5 Use limitations

The Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor has been
tested in compliance with the requirements of
EN 795:2012 Type B and ANSI/ASSE Z359.7
Type A. Compliance and testing covers only the
hardware and does not extend to the anchorage
and substrate to which the anchors are attached.
PLAN: Establish a plan as to where the Reusable
Swivel Concrete Anchor will be installed and
when during the construction process.
CONCRETE SPECIFICATION: The Reusable Swiv‑
el Concrete Anchor must only be mounted in
minimum C20/25 concrete.
ANCHORAGE: The Reusable Swivel Concrete
Anchor must only be used on structures capable
of supporting loads applied in all directions per‑
mitted by the fall arrest system of at least: A) no
less than 22,2 kN (5000 pounds) for non‑certified
anchorages; or B) at least two times the maxi‑
mum arresting force for certified anchorages;
C) according to ANSI Z359.6, Specifications and
Design Requirements for Active Fall Protection
Systems or when strength is unknown.
SUBSTRATE: Concrete substrates to which the
Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchors are attached
must be in good condition and free of cracks,
holes, air pockets, holes, or defects that may
weaken the substrate. Concrete substrates must
be secured to the building and be able to support
anchorage requirements. Only connect the Re‑
usable Swivel Concrete Anchor according to the
instructions.
LOAD
ACCEPTABLE
180°
360°
Do not attach Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor
to deteriorated concrete, unstable structure, par‑
tially constructed substrates, unknown concrete,
or structure that will not qualify as an anchorage.
DIRECTION OF LOADING: Reusable Swivel
Concrete Anchor can be loaded in all ranges
illustrated.
CONNECTION: Only one travel restraint, work
positioning, fall arrest, or rescue system may be
attached.
EXTREME TEMPERATURE: The Reusable Swivel
Concrete Anchor is designed to be used in tem‑
peratures ranging from ‑34°C to +54°C (‑30°F
to +130°F). Protection should be provided when
used near welding, metal cutting or similar activi‑
ties. Contact Zarges with any questions concern‑
ing extreme temperature environments.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS: Use extreme caution
when working near high voltage power lines
due to the possibility of electric current flowing
through the Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor or
connecting components.
RESCUE: In the event of a fall over the edge, spe‑
cial rescue measures may be required. A rescue
plan must be in place.

6 Compatibility limitations

All connecting subsystems must only be coupled
to compatible connectors. Applicable standards
prohibit snap hooks from being engaged to cer‑
tain objects unless two requirements are met:
snap hook must be a locking type and must be
"designed for" making such a connection. "De‑
signed for" means that the manufacturer of the
snap hook specifically designed the snap hook to
be used to connect to the equipment in question.
The following connections must be avoided
because they can induce that the snap hook or
karabiner disengages unintentionally from anoth‑
er connector or object when a non‑locking snap
LOAD
hook is used:
ACCEPTABLE • Direct connection of a snap hook to horizontal
lifeline.
• Two (or more) snap hooks connected to one
D‑ring.
• Two snap hooks connected to each other.
• A snap hook connected back on its integral
lanyard
• A snap hook connected to a webbing loop or
webbing lanyard.
