4. Function and description
The stopfor™ is a self-holding mechanical fall arrest
device, constituting,
anchoring system on which it slides, a subassembly of
a fall protection system. Each model of stopfor™ is
assigned a specific belay bracket
Each model of stopfor™ has undergone an EU type
examination by a notified body, in association with the
appropriate belay device.
The use of a stopfor™ on a belay system not adapted
to this model in accordance with the information in
this manual entails a risk of non-functioning of the
system that could endanger the life of the operator.
• The stopfor™ SL is an openable fall arrester that
moves along a 14 mm stranded belay rope, it
accompanies the user without requiring manual
intervention during its upward or downward
movement. Its jaw automatically locks onto the
rope when a fall occurs.
• The stopfor™ B is a new generation opening fall
arrest device that moves along a 14 mm stranded
belay rope, it accompanies the user without
requiring manual intervention during its upward or
downward movement.
automatically locks onto the rope when a fall
occurs.
• The stopfor™ BF is a new generation non-opening
slide fall arrestor and is identical to stopfor™ B.
• The stopfor™ MSP is a new generation of opening
slide fall arresters. It is a variant of stopfor™ B to
which we have added:
– An anti-rotation system that prevents the
blocfor™ from being incorrectly placed on the
belay system.
– A manual locking function that allows the user to
lock the stopfor™ in the holding position at the
workstation on the rope.

Horizontal use
The fall arresters
tested in horizontal use according to the European
flexible
sheet CNB/P/11.075 of September 2018 on radius
edge 0.5 mm min.
If the edge is considered sharp or if there is any burr,
take all necessary measures to prevent the operator
from falling on the edge or provide a protection on the
edge.
Before using the stopfor™ fall arrest device in
horizontal use, check that:
– The anchorage point of the stopfor™ fall arrest
device is located at the same height or above the
edge
(Figures 5.a, 5.b, 5.c).
– The angle formed by the belay device in contact
with the edge if there is a fall is at least 90°
(Figures 5.a, 5.b).
– To reduce the risk of pendulum effect, the
operator's movement is limited to a maximum
lateral movement distance perpendicular to the
edge of 1.50 m max. (See fig. 6.1). For any other
application exceeding 1.50m, a class C or D
anchor according to EN 795:2012 must be used.
– That there are no obstacles on the dip path during
a fall.
– That a specific rescue plan has been put in place if
there is a fall.
– That there is no risk of roof fragility (fibrocement
type,...). If in doubt, install a solid traffic path
cam
compatible with the roof.
– Other cases are not included in this list. A multitude
of other scenarios exist that we cannot list or
imagine.
