USE AND APPLICATION
The anchors Antrax Art. 298, Superstar Art. 160 – 119 – 518, Masterfix Art. 151 – 125 – 525, Radius Art.
519 – 520 – 521, are type A anchors, tested according to UNI 11578:2015, including fixed anchors points,
intended for permanent installation, above or in the structure, designed to accomodate a connected user
and an anti fall system according to UNI EN 363.
They're anchors for the protection against fall from a height, designed for use in climbing, caving,
canyoning and mountaineering.
They're also tested according to EN 959:2018 designed for use as rock anchors; rock anchors are defined
as anchor devices insert in a rock hole, held in place by resin (or expansion forces) and with an
attachment point for a connector.
The anchor device is tested according to UIAA 123 - rock anchors.
When the anchor device is used as part of a fall arrest system, the user must be equipped with the
necessary means to limit the maximum dynamic forces exerted on them during the arrest of a fall with a
maximum of 6 kN.
Warning: this anchor device must be used exclusively for protection against falls from a height and not
for lifting equipment. This anchoring device is also designed for use in retention.
Don't stress the product beyond its limits or in other different situations than that for which it is
intended. Check that the product is compatible with the other materials you want to use: contact
Raumer if you are not sure of compatibility.
It is possible to directly connect the rope to the eyelet of the anchor for the items Superstar, Masterfix
and Radius (they have eyelet with diameter> 9 mm).
Attention: activities involving the use of this device are all dangerous and high-risk and may also
involve in fatal injuries. Make sure you fully understand the use of this product and work out in how to
use it, to familiarize yourself with it and learn to know its performances and limits.

Markings should always be read for all the lifetime of the product and must not be removed.
It's recommended that the anchor device is marked with the date of the next or last inspection.
If the marking of the connector is no longer accessible after installation, it must be provided some
additional markings near the device.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
Depending on environmental factors, the anchors are potentially responsible for suffering from:
• galvanic corrosion
• corrosion
• SCC: Stress Corrosion Cracking
Our anchors are made of 316L stainless steel and therefore of class 2, suitable for environments that are
not aggressive enough to cause SCC; The environment in which they will be installed will be without signs
of SCC in evidence and not suspect, with few corrosive agents.
We recommend using a resin that has good durability and resistance (see website
www.raumerclimbing.com).
Risks of use and responsibility
This product should only be used by competent persons and who have received adequate training,
having been subjected to visual inspection by a trained and competent person.
It's yours responsibility to know this product, learn to use it, learn the proper tecniques and the safety
measures.

If the product is not for personal use (for exemple is of associations), we strongly recommend that the
stem
pre and post- use controls carried out by a competent person.
Check and make sure that all the anchors do not show signs of cracks or wear.

CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS
Before each use
Before each use, make sure that the product is:
–
in very good condition and working properly;
–
suitable for the use you intend to do: they are authorized only the techniques not crossed
out; any other use is forbidden: beware of death! The examples shown in the attached
form are just some of the wrong applications: there are many other more that is
impossible to list;
–
free of cracks, deformations and corrosions ;
Carefully check the state and the type of support in that you want to fix the product; if the rock is
cracked, etc. ... avoid it. If you have the minimum doubt about the safety and the effectiveness of the
product, replace it immediately.
During each use
Regularly check the state of the product and make sure you have correctly connected all devices among
themselves . Check visually the goodness of the anchor.
The resistance of natural/not natural anchors, in the rock, can't be guaranteed in advance, so It's
necessary a critical judgment by the user, to guarantee an appropriate protection.
Periodical inspections
It is not enough to check the material before and during use, but periodic checks must be made by a
competent person at least every 2 years for checks on the anchoring system and 4 years for checks on
the support structure and anchors. Pre and post use checks must be carried out by a competent person
(adapt the frequency according to the intensity and type of use and to the place where the anchor is
installed). When the checks are carried out it is necessary to report the results on a check sheet; this
must allow you to record a lot of data; the verification form must always be attached to the product
information note and can also be downloaded from the website www.raumerclimbing.com
Caution: You must make regular periodic inspections! The safety of users depends on the continued
efficiency and durability of the equipment.
We recommend to hold and fill the inspection sheet for each component, system and sub-system. You
can also download it from the site www.raumerclimbing.com
COMPATIBILITY
This product can be used in combination with personal protective equipment compliant with Regulation
(EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union and compatible
with the relative instructions for use (if there is compatibility of devices there is good functional
interaction). An anchor must be compatible to the device to which it is connected; if the connection is
incompatible, the safety functions of the system (release or breakage ...) may be compromised.
Compatible devices are, for example, manufactured and certified harnesses according to EN 12277,
dynamic ropes certified according to EN 892, connectors in accordance with EN 362 or 12275, etc ...
Warning: Please avoid the use of these anchors with others made of different materials. For example, do
not use plates made of stainless steel and galvanized steel anchors, because also in a modest hostile
environment there will be obtained effects of galvanic corrosion.
Contact Raumer if you are not sure of the compatibility of your device.
OPERATING MODE
Placing anchors using a resin glue is a simple but delicate process.
If not executed correctly, resistance to tensile and shear force can be seriously compromised.
There are two recommended types of resin glue:
A) BICOMPONENT EPOXY RESIN PACKAGED IN CARTRIDGES.
B) SYNTHETIC ACYRLATE RESIN PREDOSED IN GLASS PHIALS.
Attention: the use of polyester-based resins is not recommended.
We recommend using adhesives that offer adequate strength and long life.
The load-bearing of the anchor cannot be guaranteed if the rock in which it is installed is weak or not
very homogeneous, not consolidated or with micro-cracks. In these cases we recommend using the
anchor as long as possible.
Instructions for each system are as follows:
Method "A"
1. Choose an undamaged and solid area of rock away from edges.
2.
Strike theurface with a hammer to determine the rock consistency.
3. Drill a hole perpendicular to the placement surface. (Please note: the hole must be 2mm
