Compatibility
When making connections with RTFA, eliminate
all possibility of roll-out. Roll-out occurs when
interference between a hook and the attachment
point causes the hook gate to unintentionally
open and release. All connections must be
selected and deemed compatible with this
RTFA. All connectors must be EN362:2004
approved.
See Diagram B on page 18.
This RTFA is recommended for use with the
following products:
Anchorage EN795:2012 or 1997+A1:2000
compliant systems.
The ATOM-X (excluding ATOM-XTREME
and ATOM-X
) has been assessed for
2
compatibility with the following temporary
horizontal lifelines:
Checkmate Webbing HLL #14663; 14665
Checkmate Retractable HLL #14664
WARNING!
ATOM-XTREME & ATOM-X
are not to be used when anchored to
any Class C or D anchor devices, unless
written verification has been obtained from
Checkmate.
Harness EN361:2002 compliant harnesses.
WARNING!
If the user weighs between
100-150kg (ATOM-X and ATOM-XTREME)
or 100-136kg (ATOM-X
equipment in the PFAS for use in fall

Maintenance, Cleaning,
and Storage
Maintenance and cleaning after use is important
for maintaining the safety and longevity of
equipment. Remove all dirt, corrosives, and
contaminants from equipment before and after
each use. Textiles must only be cleaned with
plain water (not exceeding 50°C), or if plain
water is not sufficient, with mild soap/water
solution and left to dry naturally out of direct
sunlight and away from direct heat sources.
Never store when equipment is wet. Never
clean equipment with corrosive substances.
When not in use or during transport, store
equipment where it will not be affected by heat,
light, excessive moisture, chemicals, or other
degrading elements.
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient
clearance below the work surface to arrest a
fall before the user strikes the ground or an
obstruction. When calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 1m safety factor,
deceleration distance, user height, length of
lanyard, harness stretch, free fall, swing fall, and
all other applicable factors. A Competent Person
must check all components of PFAS to calculate
fall clearance required.
See Diagram A on page 17.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use,
eliminate or minimise all swing fall hazards.
Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly
above the location where a fall occurs. Always
work as close to in line with the anchor point
as possible. Swing falls significantly increase
the likelihood of serious injury or death in the
event of a fall. Swing fall must be included in fall
clearance calculations.
