1.11 USE
The system is ready to use as long as the operating procedures described above have been followed. Simply attach the trolley (FA 20 700 00) to the sternal
attachment point (A or 2x A/2) of the user's harness (EN361) with a connector (EN362).
However, the device must be checked after installation; the person in charge of the installation must fill the questionnaire below:
(if there are check marks in the NOT OK column, the device must not be used until it has been brought into compliance)
The system has top and bottom spring loaded retractable terminations that prevent the rope grab from accidentally slipping
off the rail
The installation is complete, with top, bottom and intermediary mounting brackets, anchor line (energy absorber and tensioner
if necessary)
All the mounting brackets (top, bottom or intermediary) are installed on the structure according to the recommendations given
in this guide AND using the fastenings provided by the manufacturer
For the rail installations (only): the junctions are present for each section change AND are properly fixed
The intermediary mounting brackets are set at the given intervals
All the nuts are properly installed AND include an anti-release system (Nylock nut OR nut with Grower washer – or equivalent
OR nut locknut)
The rope grab/trolley slides freely on the anchorage line without sticking
The system has a warning sign
The system is perfectly aligned vertically, from the top to the bottom
The system shows no inclination exceeding ±15°
This installation guide and the PPE User Instruction Manual for the fall arrest system have been given to the operator
OBSERVATIONS:
Reception – Tests: Systems installed as described do not require testing. KRATOS SAFETY certifies that the KS8000 and KS9000 (EN353-1) fall arrest systems
are compliant with European standards in force. Any testing or intervention by a third party to receive the products cannot be charged to KRATOS SAFETY.
2 - SUITABILITY FOR USE :
This type of vertical anchorage system must be used with the corresponding sliding fall arrester; see related user manual (EN353-1).
A sliding fall arrester on an anchorage line must be incorporated into a system as described in the product's fact sheet (EN363).
A fall arrester harness (EN361) is the only body support device permitted for use. It may be dangerous to create your own fall arrest system in which
each safety function may interfere with another safety function. As such, before each use, refer to the recommendations for use for each of the system's
components.
3 - INSPECTION
The recommended service life of the equipment is unlimited (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorised by KRATOS
SAFETY), but it may be increased or reduced according to use and/or the results of the annual inspections. Environmental factors can significantly impact
product life, in particular harsh environments such as marine environments, corrosive environments, chemical environments, etc. In accordance with the
regulations in force, the equipment should be inspected if there is any uncertainty or after a fall and at least annually, by the manufacturer or a competent
person authorised by the manufacturer to check its strength and therefore the user's safety. In aggressive environments, checks must be carried out
more frequently. When carrying out pre-use checks, annual inspections or maintenance, a different anchorage device that is fit for purpose must be used.
We also recommend that the date of the next inspection is marked on the product.
The table below lists the inspection control points. The results of the periodic inspection will be recorded in the ENTECH01 inspection report
(downloadable from our website) and in the company safety register. We recommend that routine inspections are documented using an inspection
report and photographs.
If any of the system elements fail inspection, the system must be taken Out of Service until a competent person has certified in writing that it can be
reused, or until it has been replaced. In the intervening period, access to the system must be prohibited.
