This manual explains how to properly use your equipment.
Only some uses and techniques are presented. Warning sig-
ns inform you of some potential hazards related to the use
of your equipment. Activities at height involve serious risks
not outlined in this manual, where each user is responsible
for managing such risks, their safety, their actions, and the
consequences thereof. If you do not accept this or do not
understand this manual, do not use the equipment. Contact
Accesus if you have doubts or difficulties understanding.
MODE OF USE
The anchorage element can be used as part of the personal
protection system that prevents falls from height by restric-
ting the user's movement, thus preventing the person from
reaching areas or positions where there is a risk of falling
from a height. The anchorage element must be tensioned
before reaching the fall risk.
1. Placement of anchorage element
The anchorage element has two sewn loops, with thimbles,
one at each end, which are used as connection points.
First, connect one end to a component of the fall arrest
system through a connector complying with Standard EN
362:2002. If the component has a connector at its anchora-
ge point, connect the end directly to the connector. Finally,
connect the other end of the anchorage element to the other
component to be connected.
NOMENCLATURE
1. Loop with thimble.
2. Stitching.
3. Polyester rope.
4. Label.
5. Adjustment buckle.
2. Types of use
Restraint (EN 354:2010):
The anchorage element prevents the worker from reaching
an area presenting a fall risk. There is no possibility of
a fall.
Positioning (EN 358:2018):
The positioning element allows the user to work with their
equipment under tension and hands-free. It is essential to
use a fall arrest complement such as an energy absorber in
combination with the positioning sling.
3. Requirements for safe external anchorage point
It is essential for safety that the anchorage device or
anchorage point is always in place, and work is carried
out in a way that minimizes both the risk of falling and
the height of the fall. The system anchor must be located
preferably above the user's position and must comply with
the requirements of Standard EN 795:2012 (minimum
resistance 12 kN for metallic anchorage devices and 18 kN
for textile anchorage devices).
4. Connector requirements
They must comply with Standard EN 362:2004 and
be compatible with the anchorage or other system

EN
components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible.
Incompatible connectors may accidentally disconnect.
Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength,
regardless of direction.
USAGE LIMITATIONS
Personal protective equipment should not be used by
individuals whose health status may affect user safety under
normal conditions of use or in an emergency. Personal
protective equipment should only be used by a trained
and competent person in its safe use. The total length of a
subsystem consisting of an anchorage element with integra-
ted energy absorber, its terminations, and connectors must
not exceed 2 meters. When using the equipment, ensure
it is not positioned in a way that the user may trip over it.
A fall arrest harness is the only acceptable body gripping
device that can be used in a fall arrest system. If this ancho-
rage element is part of a fall protection system, it must be
connected only to harness connection points marked with
the uppercase letter "A". The identification "A/2" indicates
that it is necessary to connect two connection points with
the same identification simultaneously. It is prohibited to
connect the fall protection system to a single connection
point identified as "A/2". Connection to the anchorage
point and other equipment must be made via carabiners
complying with EN 362:2002.
MATERIALS AND THEIR LIMITATIONS
During equipment use, special attention must be paid to
hazardous circumstances affecting equipment operation and
user safety, including:
- Accidental knot formation and movement of ropes over
sharp edges.
- Various deteriorations, such as cuts, abrasions, oxidation.
- Negative influence of weather conditions.
- "Pendulum" falls.
- Effects of extreme temperatures.
- Contact effects with chemicals.
- Electrical conductivity.
Materials: Polyester, aluminum, steel and plastic.
LIFESPAN
The equipment can be used for 10 years from the date of
manufacture. The maximum period of use depends on
intensity and usage environment. Using the device in harsh
conditions, frequent contact with water, sharp edges, extre-
me temperatures, or exposure to corrosive substances may
result in withdrawal from use even after a single use.
CLEANING
Personal protective equipment must be cleaned in a way
that does not cause adverse effects on the materials used
in the equipment manufacturing or the user. The cleaning
procedure must be strictly followed. For textile and plastic
materials (straps, ropes), clean with a cotton cloth or brush.
Do not use any abrasive material. For deep cleaning, wash
