2.0 Description
The FallTech Arc Flash Mini Pro SRL-P is a personal self-retracting device for those working at height
and may be subject to fall hazards. This product is not suitable for applications with leading edge
exposures where the lifeline of this device may come in contact with an edge during a fall event.
Contact FallTech for more information or product selection questions. This manual includes one
Appendix containing figures and tables specific to the Arc Flash Mini Pro SRL-P discussed in this
manual.
FallTech Arc Flash SRLs have been tested to meet the requirements of ASTM F887 and OSHA 1910.269
requiring a capacity to maintain flame resistance during an electric arc with a heat energy of up to
40±5 cal/cm
. Please refer to the table in Appendix A of this supplement for specific part numbers and
2
specifications.
The SRL discussed in this manual may be attached to an overhead anchorage, i.e., from directly over
the user's head, or to an anchorage at a maximum of 5' below the user's FBH dorsal D-ring for a worker
weight up to 420 lbs. Below D-ring tie-off is outside the scope of ANSI Z359 and is only allowed when
no edge hazards are present. At no point during a fall shall the lifeline be loaded over any edge.
As shown in Figure 1 below, the Arc Flash Mini Pro has a nylon housing that contains a synthetic lifeline
wound onto a spring tensioned drum. The Arc Flash Mini Pro lifeline is equipped with an energy
absorber and a leg-end connector. When the user is attached, the lifeline extends and retracts with
the user movement, automatically maintaining taut lifeline. If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system
engages, stopping the lifeline payout. Then, the in-line Energy Absorber (EA) will deploy, gradually
slowing and arresting the fall.
See Table 1A in Appendix A for product, material, and performance specifications.
