchor device, it is imperative that the anchor device be stable. To ensure the stability of the
anchor device refer to operating instructions of the device. The installation of the device must be made according to the instructions of
the installation manual of the device. (see installation instructions) The user's safety depends on the efficiency of the device installation.
Follow step by step the instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer in order to guarantee a suitable installation. Use the
appropriate tools for the described actions which do not damage the device. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: See Figure 1: 1.
Choose a sufficiently strong anchor structure (min. 13 kN).
anchor devices are attached are adapted for this constraint. 2. Position the anchor device on the ground for the door frames, or at the
edge for the window frames. 3. Position the anchor device on the opposite site to the user intervention area, with the triangle anchor
oriented in the direction of use. 4. Position the anchor device fixed part against the frame, and slide the movable part in the opposite
direction in order to abut against the other side of the frame.
appropriate preset hole.
6. Lock the anchor device by clamping the movable part against the frame with the screw provided for this
purpose. 7. Ensure that the anchor device is secure and stable. WARNING ! Anchoring effectiveness depends on the product being
correctly attached to the door or window frame. Before using the product it is essential to ensure that: the anchoring bar is situated on
the opposite side of the door or window frame to that where the user must operate, see Figure 1. that the movable clamp is securely
fixed to the door or window frame. The attachment point must be located above the user and the work carried out in such a way, as to
minimize both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The maximum load likely to be transmitted in service by the device to the
structure is 13 kN, and the relevant load directions for the type of attachment and structure need to be observed. RECOMMENDATIONS:
For safety reasons and before each use, check: that the anchorage complies to the instructions / that the anchorage is appropriately
installed / where applicable, the D attachment is correctly positioned. / that the device does not show any sign of corrosion / that the
yearly control of the device is still valid / that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met / that the
general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement in the case of a fall. / that the
vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal functioning of the fall arrest
system. The vertical clearance depends on different factors, but not limited to, it includes: -The maximum deflection of the anchorage
device. -The maximum deflection of the carabiners. -The elongation of the linking system. (EN355, EN360, EN353-1, EN353-2) -The
maximum stretch of the body supporting device. (EN361) -The anchorage location relative to where the user is when a fall occurs. -
The height of the user. For the different factors, refer to the recommendations for use for each component of the system. LV120/LV120G
: The maximum deflection of the anchorage device. 15mm WARNINGS:
operate the equipment when using the product. These manipulations can be performed only when the risk of falling is avoided. Before
each use, check that the anchor is securely fixed on its support. Any check or inspection of an anchoring device must be made when
the user is safely anchored on another anchoring device that has been already checked and validated. RISK ANALYSIS : Risks against
which the PPE is intended to protect covered by a harmonized EN standard : - EN795-B : Falls from a height The device is a personal
protective equipment against falls from a height: it protects the user against this risk only when it used in a complete fall arrest system
(EN363), which limit the peak of load during a fall to 6 kN.
harmonized EN standard : - CEN/TS 16415 : This device has been tested to be used up to 2 users simultaneously, according to CENTS
16415. Examples of applications: Rescue of a victim suspended in his fall arrest system. Usage limits: This equipment must be operated
only by trained, competent and in good health people, or under the supervision of a trained and competent person. In case of doubt on
the status of the device (traces of oxidation) or after a fall (deformation), it should not be reused and / or be returned to the manufacturer
or a competent person mandated by them. It is forbidden to remove, add or replace any component of the anchor without the agreement
of the manufacturer. Temperature of working environment: -40°C / +50°C. Chemicals: Put the equipment out of service in the case
of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect the operation. The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the
PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the instructions in this manual. Any static or dynamic overload may damage the PPE.
The weight of the user, including his clothing and equipment must not exceed the maximum weight indicated on the fall arrest.. It is
dangerous to create your own personal fall protection system as each safety function may interfere with another safety function. The
anchoring device should be used solely for personal protective equipment against falls and not for lifting equipment. When the anchor
is used as part of a fall arrest system, the user must be equipped with means for limiting the maximum dynamic forces exerted on the
user during a fall arrest, to a maximum of 6 kN. Provide a safe distance from the ground and the power lines or areas with an electrical
hazard. Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the operation.
SHELF LIFE: Metal products and mechanical products (self retracting fall arrest device, sliding, work on ropes, anchors etc. ...) : Maximum
duration of 20 years from the date of manufacture (including storage and use). The shelf life is given as an indication. The following
factors can cause it to vary greatly: Non compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for transport, storage and use / "Aggressive"
work environment: marine atmosphere, chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges... / Particularly intensive use / Shock or significant
constraint / Disregard for the product item's history.. Warning: these factors can cause damage invisible to the naked eye. Warning:
certain extreme conditions can shorten the shelf life by a few days. If in doubt, always remove the product for it to undergo either: a
review / destruction. In the case of doubt or if the device was used to stop a fall, it must be immediately withdrawn from use and returned
to the manufacturer or any competent person appointed by them. The shelf life is not a substitute for periodic verification (minimum
annually) which will assess the condition of the product. TO FIND YOUR LOCAL ANNUAL REVIEW CENTRE, VISIT
