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 cor-
rections 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 needed
that reduces dynamic forces to max. 6 kN.
– the lanyard including fall arrest systems and connec-
tion elements must not exceed 2 m.
– a clearance of 7m underneath the user is needed to
avoid ground impact.
MODES OF USE
This anchor device may be used in three different ways:
Use acc . to EN 566:
fig 1) as single loop
fig 2) as double loop
fig. 3) as constriction loop
Use / Limitations oF Use / secURity
The loops are wrapped around a climbing rope in a
Prusik hitch. They are used to position a person. The
enlacement must be performed correctly to retain the
required clamping effect and breaking force. Breaking
force at production acc. to EN 566: 22 kN Hitches in
the rope may considerably reduce the breaking force.
The product meets the requirements of the ANSI
Z133-2017 standard as regards the required minimum
breaking load (MBL) for climbing ropes and prusik
loops. It does not meet the diameter requirements
for climbing ropes. There exists no diameter re-
quirement for prusik loops.
3. LIMITATIONS OF USE
Never carry out work with this product if, as a result
of your physical and mental condition, your safety
might be compromised in scenarios of normal use
or in emergencies!
Do not place this product near sharp edges!
Care should be taken to ensure that the rope (or any other
part of the system) is routed away from surfaces that
may damage the rope (or any other component), or that
suitable and sufficient protection is appropriately placed to
ensure the rope and other components are protected. Keep
away from surfaces which may cause damage to the the
work equipment e.g.sharp or abrasive surfaces or edges.
The anchor device shall be used for personal pro-
tective equipment and not for lifting devices -as in
rigging operations!
