The Retractable Fall Arrester for horizontal usage is classed as a Personal Protecve Equipment
(PPE) by the European PPE Regulaon (EU) 2016/425 and has been shown to comply with this
Regulaon through the Harmonized European Standard EN 360:2002 & VG11 RFU # 11.060
This Retractable Fall Arrester for horizontal usage is designed to minimise the risk of/provide
protecon against the danger of falling from heights. However, always remember that no item
of PPE can provide full protecon and care must always be taken while carrying out the risk
related acvity.
Please consult AS/NZS 1891.4 for selecon, use, maintenance and training requirements.
• Self-Retracng Lanyard: Austli 915220 and 915230 retractable lanyards are suitable for
applicaons where the unit is mounted overhead, the line will remain generally vercal during
use keeping it taught and liming free fall to less than 0.6m (600mm).
• Self-Retracng Lanyard with Sharp Edge: Austli 915207 and 915210 retractable lanyards with
sharp edge (SE) are suitable for applicaons where the lifeline remains generally horizontal
during use and possible free fall is limited to less than 1.5m. Sharp Edge (SE) retractable’s have
an addional shock absorbing element at the user aachment point to assist with absorbing
the impact over the edge and reducing the force on the user to below 6kN and removing the
addional force that may cause the cable or webbing to shear. Sharp Edge units are approved
for vercal and horizontal use.
SAFETY INFORMATION
This Retractable Fall Arrester can be used as a part of a fall arrest system or as a part of a restraint
system. If using as a part of fall arrest system, a suitable anchor point (above the user’s head, at
least 12kN) shall be used. Aachments to the anchor points and other equipment shall be made
using Karabiners to EN362 with a minimum 6kN gate strength or ANSI.
The equipment is to be used specically in vercal as well as horizontal condion if it is Sharp
Edge (SE) marked.
• Material of the Lanyard:
for wire rope block - 4.8mm Galvanized steel wire.
for webbing block - 25mm polyester texle webbing.

HOW TO USE
Now Connect the hook at aachment end of Retractable to the dorsal aachment of
your full body harness. User is now safe to move in normal speed.
In the event of a fall, Retractable block locks and also minimizes the impact forces on
the body of user, both in vercal and horizontal direcon.
STEP 2:
Connect the anchorage eye of Retractable Block to a suitable anchorage point situated
either above the user’s head or in horizontal direcon using karabiners (EN 362 with
6kN gate strength or ANSI) & Ensure karabiner is locked.
STEP 1:
1. Ensure the medical condion of the user does not aect his safety in normal and emergency
use.
2. The equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
3. A rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.
4. Do not make any alteraons or addions to the equipment without the manufacturer’s prior
wrien consent. Any repair shall only be carried out by personnel trained by the manufacturer
& duly authorised by the manufacturer.
5. The equipment shall not be used outside its limitaon, or for any purpose other than that for
which it is intended.
WARNING
• The Retractable Fall Arrester should be the personnel property of the user.
• Ensure that the Retractable Fall Arrester is compable with other items when assembled into
a system.
• Usage with other un-compable items may be dangerous & hazardous as the safe funcon of
one item may be aected or interferes with the safe funcon of another.
• The user should carry out a pre-use check of the Retractable Fall Arrester, to ensure that it is in
a serviceable condion and operates correctly before it is used.
• The pre-use check shall involve checking of any wear or abrasion on wire ropes/webbing and
sign of corrosion if any on metal parts or any breakage of the casing.
• Withdraw from use immediately if there is any doubt about its safe condion or if it has already
arrested a fall, the equipment shall not be used again unl conrmed in wring by a competent
person that it is acceptable to do so.
• Ensure that the strength of the anchor device is greater than 12kN or min 15kN single anchor
point as per AS/NZS 5532 standard.
• Use karabiner conforming to EN 362 with minimum gate strength of 6kn or ANSI for connecng
to the anchor points.
ADVICE & INFORMATION

• It is advisable to use the dorsal aachment D-Ring of the harness for connecon to the
Retractable Fall Arrester.
• However if it is not possible for any reason, the chest aachment element may also be used.
• It is essenal to verify that a minimum 4ms height of free space is available below the user’s
feet & the ground level at the work place, so that in case of a fall, there will be no collision with
the ground or other obstacle in the fall path.
• Following condions may be hazardous & may aect the performance of Retractable Fall
Arrester:
(a) Extreme temperature
(b) Trailing or looping of Lanyards over sharp edges.
(c) Extreme acidic or basic environments.
(d) Abrasive or sharp edged structures which can damage the equipment.
(e) Pendulum falls.
• Ensure that manufacturer’s packing is used during transportaon to prevent damage. In case
original packing in not available, use polybag which is sealed to prevent moisture.
• It is essenal for the safety of the user that if the product is resold outside the original country
of desnaon, the reseller shall provide instrucon for use, for maintenance, for periodic
examinaon and for repair in the language of the country is which product in to be used.
• This is advised that Annual inspecon should be done by competent person & if any discrepancy
is found in product, service will be done at authorized service center only.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS PER VG 11
• It is possible to use a horizontal retractable type fall arrester over an edge type A (Sharp Edge
Units)
• It is recommended to avoid the loading of the retractable type fall arrester over edges.
• The retractable type fall arrester marked with edge symbol was also tested also for horizontal
use and a drop over a Type A edge has been successfully tested.(Sharp Edge Approved)
• Type A edge denion: A steel edge with a radius of r = 0.5 mm and without burrs was used
for the test. Due to this test, the equipment may be used over similar edges, as can be found
e.g. at rolled steel proles, at wooden beams or at a clad, rounded roof parapet. However,
the following shall be considered when the equipment is used in a horizontal or transverse
arrangement and a risk of a fall from a height over an edge exists:
1. If the risk assessment carried out before the start of the work shows that the edge is very
“cung” and / or “free of burrs” (such as in case of an unclad roof parapet, a rusty steel girder
or a concrete edge)
- relevant measures shall be taken before the start of the work to prevent a drop over the edge
or, before the start of work, an edge protecon shall be mounted or
- the manufacturer shall be contacted.
2. The anchor point should only be situated at the same height as the edge at which a fall might
occur or above the edge.

• In case of minor soiling, wipe the equipment with coon cloth or so brush. Do not use any
abrasive material. For intensive cleaning wash in water at a temperature between 250C to
500C using a neutral detergent. It should be allowed to dry by itself and be kept away from
open re or any other source of heat, Avoid direct sunlight.
• Store in cool dry place, preferably away from moisture, direct sunlight, extra acidic or basic
condions & sharp edges.

3. Allow adequate clearance of minimum 4 meters below, in order to avoid collision with the
adjacent structures or the ground in the event of a fall.
4. To aenuate a drop ending in a pendulum movement, the working area or lateral movements
to both sides of the centre axis shall be limited to a maximum of 1.50 m. In other cases, no
individual anchor points, but, eg., type C or type D anchor devices in accordance with EN
795:2012 shall be used.
a. The Retractable Fall Arrester Block can also be used with Type C anchor device.
b. The deecon of the anchor device shall be taken into account when determining the
