Periodic Inspection - SOLL Xenon Manual Del Usaurio

PERIODIC INSPECTION

The Xenon lifeline is a safety element and, accordingly, requires periodic
checking (at least once each year) of the installation by a competent
person to verify the operating condition..
Competent person: A competent person can be considered as any person
who has the right training and/or experience and knowledge in the field of
safety devices for fall arrest protection, and of the legislation referring to it,
to be able to evaluate the safety and conforming use of a safety device.
Before each use, check the following points on the Xenon
carriage:
•
Opening: operation of the button: no hindrance during the opening of the
carriage.
•
General condition: no corrosion, impact, crazing, presence of all the
parts, etc.
•
Indexing of the handle: no excessive resistance on indexing of the
handle, unlocking of the handle under force of between 10 and 15 daN.
•
Automatic tightening: tightening of the flanges to complete closure under
a force of 200 daN.
•
Automatic locking: immediate locking of the carriage when the locking
button is released.
•
Gap between flanges: check of gap between flanges in normal position:
3.5 mm (0/+0.5mm).
•
Handle: no deformation, free movement, no friction points.
•
Non-skid coating: presence of the molded assembly.
Check the following points on the Xenon lifeline:
• Presence of identification plate.
• Cable tension: the green ring must be visible - if the red ring is visible
(by more than 5 mm), the tension is excessive.
• Condition of cable: (Locate any crushed points, loose strands or cut
wires).
• Crimping condition: the ring must be in contact with the
terminal anchor. If any abnormal deviation is visible, it
means that there is slipped and that the lifeline needs to be
checked by the manufacturer or an approved center.
• General condition of absorber: presence of all the safety
pins and of the lead seal, fall indicator in place.
• Condition of attachments: presence and tightness of the nuts
• Condition of the posts or interface: check any visible welds and apply
protection if corrosive attack is perceptible.
• Check of intermediate loops: no deformation, presence of plastic
guides, check tightness of the nut on the screw.
• Check at the bends: no deformation, presence of plastic guides, check
tightness of the nut on the screw.
• Check of crimped termination: the ring must be in contact with the
terminal anchor. If there is any abnormal deviation, it means that there
has been slippage and that the lifeline needs to be checked by the
manufacturer or by an approved center.
• End plate: presence and tightness of nuts, condition of welds,
corrosion.
Note: the Identification plate and the absorber have an EPITAG electronic chip
containing all the necessary information about the lifeline (reference, serial
number, installation date, date and result of checks). Use a Palmo reader to
read and write information from and to the chip.
