1. DESCRIPTION
The FallTech® Heavyweight® Cable SRD is a self-retracting device for those working at height and subject to
fall hazards. The Heavyweight Cable SRD is designed for those users with a combined (clothing, tools, etc.)
total weight of between 250 lbs and 425 lbs only.
This manual contains two Appendices, Appendix A and Appendix B. Appendix A contains figures and tables
specific to the HeavyWeight Cable SRD discussed in this manual. Appendix B contains figures and tables
applicable to fall protection equipment in general. All figure, table, and chart references in this manual are to
Appendix A unless otherwise noted.
NOTE: Appendix B contains figures and tables applicable to fall protection in general. Appendix B contains
references to ANSI Z359. The FallTech HeavyWeight SRD is not ANSI compliant, Appendix B ANSI references
notwithstanding.
For purposes of this manual, the HeavyWeight Cable SRD may be referred to as the SRD, the equipment, the
device, the product, or the unit.
The SRD consists of a main handle or connector attachment point on a cast and machined aluminum housing.
The housing contains various lengths of lifeline composed of galvanized or stainless steel cable wound onto a
spring-tensioned drum. The SRD lifeline is equipped with a spring bumper to reduce retraction freewheel
shock loads.
NOTE: Freewheel refers to the uncontrolled retraction of the cable into the housing. Always maintain control of the
cable and do not allow the SRD to retract the cable in an uncontrolled manner, as this could damage the unit.
The leg end of the lifeline is equipped with a swaged eye utilizing a steel thimble to which a load-indicating
swivel carabiner is attached. See Table 1A for product and materials specifications and ratings. See Figure 1 for
an illustration of the product. When the user is attached, the lifeline extends and retracts, automatically
maintaining a taut lifeline. If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system locks and applies a brake, slowing and
arresting the fall.
1.1 Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) The SRD
discussed in this manual meets OSHA regulations 1926.502.
The SRD discussed in this manual is not compliant with ANSI Z359.
