• The carabiners provided with the device function and lock correctly.
• There is no trace of corrosion on the metallic parts.
• The cable or webbing does not show any sign of wear (tear, fraying, breaking, corrosion,
etc...)
A rescue plan and risk assessment must be established to deal with any emergency that
may occur and allow for the fastest possible evacuation under the best possible conditions.
4 - INSTALLATION/USE
a) CONVENTIONAL USE (CE EN360 approved)-(see 3 in Appendix C)
Use is deemed to be "conventional" or "vertical" when the device is connected to an anchor
point located above the user's shoulder level, i.e. around 2 m above floor level.
b) TERRACE USE (outside CE scope) VG11.060 Rev.8 (see 4 in Appendix C)
"Terrace" use is when the device is connected to an anchor point located at the level of the
user's feet or below the user's shoulder level (up to 2m above floor level). It is strictly forbid-
den to connect the equipment below the level of the user's feet.
The device has been tested for horizontal use and has also been successfully subjected to
a fall on an A-type edge. An A-type edge is a non-sharp steel edge free from burrs, with a
radius of r=0.5 mm.
However, to ensure that the device works correctly in "terrace" use, the following conditions
must be observed:
If the equipment is connected to an anchor point located at the level of the user's feet or
within 2m above floor level, the equipment must only be used on A-type edges, such as may
be found, for example, on steel profiles, wooden beams or roof parapets (clad or rounded).
If the equipment is used in "terrace" mode on a horizontal surface where there is the risk of
a fall onto an edge, and if the risk assessment carried out prior to work commencing found
that the edge is very "sharp" and / or "full of burrs" (as in the case of a unclad roof parapet, a
corroded steel beam or a concrete edge), it is essential:
• either to take appropriate measures before starting the work to avoid a fall onto the edge
• or protect the edge before work begins
• or contact the fall protection manufacturer.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in the lifeline failing and a major risk of a
To reduce the pendulum effect at the end of the fall, the working area or side movements to
either side of the central axis passing through the floor-level anchor point must be limited
to a maximum of 1.50 m. Beyond this limit, a class D anchor point, compliant with standard
EN795, must be used.
Other precautions:
Distortion of the anchor device must be taken into consideration when determining the
clearance required below the user's feet. For this purpose, the recommendations in the
anchor device instruction manual must be taken into consideration (e.g., arrow for portable
lifeline type C anchor).
In case of a fall onto an edge, specific rescue measures must be defined and users trained in
these measures.
4.1 Connection to Harness
To operate harness connector, engage two slide buttons and pull captured pin out with
pointer finger (see Fig. 1a & 1b).
Pull harness webbing straps away from D-pad (see Fig. 3a). Then align the harness connec-
tor and insert the captured pin behind both webbing straps, but in front of the D-pad (see
Fig. 3b & 3c). Make sure harness connector pin is captured between harness webbing straps
fall that could cause serous injury or death.
