or break ...).
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
See informational sheets about:
Installation
Make sure about the hardness, the nature and compactness of the rock on which you'll insert
the anchor.
Clean the rock and remove any friable part; create a pitch to put the Hang Fix and the plate. The
area for fixing the anchor must be absolutely massive. In addition to all the other evaluations, a
good method is to beat vigorously on the chosen area with a hammer. The "sing" of the rock
must be dry and clear, and not as an isolated and "march" plaque.
You perform the hole in the rock with an appropriate electropneumatic hammer-drill, taking care
to make it perpendicular to the drilling plane. The depth of the hole should be at least 5mm
longer than the total length of the Fix. Attention to the diameter of the drill bit: must be exactly
as the diameter of the anchor.
Clean the hole from the powder, blowing inside it with the help of a little tube.
At this point it is necessary to proceed to fix the plate Wing. After mounting the Hang Fix on the
plate you have to put the Hang Fix into the hole that you've made; hit with the hammer on the
head of the threaded fix and introduce it until when the plaque is tight to the rock. Orient the
Wing in the direction of the load that will be applied and then, with a hex wrench fix the nut,
operating a suitable torque, observing the estabilished torque.
See the attached technical data sheet.
Attention!!!
•
When using a plate , always make sure the nail is made of the same material and
that the diameter is compatible.
•
These devices are resistant to corrosion according with standards (excellent
resistance to corrosion in the interior, but not excellent environment or
surrounding area of the seaside - see general information/lifetime ) .
•
The installation must be tested in an appropriate manner, for example by
calculation or test.
•
The installer must be a responsible person or organization, who has received an
appropriate training.
•
Do not connect the rope directly to the WING plaque (see technical data sheet)!!!
•
The load bearing of the anchor can not be guaranteed if the rock in which it is
installed is not very homogeneous, not consolidated or with micro-cracks. In these
cases we recommend using the anchor with a HANG FIX as long as possible or
prefer a different type of anchoring system, or choose a different area in which to
install it.
Resistence
Our products comply with the requirements of EN 795: 2012/A and EN 959:2018 – see attached
technical data sheet.
They are also comply with the requirements of UIAA 123
Please note that the company Raumer disclaims any responsibility in case of improper
installation and/or use in inappropriate rocks or inappropriate environments or inappropriate
dowels.
Precautions for use
Attention: after a fall or a major impact, check:
•
rock around the anchor: there must be no cracks;
•
anchor: observe it visually and check that there are no cracks, deformation, and
•
verify that the anchor is not rotated or moved;
If you're in doubt replace it.
Use only if the external temperature is between -40 ° and + 50 ° C.
For safety purposes, it's essential to systems of arrest fall from a heigh, that the anchor point is
Art. 536 – 402 – 147 – 148 – 170 - 171
always placed, if possible, above the user; you use a complete safety belt; fixing is performed so
as to minimize potential falls and their height.
The position is essential for safely blocking a fall: carefully verify what will be the height of the
fall, length of rope and "pendulum" effect to avoid all possible obstacles (es. The ground, rubbing
against the rocks, etc.). Get used to always double systems, during your activities, for extra
security.
Always make sure that connectors inserted in their anchorage are free to move and position in
the right direction of load application.
COMPLEMENTARY STANDARDS INFORMATIONS
•
provide for a rescue plan and define the means to act quickly in case of difficulties
(It means to be trained to apply the appropriate rescue techniques).
•
allow a sufficient height under the user so, in case of fall, do not collide with
obstacles (remember that also the length of the carabiner can affect on the height
of the fall).
•
check to use the product with respect to government regulations and the safety
regulations in force.
•
respect all the instructions of use given in the general informations of each device
used or associated with this product.
•
attention: you need health fitness for the activities at height.
•
to the user of these devices must be provided all the instructions of use; the
retailers must deliver the device with these instructions, in the language of the
country of use, when It's sold out of the first country of destination.
It's a user responsibility to record and store with these instructions, the information provided in
the inspection sheet.
GENERAL INFORMATIONS
Life time
The potential life time of the Raumer's products is undefined (it is advisable to replace them
anyway after 10 years).
It is known that equipment may degrade progressively when it is used, so the actual life time of
the products can not be quantified precisely, but occurs when the product becomes obsolete in
the system or when it meets one of elimination.
The lifetime is also reduced considerably by the conditions and intensity of use: heavy use,
contact with chemicals substances, use near sea water or splashing water (in this case we
recommend the use our "Marine" anchors line, which are more resistant to corrosion of salt),
high temperatures, abrasions or cuts, damage to parts/components of the product, chemical
environments, mud, sand, snow, ice, competence of the user, violent shocks , storage, are some
of the factors that accelerating product wear.
Warning: the duration may be limited to only one use in specific conditions (contact with acids,
dangerous chemicals products, if the product suffers sharp falls or tensions, etc ... this list is not
exhaustive). In a marine environment or other potentially corrosive environments, it would be
better to use materials with high corrosion resistance , of class 1 , like titanium; we invites the
installer to monitor and inspect the anchors at regular intervals to check their status.
Attention: anchors installed in marine areas, on rocks containing ferrous inclusions or other
minerals of not certain nature, in some cases may suffer violent corrosive attacks that can
compromise its use even in very short time!
Attention: The life of the anchorage is limited in the case of an environmental stress corrosion
cracking SCC.
Elimination
Do not use the product:
•
after a violent fall, since no visible deformations could be considerably impaired
resistance;
•
if the result of the check is not satisfactory;
•
when you do not know the entire history of its use and when it becomes obsolete
and you have the slightest doubt about its reliability;
•
general wear of the plate and/or significant reduction of the section in
correspondence with the carabiner;
•
if there're cracks, wear or defects;
•
when corrosion severely alters the surface condition.
Destroy retired equipment to prevent further use.
