User Instructions must always be available to the user and are not to be removed except by the user of this equipment. For proper use, see
supervisor, User Instructions, or contact the manufacturer.
Compliant fall protection and emergency rescue systems help prevent serious injury during fall arrest. Users and purchasers of this
equipment must read and understand the User Instructions provided for correct use and care of this product. All users of this equipment
must understand the instructions, operation, limitations and consequences of improper use of this equipment and be properly trained
prior to use per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.503 or applicable local standards. Misuse or failure to follow warnings and instructions
may result in serious personal injury or death.
Purpose
The BTA 012 N is an anchorage connector designed to function as an interface between the anchorage and a fall protection, work positioning,
rope access, or rescue system for the purpose of coupling the system to the anchorage. Any references to “anchorage connector” in this
manual include, and apply to, the The
BTA 012 N .
Use Instructions
1. Before using a personal fall arrest system, user must be trained in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR
1910.66 in the safe use of the system and its components.
2. Use only with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems. The anchorage must have the strength capable
of supporting a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of at least 5,000-lbf (22.2 kN) in the absence of
certication.
3. Use of this product must be approved by an Engineer or other qualied person to be compatible with any and all structural
& operational characteristics of the selected installation location and system to be connected to this anchor. Improper use
may result in serious personal injury or death.
4. The anchorage connector must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration. If defective
components are found the anchor connector must be immediately removed from service, in accordance with the
requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502.
5. The complete fall protection system must be planned (including all components, calculating fall clearance, and swing fall)
before using.
6. A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place that provides the prompt rescue of users in the
event of a fall, or assures that users are able to rescue themselves.
7. After a fall occurs, anchorage connector must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.
Use Limitations
1. The anchorage connector is designed for a single user, with a capacity up to 310 lbs (140 kg) user including clothing, tools,
etc.
2. The
anchorage connector may be pulled in any direction shown in the LOADING CONDITIONS DIAGRAM.
3.
The Anchorage connector is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to +130ºF (-40°C to +54°C).
4. Do not expose the
anchorage connector to chemicals or harsh solutions which may have a harmful eect.
5. Do not alter or modify this product in anyway.
6. Caution must be taken when using any component of a fall protection, work positioning, rope access, or rescue system near
moving machinery, electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces, as contact may cause equipment failure, personal
injury, or death.
7. Do not use/install equipment without proper training by a“competent person” as defined by OSHA 29 CFR 1926.32(f).
8. Do not remove the labeling from this product.
9. Additional requirements and limitations may apply depending on anchorage type and fastening option utilized for
installation. All placements must be approved by an engineer or other qualied person. Improper use may result in serious
personal injury or death.
COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS
All anchor connectors must only be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snaphooks from being engaged
to certain objects unless two requirements are met: it must be a locking type snaphook, and it must be “designed for” making such a
connection. “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snaphook specifically designed the snaphook to be used to connect to the
equipment listed. The following connections must be avoided, because they can result in rollout* when a nonlocking snaphook is used:
• Direct connection of a snaphook to horizontal lifeline.
• Two (or more) snaphooks connected to one D-ring.
• Two snaphooks connected to each other.
• A snaphook connected back on its integral lanyard.
• A snaphook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
• Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snaphook dimensions that would allow the
snaphook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snaphook.
*Rollout: A process by which a snaphook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to which it is coupled.

MAINTAINANCE, CLEANING AND STORAGE
Cleaning periodically will prolong the life and proper functioning of the product. The frequency of cleaning should be determined by
inspection and by severity of the environment. Clean with compressed air and/or a sti brush using plain water or a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use any corrosive chemicals that could damage the product. Wipe all surfaces with a clean dry cloth and hang to dry, or use
compressed air. When not in use, store anchorage connectors in a cool, dry, clean environment, out of direct sunlight and free of corrosive or
other degrading elements.

Installation:
1. Locate a structural steel beam ange capable of withstanding a 5,000-lb.
Static load or meeting OSHA 1926.502 requirements for a safety factor of
two. (Max beam ange thickness of 7/8” or 23mm) Mounting location must
be approved by a Engineer or qualied person.
2. Push up on the toggle plate to allow the adjustable rollers to move.
3. Fit the rollers over the edges of the beam ange, keeping the unit perpen-
dicular to the beam.
4. Slide the adjustable rollers so that both sets of rollers are full resting on
the beam ange.
5. Release the toggle plate and pull back on the adjustable rollers to ensure
the ratchet teeth are fully seated in the nearest ratchet notches.
6. Tug, rock, and twist the anchor in all directions to ensure that it cannot
come o of the ange.
7. Screw tight the secondary saftey locking screws on the bottom of the
toggle plate to insure the rollers can not move o the edge of the ange.
8. The rollers must ride on a clear surface. Remove any dirt and grit if nessary.
9. Ensure that Beam Trolley can not slide o the end of the beam it is
attached too. Install stoppers if necessary.
*Always re-adjust according to steps 1-9 above when moving to a new
or dierent size beam.
