auxiliary materials. The attachment point and the
anchoring must be capable of withstanding the
loads occurring in the worst conceivable case.
Even when fall energy absorbers (to EN 355) are
used as required by EN 363 (fall arrest systems),
the attachment points must be designed for
arrest forces of at least 12 kN, also refer to
EN 795 type B.
If a lanyard is used, be sure a maximum length of
2.0 m including energy absorber and connector
(including extension "FIX" if applicable) is not
exceeded.
Do not use equipment attachment loops for
attachment or securing!

SAFETY NOTES
If this product is combined with other components,
these may mutually affect safety. If this product
is used in connection with other components
of a rescue or fall arrest system, the user
must familiarize himself with and observe the
recommendations, notes and instructions supplied
with these components. Use only CE marked
components of personal protective equipment
(PPE) for protection against falling from a height.
If original components of the product are
modified or removed, the safety properties may
be influenced adversely. The equipment should
not be altered or remodelled or adjusted by use
of additional parts in any way not specifically
recommended by the manufacturer in writing.
Before and after use, check the product for
possible damage. Ensure fitness for use and
correct function. If in doubt concerning the
safety condition of the product, remove it from
use immediately.
Attention! The products must not be subjected
to damaging influences. This specifically includes
contact with caustic or aggressive substances
(e. g.: acids, lye, soldering fluid, oils, cleaning
agents) as well as extreme temperatures and
flying sparks. Sharp edges, moisture and icing
especially may substantially impair the loading
strength of textile products!
Climatic conditions for use (Fig. 8b)
The temperature range for continuous use of the
product (in dry conditions) is approx. –20 °C to
+55 °C.
Service life and replacement
The service life of the product mainly depends
on the type and frequency of use as well as on
external influences.
Products made of synthetic fibre (Polyamide,
Polyester, Dyneema®) are subject to some aging
even if not used. This particularly depends on the
intensity of the ultraviolet radiation and on the
climatic conditions.
