Inspection And Service - Protecta AM211 Bedienungsanleitung

nOtE:
• Capital Safety strongly recommends that all anchors be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions for use,
and with the installation requirements of EN 795 Class B and BS 7883 Class B (UK only).
• Proof loading is not required for through-hole installations in steel structure, unless required by the purchaser.
• Each of Fixed Anchorage Point must sustain the 500 kg proof load without showing any deformation, permanent yield, or
slip of the fastener. Any of these occurrences constitutes a failure. Any failure indicates that the type of fastener tested is
not suitable for use in the building material tested and must be rejected. The fastener manufacturer should be consulted
for recommendation of a suitable fastener for the base material.
• In the event of a failure, a suitable fastener must be acquired and re-tested. Any rejected anchors must be discarded and
their mounting holes plugged to prevent subsequent use.
• After testing the structural material should be carefully examined for cracking, or other signs of failure. This is essential
where an anchor is close to the edge of the structural material. For anchors near the edge of a structure, suitability of the
intended fastener should be verified with the manufacturer.

Table 1 lists inspection and service processes and their frequency. Servicing should only be performed by a trained
Competent Person. Do not use the Fixed Anchorage Point being inspected/serviced. A different anchorage point
and independent fall protection should be utilized.
Frequency
Before every
each year
use inspection/service:
X
Verify that all components of the attached safety
system are securely and correctly connected together.
X X
Inspect the Fixed Anchorage Point for defects in the
metal (excessive corrosion, wear, splits, cracks, bends,
etc.).
X X
Inspect the markings on the Fixed Anchorage Point
(see cover photo). All markings should be present and
legible.
X X
Inspect the fastener(s) and structural material for
damage that could affect the anchors holding strength.
Inspect the surrounding work area to ensure no
hazards or obstructions are present which may injure
the user or affect system performance.
X installations in masonry: Every 12 months, proof load test anchors installed in masonry (see Proof
Load Testing). Torque fasteners with a torque wrench to the manufacturer's recommended torque value.
Defective articles must be replaced.
X through-hole installations in metal: Every 12 months, visually inspect through-hole anchor
installations in metal for defects in the surrounding metalwork. Torque fasteners with a torque wrench to
the manufacturer's recommended torque value. Defective articles must be replaced.
IMpORtant: Extreme working conditions (harsh environments,
prolonged use, etc.) may require more frequent inspection. Record the
inspection/service date and results in the 'Periodic Examination and
Repair History' in the "General Instructions for Use and Maintenance"
.
(5902392)
IMpORtant: Equipment should be removed from use if pre-use
inspection creates any doubt about the equipment condition. Equipment
must not be put back into service until a competent person confirms in
writing that it is acceptable to do so.
IMpORtant: In the event of a fall and subsequent fall arrest, the
Fixed Anchorage Point must be withdrawn from use and inspected by a
competent person to determine if it can be returned to service. If it is
returned to service, this action must be recorded in the Inspection and
Maintenance Log in this instruction.
IMpORtant: To ensure user safety if the Fixed Anchorage Point is re-
sold outside the original country of destination, the reseller must provide
instruction for use, maintenance, periodic inspection and repair in the
language of the country in which the product is to be used.

Action:
Reconnect components which are not correctly
connected. Consult the manufacturer's User
Instructions for connection requirements.
If defects are sufficient to decrease the strength
of the Fixed Anchorage Point, remove the anchor
from service and replace.
If markings are not present or are illegible,
remove the anchor from service and replace.
Replace damaged fasteners. Re-install the anchor
in a new hole if structural material around the
mounting hole is damaged. Where the anchor is
installed in masonry with an adhesive anchoring
system, Re-install in a new hole.
