device has been successfully tested for horizontal use. Horizontal use is the configuration in which the fall arrest device is attached to an
anchor point at the sternal or dorsal harness attachment point level (factor 1). The device has been tested successfully for a fall over a
Type A edge. A steel bar with a radiusr = 0,5mm with no burs was used for this test. On the basis of this test, the device is suitable for
use over similar edges such as rolled steel profiles, wooden beams or a clad, proof parapet. However, the following shall be considered
when the equipment is used in a horizontal or transverse arrangement and a risk of a fall from a height over an edge exists: If the risk
assessment carried out before the start of work shows that the edge is very sharp and/ or degraded can degrade the cable or strap: -
Appropriate measures must be taken before starting work to prevent a fall from the edge or, - install protection on the falling edge or, -
contact the manufacturer. The anchor point may only be situated at the same height or above as the edge at which a fall might occur.
The angle of the edge between the work surface and the direction of fall, must be not less than 90°. The required clearance below the
edge at which a fall might occur shall be defined. The lanyard must always be used in such a way that there is no slack rope. If the
lanyard is equipped with a length adjustment device, this may only be used if the user is not moving in the direction of the fall edge. To
limit this pendulum movement, the work area or the lateral movements must be limited. They must not exceed 1,50 m on either side of
the axis perpendicular to the edge (from which the drop can occur) and passing through the anchor point of the fall arrest device. If the
work situation requires that these limits be exceeded, the individual anchor point is not the appropriate device. Use a type C or D anchor
device according to the standard EN795:2012 (example: a lifeline). Warning : EN795-C:2012 & EN795-D:2012 : This device cannot be
used with an anchoring device of this type. The deviation of the anchorage device must be taken into account to determine the required
clearance. For this purpose, the information specified in the instructions for use of the anchorage device must be considered. After a fall
over an edge, there is a risk of injuries caused by impact against the building or construction. Warning : In case of a fall over the edge,
special rescue measures shall be defined and trained. ■ TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS (See reference table) : - Materials : (PART4).
➪ RISK ANALYSIS : Risks against which the PPE is intended to protect covered by a harmonized EN standard : EN355: 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. AN203, AN208R2, AN208S, AN213, AN218R2, AN218S,
AN235, AN245 : RfU PPE-R/11.062: This PPE has been tested with a mass constraint 40% higher than the standard requirements (at
140 kg). AN203, AN208R2, AN208S, AN213, AN218R2, AN218S, AN235, AN245 : RfU PPE-R/11.074: Horizontal use on edges (TYPE
A), of energy absorbers. The use of these PPE is reserved for competent persons who have received appropriate training or who are
operating under the immediate responsibility of a competent supervisor, therefore the misuses is reduced to a minimum. Risks against
which the PPE is intended to protect not covered by a harmonized EN standard Two risks are possible: Mounting upside down. Solution:
put the absorber side on the harness side.
2) AN208S / AN218S : Premature wear of the rope (use over an edge). Solution: Rope
surrounded by a thermoformed sheath. Usage limits: Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any
emergency that may occur during the operation. ■ SHELF LIFE : Textile products or those containing textile elements (harnesses, belts,
shock absorbers etc...): maximum life of 10 years from date of manufacture. ► 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

WWW.DELTAPLUS.EU. No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the
manufacturer nor without using their procedures. Existing components must not be replaced nor must other components be added. Do
not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect
accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this manual. Do not use this equipment beyond its limits. To ensure its
working condition and therefore the safety of the user, the product must be checked systematically: ▪1 / visually inspect the following
points: State of the strap or rope: no fraying, no boot cut, no visible damage at seams, no burning and no unusual narrowing. / Condition
of seams and fasteners: no visible damage . / Condition of the metal parts: no wear, no deformation, no corrosion or oxidation. /General
condition: look for any possible damage due to ultraviolet radiation and other climatic conditions / Correct operation and locking of
connectors . / Specific conditions such as humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt, paint, oil, glue, corrosion, wear of the strap or rope, etc..., can
significantly reduce the operation of the fall arrest device. ▪2 / in the following cases: Before and during use / if in doubt / In the case of
contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect operation. / If it has been subjected to stress during a previous fall. / At least
➪ PERIODIC REVIEW of PPE: An
every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent organization, mandated by them.
examination must be performed at least every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent organization, mandated by them. This
very important check is related to the maintenance and efficacy of the PPE and hence the user's safety. This check must be carried out
in strict compliance with the manufacturer's periodic examination procedures. A written document authorising reuse should be obtained
during this audit in order to reuse the PPE. This document will clarify that the user's safety is linked to maintaining the efficiency and
resistance of the equipment. Replace the PPE if necessary. In accordance with European regulations, the identification form must be
completed prior to the first use of the product and then updated and kept with the product as well as the manual by the user. The
readability of the product labelling must be checked periodically. ▪WARNINGS: 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. ►
WARNINGS: In the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect the operation, take the fall arrest device out of
service. Have it inspected and revised before use. ► WARNINGS: Do not use a fall arrest equipment which stopped a fall. It is dangerous
to create your own personal fall protection system as each safety function may interfere with another safety function. No modification or
addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer without using their procedures. Do not
use beyond the scope of use defined in the usage instructions, nor beyond its limits. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any
direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this manual. ▪Temperature of working environment : -
20°C / +50°C. ► Some of these PPE have been tested with a mass constraint 40% / 50% higher than the standard requirements (140
kg) , see product marking. ▪ PART 2: RECORD CARD :PERIODIC REVIEW of PPE: 1/Reference of the product 2/Company 3/User
