1. Description
1.1. General
The SecuRope Lifeline System is permanently installed on a building or other structure which needs
to be maintained by personnel exposed to the risk of fall when carry out their maintenance work.
The SecuRope lifeline consists of a stainless steel wire rope fixed onto the supporting structure by
anchors placed regularly along the cable. One or more persons can attach themselves to the cable
by means of a mobile anchor point (further referred to the glider). The SecuRope lifeline enables the
user to move freely to any point on the lifeline where there is a risk of falling without the need to
detach themselves from the cable at any time.
The user wears a harness according to EN 361 fitted with a lanyard and a connector according to EN
362 and is attached to the life line using a glider.

4. Instruction for resale
If the equipment is resold out of the first destination country, the reseller will provide instructions for
maintenance, for periodic reviews and instructions on repairs, in the language of the country of use.
5. Skills of the installer
The anchor device must be installed by competent persons or organizations that will have a
certificate of “approved installer” issued by Fallprotec.
The installation must be properly verified by calculation or testing.
The installation will be carried out in conformity with the Securope Installer manual DOC023-UK
6. Installation of Securope
The anchor device Securope is a horizontal lifeline system with a maximal inclination of 15°.
The user must be able to access and exit safely.
The installer must install the Securope lifeline so that the maximum angle at which the Securope
cable is allowed to penetrate or exit of the intermediate anchor does not exceed 15°.
The minimum clearance must be superior of the height of fall so that a falling user don’t hit an
obstacle during the fall.

User Manual
Securope 2012 horizontal
DOC039-UK-19.07.15

The height of fall is the sum of the terms given below :
-DDeflection: the deflection of the rigid anchor line
-HSafety : safety distance (1m)
-Fall clearanceRequired : minimal height calculated and required in case of a fall
-Fall clearanceAvailable : actual height available between the path and the first obstacle
-LPath : distance from the rigid anchor line to the edge
-LLanyard : lenght of the lanyard (< 2m)
-LAbsorber : deployment of the energy absorption system (< 0,8m)

If the height of fall is to large, Fallprotec advise mounting 20 mm crimping rings on both sides of
each anchor means. The free length of cable can then be reduced to 5 times the distance between
two successive anchors, see Fallprotec calculation software.
The installer will write on the warning plate the maximum deflection of the wire rope in case of a fall.
Fallprotec provides a software Securope V5.0 for the calculation of the deflection.
6.1. Structure on which the Securope is
installed
A competent person will check the strength of the structure in relationship with forces transmitted by
the end and intermediate anchors when a fall is stopped. Fallprotec makes software available,
approved by the notify body, which works out the forces in accordance with the site configuration and
the number of users.
The components of the Securope line withstand without permanent deformation the forces indicated
to table below and present a safety coefficient of two. The forces calculated by the software must be
lower than the allowable forces. If you note a force beyond the allowable force it will be necessary to
change one or more parameters of calculation, either to decrease the number of users or to decrease
the distance between two anchors.

8. Recommendations relating to the
documentation required after installation
New requirements of EN795:2012
For the user, the documentation on the installation provides evidence that the installation was
performed correctly. In addition, it serves as an essential foundation for further examination of the
anchor, because, in many cases, fixing anchors are not visible or accessible.
After installation, the installer sends the user copies of the documentation for the installation. This
documentation must be kept in the building for subsequent reviews of the anchor.
Documentation on the installation must contain at least the following information:
- The address and location of the installation;
- The name and address of the company that carried out the installation;
- The name of the person responsible for the installation;
- The product identification (manufacturer of the anchor, type, model / item);
- The fixing device (manufacturer, product, and transverse tensile forces eligible);
- The schematic plan of the installation, for example the roof, and information relevant to the user,
such as the position of the anchor points (for example relevant in case of snow).
Should be marked on the schematic plan of the building so that it is visible or available to all (for
example, at the point of access to the roof).
The statements made by the responsible installer must be signed by him and attest that at
least the anchor:
- Has been installed in accordance with manufacturer's installation instructions;
- Is consistent with the plan;
- Was attached to the specified support;
- Has been set as specified (eg, number of bolts, correct materials, position / location correct);
- Was put into service according to information supplied by the manufacturer;
- Came with photographic information / documentation, especially when the fasteners (eg bolts)
and the underlying support are no longer visible once installation is complete.
When several anchor points must be photographed for identification purposes, it is recommended to
mark the anchoring devices with numbers and incorporate this numbering in the inspection records of
the anchoring device and the ground plan in the installation area.
Fallprotec provides the installer with a model for the "Installer schematic plan"

oEach user must be equipped with :
oA suitable harness with two anchoring points, one at the back and one at the chest , in
conformity with the EN 361 standard,
oThe chest anchor point is the preferred point for anchoring the harness, the dorsal
anchoring point being used for rescue operations.
oAn energy absorber lanyard in conformity with EN 354/355 standard.
oTwo karabiners twist lock type in zinc plated steel, according to EN 362 and having the
following characteristics, length 105 mm, width 58 mm, wire diameter 10 mm, opening

oOn arrival in the work area, or whenever the user attaches to the cable, he is required to
check :
oThat the manufacturer’s label is in place, and that it mentions the maximum number of
users who can connect to the lifeline simultaneously
oThat the fall indicator has not been activated.
oThat the glider, the harness and the lanyard are in good, working condition
oThat there is no obstruction under the walk way that could reduce the clearance

oChecking the Fall Indicator
oThe fall indicator is installed on the end anchor equipped with an energy absorber. The
user can normally reach the side of the final anchor.
oThe indicator is a spherical steel part, which rests on an elastic seat.
oIn the event of fall, the spherical part penetrates into the elastic seat.
oIf the user sees that the sphere is no longer visible, he must inform a qualified person
of the situation before using the line.
