INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE – RETEXO
Summary
C.A.M.P. Retexo are energy absorbers conforming to standard EN 355:2002 and according to the method
PPE-R/11.074 V1. Various models and standard versions are available, shown in tab.A. Other special connector
combinations and special lengths are available and the relative data are provided on the product marking. This
product is intended for use in a fall arrest system to protect against the risk of falls from a height.
EN 355 Vertical Use
). It is
calculated using the following equation: Fall Factor = Height of Fall / Length of Lanyard. In situations where the Fall
Factor will be 0 (e.g. the worker is positioned under the anchor point on a tensioned lanyard) or in situations where
the Fall Factor is 1 positioning equipment is adequate. Fall arrest equipment must be used for other situations
where the Fall Factor is same or greater than 1, for example Retexo. The harness attachment loop [4] must be
only connected to one sternum or dorsal connection point of an EN 361 full body harness ( ): do not connect
Retexo to an EN 358 work-positioning belt attachment point ( ) or to the attachment point for an EN 813 sit
harness ( ). Do not connect Retexo to the gear loops or other components of the harness: danger of death!
( ). The anchoring point attachment loop [5] must be connected to the structural anchor point which must be
preferentially located above the work area and must comply with the EN 795 standard and/or must have a known
resistance of 12 kN (metal anchors) or 18 kN (fabric anchors). For short connections, it is possible to connect using
the anchoring point attachment loop [5] of the energy absorber [1]. All the connectors used must comply with EN
), that the lever closes ( )

to transverse stresses ( ). Refer to the instruction manual for all the components for use with Retexo to
check for compatibility. The maximum length of the system composed by energy absorber + EN 354 lanyard + EN
362 connector must not exceed 2 m ( ): never insert other elements that increase the length beyond this
limit ( ). The maximum user weight (including equipment and tools) is indicated in tab.A and on the product
marking. Avoid connections that can compromise the energy absorption or the product resistance ( ). With
reference to , exactly calculate the clearance distanced needed so that after the fall the operator does not hit
height situations.
Clearance under the user's feet, Hf. Use the Hf data for the general calculations relative to the
walking surface.
Supplies the absorber extension data (distance B).
PPE-R/11.074 V1 Horizontal use
Retexo have successfully passed the tests for horizontal use over sharp edges with radius 0.5 mm (PPE-R/11.074
V1). They can therefore be used on horizontal and sloping structures where the edges have radius >=0.5 mm; always
take account that use over sharp edges has additional risks and should therefore be limited as much as possible.
