ficient strength for the purposes of supporting any
foreseeable loading in cluding that in an emergency
contingency. Prior to using it have the anchor device
checked by a competent person.
The product can be used as a belay for the rescuer
after a single fall – this must only be done if a
suitable structural anchor (tree / branch) is chosen.
(After all, in the type examination, dynamic loading
was tested twice without making any readjustments
of or other corrections to the anchor device.) The
structural anchor (tree / branch) must withstand
more than 12 kN.
– Always attune the length of the anchor device to the
object it is looped around.
– A work positioning system must always be main-
tained as taut as possible from the anchor point to
the belayed person (avoid rope slack).
– WARNING:
When working with fall arrest note that
- an energy absorber according to EN 355 is need-
ed that reduces dynamic forces to max. 6 kN.
- the lanyard including fall arrest systems and
connection elements must not exceed 2 m.
- a clearance of 7m underneath the user is needed
to avoid ground impact.
MODES OF USE
Pic. a) as choke sling
Pic. b) as single sling
Pic. c) as double sling
PRODUCT INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO
EN 795, CLASS B
In individual tests conducted under laboratory
conditions, the following breaking strengths were
measured for the various configurations shown in
pics. a to c. These values are merely rough reference
values, e.g., as the diameter of the object the sling is
wound around will have a major impact on the result.
Pic. a : choke sling on a 34mm diameter bolt: 35 kN
Pic. b: single sling wound around a drum having a
diameter of 250 mm: 20 kN
Pic. c: double sling wound around a drum having a
diameter of 250 mm: karabiner breakage at 40 kN
USE TO EN 354
This lanyard can be used in three possible ways:
A. In a work positioning system (EN 358):
The lanyard is used for positioning the user at the
work site (e.g. work on pylons) so as to allow him/her
to have both hands free. Maximum length including
connectors: 2,0 m
B. In a restraint system (EN 358):
The lanyard prevents the user from reaching a
place from where he/she might fall down (e.g. when
performing work on flat roofs).
Maximum length including connectors: 2,0 m
C. In a fall arrest system (EN 363):
The lanyard catches the user in the event of a fall.
In such case, however, the use of an additional
energy absorber is indispensable, and the lanyard
needs to be fastened to a suspension eye of a
full-body harness.
Maximum length including connectors and shock
absorber: 2,0 m
Only such configurations of lanyards and energy
absorbers may be used that are described as ac-
ceptable in the manufacturer's information leaflet
provided together with the energy absorber. Check
energy absorber and lanyard for their compatibility.
1) Regarding scenarios A and B: Attachment of
the lanyard to a work positioning harness:
The lanyard is fastened to a suspension eye using a
karabiner (to EN 362) (pic. 1). Then, the other end of
the lanyard is connected to either another suspen-
