SKYLOTEC HSG Serie Instrucciones De Uso página 12

Installing the fall arrest block (fig. 1):
All fall arrest blocks can be attached on the anchor side (1) to a
suitable anchor point (min. 12 kN as per EN) with a carabiner (e.g.
Oval Steel S) or with a carabiner and sling (e.g. 22 kN LOOP), with
a minimum breaking strength of 22 kN.
ATTENTION: Never use lanyards or other energy absorbing
connecting devices to extend the anchor point. This could render
inoperative the locking function of the device.
The HSG KOMPAKT can also be screwed directly onto a verified
static structure with an M10 machine screw with a bolt quality of at
least 8.8.
Only clip the connector at the user end (4) into an attachment point
marked 'A' on the safety harness.
The housing (2) must not rest on edges and the retractable lifeline
(cable, webbing, 3) must not be obstructed in its direction of travel,
and under no circumstances be directed over edges or around
corners. (Point 4)

3.) Vertical applications
To minimise pendulum falls, the anchor point should always be as
perpendicular as possible to the person. The minimum required fall
clearance beneath the standing surface is calculated by individual
elements of the system (fig. 2): Fall arrest block stopping distance
(Δl) + safety margin (1 m) + where applicable, anchorage system
stretch (observe the manufacturer's user instructions for the safety
harness) = min. RD
4.) Horizontal application of the HK PLUS
The HK PLUS has been developed for use in horizontal orientations.
To confirm suitability, various edge tests (steel edge radius = 0.5
mm without burrs) were carried out and the devices were certified
accordingly. On the basis of these tests, the fall arrest blocks are
