8 – SPECIFIC INFORMATIONS
The Personal Protective Equipment class III, 761.FRO –
known as "FROG", it's a connector conform to norms:
- EN 362:2004 class A e T, suitable for connecting elements
and/or fall arrest systems, work positioning, rope access,
retention and rescue,
- EN12275:2013 class A e T, suitable for mountaineering
climbing and related activities, and to be part of the security
system that protects the climber from a fall from height.
Fig. 1 - Versions:
- 761.FRO: connector with removable tubular webbing
- 704.000: connector with fixed tubular webbing
Tubular webbing are the models 270V00 (CE certify: P5 03
07 23385 109) and 271V00 (CE certify: P5 03 07 23385 104)
with flexible stiffening inner bar.
Fig. 2 – The connector is designed to be connected with
specific kinds of anchoring – metallic with maximum diameter
12.7 mm – (class A) and to keep the load in a specific
direction (class T).
Fig. 3 – Opening of gate: 12,7 mm and parts of connector: A:
plates of aluminium alloy – B: gates of aluminium alloy – C:
pins of stainless steel - D: pin for webbing made of aluminium
alloy (version 761.FRO) – E: fastening head of aluminium
alloy - F: nut made of aluminium alloy (version 761.FRO) – G:
tubular webbing of polyamide – H: pin for webbing made of
stainless steel (version 704.000).
Positioning:
a) open the gates and rotate them around the central pin.
The gates are locked in the open position only if they are
rotated in the same time and completely (fig. 4),
b) insert into anchorage; a light pressure against the inner
triggers will automatically close the gates (fig. 5),
Used combined to a tubular webbing, stiffened by a flexible
inner bar, allow to easily catch even the more distant
anchoring points (Fig. 6).
Important: carefully check the suitability of the chosen
anchor point, according to the application it is intended
for. In particular, make sure that:
- the quickdraw is positioned under the anchor point
(fig. 7),
- the connectors inserted in the anchor point are free to
move and position in the right direction of the applied
load with gates always perfectly closed.
Fig. 8 - Position offering maximum resistance
Examples of correct use:
Fig. 9 - right insertion of the rope in the quickdraws
Fig. 10 - the use of quickdraws facilitate the rope sliding
Examples of incorrect and dangerous use:
Fig. 11 - wrong use of quickdraws. Warning: a possible fall
may cause the exit of the rope.
Caution, beware of death:
- never hold the connector as in figure 12 to help yourselves
up,
- do not hook up these connectors directly to ropes,
accessory cords, slings or any other textile materials (fig.
13).
Examples of incorrect and dangerous use that cause lateral
or torsional forces (fig. 14).
Important: Before use connectors for suspension, calculate
the actual loads to which they are subjected (fig. 15); these
loads should never exceed ¼ of the load marked on the
connector (SWL 1: 4),
