Product Specific Applications
Restraint: Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LEs may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems
prevent workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully
deployed length of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions
permitted by the system of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may
only be used on surfaces with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal,
Chest, Side, Shoulder.
!
WARNING
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
Personal Fall Arrest: Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LEs may be used in Personal Fall Arrest
applications as a component of a MAXIMUM 1 Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). Structure must
withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. Applicable
D-ring: Dorsal.
• Free fall, LE Use: Maximum 5’.
• Free fall, non-LE Use: Maximum 2’.
For all applications, worker weight capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment):
LE Use: 130-310 lbs.
Non-LE Use: 130-420 lbs.
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient
clearance below the anchorage connector
to arrest a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When calculating
fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2’
safety factor, deceleration distance, user
height, length of lanyard/SRL, harness
stretch, and all other applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make
considerations for eliminating or minimizing
all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when
the anchor is not directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always work as close to
in line with the anchor point as possible.
Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood
of serious injury or death in the event of a fall.
Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LE recommended
fall clearance (does not factor in any potential
swing fall hazards). Clearance numbers specified
based on lifeline installed vertically overhead
and in-line with worker:
• LE Use: 13‘-17’
• Non-LE Use: 5½’ (no free fall) to 7½’ (maximum 2’ free fall)
*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever
possible! If Swing Fall exists,
always account for additional
fall clearance.

Components and Specifications
Compatibility: When making connections with Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LE, eliminate all possibility of
roll-out. Roll-out occurs when interference between a hook and the attachment point causes the hook gate to
unintentionally open and release. All connections must be selected and deemed compatible with Diablo Cable
Tie-Back SRL-LE by a Competent Person. All connector gates must be self-closing and self-locking, and
withstand minimum loads of 3,600 lbs. See the following for examples of compatible/incompatible
connections:

Installation and Use
!
WARNING
In tie-back applications, snap hook must ONLY be attached
to tie-back webbing. NEVER attach snap hook to cable lifeline.
1. All PFAS components must be selected and deemed compatible with Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LE by
Competent Person.
2. Ensure structure to which Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LE is to be attached, and on which work is to be
performed, is free of all hazards, including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust, sharp or abrasive edges and
surfaces, and hazardous materials.
3. Eliminate or minimize all risk of swing fall hazard.
4. Ensure 100% tie-off will be maintained at all times, which may require the use of a back-up or
supplementary fall protection system.
5. Always minimize lifeline contact with sharp or abrasive edges and surfaces.
6. For Dual-Leg Kit, only work with one leg attached, except when transitioning between anchor points. When
transitioning between anchor points, first connect second leg to applicable anchor point, then disconnect other
leg from previous anchor point prior to beginning any work. Always ensure 100% tie-off is maintained.
7. Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LE may be used in either tie-back or standard applications. Adhere to the
applicable method of installation and use.
Always use Diablo 2.5 Cable Tie-Back SRL-LE in combination with anchor
point that eliminates as much slack in lifeline as possible. Competent
Person must ensure that anchor point location will not introduce
potential free fall greater than what is permitted by the system.
