The connection and disconnection to the system must
always be carried out in an area without any risk of a fall.
1
Introduce the mobile anchorage device on the Lifeline in
case it is not a captive one.
2
The user moves smoothly all along the lifeline without
running.
3
The carabiner of the lanyard must be fixed directly to the
mobile anchorage device. **
5
To exit from the system (if the device is not openable),
the user must take it out at the end of the line with
through a tilting end stop. (If the glider is openable and
reachable, it should be stored in a dry place)
** If the system has no intermediate anchors, user can
connect directly to the lifeline with a carabiner.
It must have
the following
characteristics: twist lock type in zinc plated
steel, according to EN
362 / ANSI/ASSEZ359.12 , length 105
mm, width 58 mm,
section of 10 mm, opening 20 mm,
breaking strength 23 kN
3.1. Gliders
The user can walk as far from the line as his/her lanyard and the system itself allow it.
The glider by gravity takes the correct position to pass over the intermediate anchors without
needing any additional manual action.

The installation must be done so that in case of a fall no equipment touches a sharp edge or
something that can damage it.
The minimum clearance must be superior of the height of fall so that a falling user doesn’t hit an
obstacle during the fall.
The height of fall is the sum of the terms given below:
-DDeflection : the deflection of the rigid anchor line
-Lblocking : Locking distance of self retractable lanyard
-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 Life line to the edge
-LLanyard : lenght of the lanyard (< 2m)
-LAbsorber : deployment of the energy absorption system (< 0,8m)
-HUser : user’s height

8. Warnings
Marking of the equipment must be always visible.
Any modification of the system or equipment cannot be made without prior written
authorization of FALLPROTEC.
9. Maintenance
The durability of the system is function of the maintenance and the frequency (and intensity) of use. It
will also depend of the host structure and its capacity to keep its physical properties during the time.
If the anchorage device is used in a dusty environment, mobile anchor devices need to be cleaned
with soapy water. The lifeline is cleaned with soapy water or solvent if the environment is not
flammable. It must be thereafter dried.
The system must be stored in a dry place.
If the system is maintained, inspected, and used properly, the foreseen lifespan is 10 years.
10. Inspection
Before use, each system must be checked by a competent person following the Pre-use checking
list. If everything is correct, the warning plate will have the sticker “safe to use”.
Each system must be inspected annually or after a fall.
The inspection must be carried out by a certified/authorized installer (Also competent person if under
OSHA regulations).
The inspection must be registered on the Fallprotec portal www.assistant.fallprotec.com
The safety of the user is linked to the maintenance of the efficacy of the system and the resistance of
the equipment.
