The anchor point for the flexible anchor line must be located above the user, if possible in a
vertical arrangement (see directions for use General - Anchor point).

Use of the accompanying fall arrester with horizontal application
The accompanying fall arrester, including flexible guide, was also tested for horizontal
Use of the accompanying fall arrester with horizontal application
employment and a fall over an edge was successfully simulated.
The accompanying fall arrester, including flexible guide, was also tested for horizontal
employment and a fall over an edge was successfully simulated.
A steel edge with radius R = 0.5 mm, without burr, was employed in this case. Based on this
test, the equipment is suitable in corresponding composition to be used over similar edges
(inquire with the manufacturer about this), such as are existing for example on rolled-steel
profile sections, on timber beams or on encased, rounded roof parapets.
Despite this test, in case of horizontal or sloped employment where a risk of fall over an edge
exists, the following must be considered as mandatory:
1. If the risk assessment carried out before the start of work indicates that the fall-zone
edge relates to a particularly 'cutting' and/or 'non-burr free' edge (e.g. an uncovered
parapet, trapezoid sheeting or a sharp concrete edge) then
• appropriate arrangements should be made before the start of work so that a
fall over the edge is ruled out
• an edge protector should be installed before the start of work or
• contact should be made with the manufacturer.
2. The anchor point of the flexible guide may not lie below the platform (e.g platform, flat
roof) of the user.
3. The deflection at the edge (measured between the two legs of the flexible anchor
line) must be at least 90°
4. The required clearance below the edge is at least 5 m
5. The subsystem is always to be employed so that no untensioned rope arises. A
length adjustment may be implemented only if the user does not move in the fall edge
direction in this case.
6. In order to limit a pendular fall, the working area and/or lateral movements from the
central axis to both sides should, in each case, be restricted to 1.50 m. In other
cases, no individual anchoring points rather e.g. fastening devices of Class D
according to DIN-EN 795 are to be employed.
7. Note: In the case of a fall over an edge, there is a risk of injury during the harnessing
action as a result of the falling person crashing into structural members and/or
structural parts.
8. Special rescue measures should be defined and exercised for the event of a fall over
the edge.
