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 installa on, above or in the structure, designed to
accomodate a connected user and an an fall system according to UNI EN 363.
They're anchors for the protec on against fall from a height, designed for use in climbing, caving,
canyoning and mountaineering.
They're also tested according to EN 959:2007 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 a achment point for a connector.
The anchor device is tested according to UIAA 123-2 - 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 protec on against falls from a height
and not for li\ing equipment. This anchoring device is also designed for use in reten on.
Don't stress the product beyond its limits or in other different situa ons than that for which it is
intended. Check that the product is compa ble with the other materials you want to use: contact
Raumer if you are not sure of compa bility.
A7en on: ac vi es 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.

COMPATIBILITY
This product can be used in conjunc on with personal protec ve equipment, in compliance with
Direc ve 89/686 / EEC and in accordance with the instruc ons of use (if devices are compa ble
there is a good func onal interac on). An anchor must be compa ble to the device to which it is
connected; if the connec on is inconsistent, you can compromise the security features of the
system (release or break ...). Compa ble devices are, for example, manufactured and cer fied
harnesses according to EN 12277, dynamic ropes cer fied 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 hos le environment there will be obtained effects of galvanic corrosion.
Contact Raumer if you are not sure of the compa bility 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.
Instruc ons for each system are as follows:
