3.0 Application
3.1 Purpose:
The Arc Flash Mini Pro SRL-P is designed to be used as a component in a Personal Fall Arrest System
(PFAS), to provide a combination of worker mobility and fall protection as required for inspection work,
general construction, maintenance work, oil production, confined space work, etc.
3.2 Personal Fall Arrest System:
A PFAS is an assembly of components and subsystems used to arrest a person during a fall event. A
PFAS typically consists of an anchorage, a deceleration device such as a Energy Absorbing Lanyard
(EAL), a Self-Retracting Device (SRD), or a Fall Arrestor Connecting Subsystem (FACSS), and a properly
fitted Full Body Harness (FBH). The SRD discussed in this manual may be used in non-overhead
anchorage situations. Maximum permissible free fall in a typical PFAS is 6' (1.8 m). Other applications
may be below the D-ring, but no edge exposures are allowed with this product.
3.3 Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) and Rail Systems:
The SRL may be attached to rigid and flexible anchors provided that all HLL or rail system applications,
installation, and uses are under the supervision of a Qualified Person.
3.4 Rescue:
Ensure a written rescue plan, method, and system is in place and readily available for rapid response.
Rescues may require specialized equipment or measures. Rescue operations are beyond the scope of
this manual. See ANSI Z359.4.
3.5 Application Limits:
Take action to avoid moving machinery, abrasive surfaces, and thermal, electrical, including the arc
from welding applications, and chemical hazards as contact may damage the SRL, which may result
in serious injury or death. The SRL is not designed for use in restraint, personnel riding, suspension,
or work positioning. Rescue applications are beyond the scope of this manual. Do not use the SRL for
these applications except as a back-up PFAS.
4.0 System Requirements
4.1 Capacity:
The Arc Flash Mini Pro SRL-P is designed for use by a single user with a combined weight of user, tools,
clothing, etc., of:
a. 130 - 310 lbs. (59 - 141 kg) to comply with ANSI and OSHA
b. 130 - 420 lbs. (59 - 191 kg) to comply with OSHA only
4.2 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 FallTech if you have any
questions about compatibility. Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system
components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible, see Figure 2. Non-compatible connectors
may unintentionally disengage. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-
closing, self-locking connectors are required by ANSI and OSHA.
4.3 Compatibility Of Components:
Equipment is designed for use with approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or
replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of
equipment and may affect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
4.4 Making Connections:
Only use self-locking connectors with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each
application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape, and strength. Do not use equipment
that is not compatible. Visually ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked. Connectors are
designed to be used only as specified in each product's user instructions.
