CONNECTING OF THE WORKING ROPE TO STRUCTU-
RAL ANCHORAGE POINT
The guide (working rope) is to be connected to the
structural anchorage point by means of the
connector or anchoring device complaint with EN362 or
EN795 standard. The structural anchorage point should
has static resistance of min.12 kN. The shape and design
of the structural anchor point should not let self-acting
disconnection of the guide. It is recommended to use
certified and approved anchorage points conforming to
EN795.
CONNECTING THE DEVICE TO THE FULL BODY HARNESS: The connector of the rope grab must be
connected to front or back attaching point of full body harness,
marked with a capital "A" letter. The full body harness must com-
ply with EN361 standard.The arrow located on the front wall of
A
the guide must be directed up to the top end of the guide, towards
A
the anchorage point.
ATTENTION: Every time before using the equipment protecting
against falls from height that employs the EASY one needs to
check if all the components are properly interconnected to one
another and cooperate smoothly, as well as if they are
compliant with compulsory standards:
- EN 361 – for full body harness;
- EN 362 – for connectors;
- EN 795 – for anchoring devices;
ATTENTION: While ascending and descending over the first 2 meters above the reference level the
user might not be properly secured against hitting the ground while falling, thus special care must be
taken while working in this range of heights.
MAIN RULES WHILE WORKING WITH THE EASY DEVICE
The required free space "H" of minimum 3.5 m must be present underneath the user in order to safely
arrest the fall. If the guide (working rope) of the length greater than 20 m is used, the free space
underneath the user should be increased by 5% of the guide length. If the guide is attached to the
anchor point situated in the vertical line directly over the user, the maximum admissible deflection of
the working rope with respect to the vertical line equals 15° while the user moves horizontally with
respect to structural anchor point. See picture A. The device was tested according to VG11 11.075 and
it can be used while the user moves horizontally in places where fall over the edge is possible (e.g. on
flat roofs). The minimum edge radius must be equal to 0.5 mm (Picture D). If the edge is sharp or it
imposes high risk of rope damage, e.g. there are burrs, appropriate edge protection should be used.
The guide (working rope) anchorage point cannot be situated below the feet level of the user (Picture
E). The deflection angle of the guide over the edge while arresting the fall must be equal or greater than
90° (Picture D). While working the guide of the guided type fall arrester must be used used in such a
way that there is no slack rope. The length of the guided type fall arrester may be adjusted (sliding the
rope grab mechanism over the guide) if the user is not moving in the direction of the fall edge. In order
to eliminate the risk of pendulum type fall, the user is allowed to move horizontally not further than 1.5
m in both directions from the vertical axis of the anchorage point (see Picture C). Otherwise, instead of
a permanent anchorage point, one should use the anchoring device compliant with EN795 class C or
class D standard. If a horizontal anchor rope EN 795 class C is employed, one should consider its pos-
sible defection that influences the free space "H" below the work position. All the information presented
in the instruction manual of the horizontal anchoring line should be taken into consideration. The maxi-
mum total weight of the user protected with the EASY device must not exceed 100 kg. See picture B.
