2.0 Description
The FT-X Cable Class 2 Leading Edge SRL-P is a self-retracting device for those working at height and
TM
may be subject to fall hazards, including leading edge hazards.
This manual includes one Appendix containing figures and tables specific to the FT-X
discussed in this manual. The SRL discussed in this manual may be attached to an overhead
anchorage, i.e., from directly over the user's head, or to an anchorage at a maximum of 5' below the
user's FBH dorsal D-ring.
Leading edge means the unprotected side and edge of a floor, roof, or form work for a floor or other
walking/working surface (such as deck) which changes location as additional floor, roof, decking, or
form work sections are placed, formed, or constructed; see Figure 1.
As shown in Figure 2 below, the FT-X Cable has a nylon housing that contains a galvanized wire rope
(cable) lifeline wound onto a spring tensioned drum. The FT-X Cable lifeline is equipped with a lifeline
stop and a leg-end connector. When the user is attached, the lifeline extends and retracts with the user
movement, automatically maintaining taut lifeline. If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system engages,
stopping the lifeline payout. In a fall event, the SRL-FBH Connector will break away from the Shear
Connector, and the integral Energy Absorber (EA) will deploy, gradually slowing and arresting the fall.
See Table 1A in Appendix A for product, material, and performance specifications.
