installed on a same beam, the installer must ensure
that the beam and the load-bearing structure will
withstand a simultaneous fall by all the users in all the
foreseeable utilisation configurations.
In the event of any doubt concerning the strength of the
beam and/or the supporting structure, a preliminary
study must first be carried out by a specialized
technician, qualified for materials strength, before
installing the rollclamp anchor points. The study must
be supported by a design note and take account of all
applicable regulations, trade practices, and the
information given in this manual, both as concerns the
anchor point and the PPE which will be connected to
the anchor point. This manual must therefore be
handed over to the technician or engineering
department in charge of the preliminary study.
Before installing the rollclamp anchor point, the installer
must ensure that the anchoring beam satisfies the
following requirements along the entire planned travel
length "C" (fig. 4):
- The beam must be in good condition.
- The beam must have a constant width and thickness.
- The beam must be free of any obstacles which could
block or restrain the rollclamp anchor point when
moving.
DANGER: Before installing the rollclamp anchor
point, the installer must first check that the inclination of
the beam is less than 2° (fig. 4). The installer must also
check that the beam is equipped at each end with a
travel limit stop (fig. 4, item 11) for the rollclamp anchor
point.
8. Installation
8.1 Preliminary requirements
1. The rollclamp anchor point must be installed by a
qualified installer.
2. The rollclamp anchor system must only be
installed and used in compliance with the applicable
regulations of the country in which the system is
installed.
3. If a preliminary study data package has been
prepared, the installer must have this data package
in hand (§7).
8.2 Preliminary checks prior to installation
Before you begin to install the system, check the
following:
1. The mobile jaw (fig. 1, item 3) locks correctly on the
guide rod (fig. 1, item 7).
2. The 4 guide rings are in place (fig. 1, item 1).
3. The 2 (M model) or 4 (L model) guide shoes are in
place (fig. 1, item 2).
4. All the markings are present and are legible (see
§ 11).
5. The various components forming the rollclamp are
present and do not show any significant signs of
deformation, wear and/or corrosion.
6. All the parts associated are used in accordance
with the recommendations given in their respective
user manuals.
7. The rollclamp anchor point has been covered by a
periodic inspection over the past 12 months.
8. The securing strap (fig. 1, item 8) does not show
any signs of wear or damage.
9. The drop height (fig. 4, item T) is greater than 4 m.
10. The anchoring beam planned (fig. 2, item 10) is
compatible with the size of the rollclamp anchor
system to be installed (Fig. 2).

DANGER: If any anomaly is observed during
these checks, the rollclamp anchor system must
be removed from service and confined to prevent any
use and should be repaired by a qualified technician
(see § 11-3).
8.3 Installation
The rollclamp anchor point is installed in 3 steps :
- Opening of the rollclamp anchor point.
- Installation of the rollclamp anchor point on the beam.
- Check after installation.
8.3.1 Opening the rollclamp (fig. 5, item 1)
1. Unlock the indexing knob (fig. 1, item 4) by
positioning the notch as shown (fig. 5).
2. Release the mobile jaw (fig. 1, item 3) by pulling on
the indexing knob (fig. 1, item 4).
3. Slide the mobile jaw (fig. 1, item 3) while holding the
indexing knob (fig. 1, item 4).
4. Lock the mobile jaw (fig. 1, item 3) on the guide rod
(fig. 1, item 7) by releasing the indexing knob (fig.
1, item 4).
DANGER: Check that the indexing knob pin
(fig. 1, item 4) is properly engaged in an indexing hole
(fig. 1, item 9) of the guide rod (fig. 1, item 7).
8.3.2 Installing the rollclamp on the beam
(Fig. 5, item 2)
1. Place the fixed jaw (fig. 1, item 6) on the first side
of the beam.
2. Unlock the indexing knob (fig. 1, item 4) by
positioning the notch as shown.
3. Release the mobile jaw (fig. 1, item 3) by pulling on
the indexing knob (fig. 1, item 4).
4. Slide the mobile jaw (fig. 1, item 3) while holding the
