SkyReach Anchor Safety instructions
General
The SkyReach Anchor is a product that has been designed to
prevent falls from heights, mainly during all work associated with
decking for horizontal formwork operations. Together with specific
attachments and certified Personal Fall Protection Equipment
(PFPE) it will create a personal fall protection system which
contributes to a safe workplace.
The SkyReach Anchor is also compatible to use with the
COMBISAFE Loading System MkII, which allows you to load and
unload flatbed vehicles in a safe manner.
The SkyReach Anchor is 3,1 metres high and the anchor boom is
2 metres long which allows the system to cover a working radius
of up to 8.5 metres and gives access to a surface area of close to
230 m2when used in conjunction with a Falcon 6.2 m retractable
fall arrest block. Due to the lightweight design of the SkyReach
Anchor, it can be manoeuvred and installed by a single person,
and it can also be moved by crane if that is preferred.
The SkyReach Anchor is tested to comply with
EN 795:2012 Type B standard, and is CE-certified by DEKRA
Testing and Certifiaction GmbH, Dinnendahlstraße 9, 44809
Bochum, Germany, with identification nr 0158.
Read carefully through this user instruction before using the
product. In case of questions and uncertainties, please contact
Combisafe for support.

Safety instructions
The SkyReach Anchor is intended for the purpose stated in this
user instruction only, any other use is not allowed. The SkyReach
Anchor is a personal fall protection anchor device, used to
protect workers operating at height. If used incorrectly there is
a potential risk of accidents to both the user and other people in
the vicinity. Please read this manual carefully before use.
• Under no circumstances may the product be used as a makeshift
crane or lifting/lowering device.
• Under no circumstances may any item other than those provided with
the system be used either in replacement or through choice as this
may affect the performance of the product.
• Care should be taken in the transportation of the product between
locations. If any damage is found on any part, the item must be
withdrawn from use, inspected by a trained person and replaced if
required.
• Care should be taken while installing the product and if any damage
occurs or is found on any part, the item must be withdrawn from use,
inspected by a trained person and replaced if required.
• The site location where the SkyReach Anchor is being used must have
a rescue plan in place, in the event of a fall arrest incident.
• The device is designed for use by one person at a time only. Under no
circumstances may multiple persons be attached to the device.
• If a crane is used as lifting device, be aware of the movements made
by the crane and keep workers at a safe distance.
• The SkyReach Anchor is designed to be used within a zero factor fall
arrest system. Make sure that the anchorage is always overhead and
the self- retracting lifeline is taut between the anchorage point and
the worker.
• The maximum vertical deflection of the anchor point that can occur
during service is 0,7 m.
• In case that SkyReach Anchor is re-sold outside the original country
of destination, it is essential that the reseller provides user instruc-
tions in the language of the country in which the system is to be used.
• When referring to included components not produced by Combisafe,
please refer to the specific user guide / manual for that specific item.

Safety instructions SkyReach Anchor
• When using a retractable fall arrest block, the certification of this
product is only valid when the prescribed block is used, hence it is
tested and approved in combination with the SkyReach Anchor.
• PFPE that is used together with the SkyReach Anchor must be
CE-certified and approved in the specific country of use.
• It is forbidden to use the products stated in this user instruction if
pregnant, suffering from cardiovascular disease, affected by alcohol
or drugs or other health issues that might affect your mental or physi-
cal capacity.
Always check products and equipment before use
Check all component parts of the SkyReach Anchor before
assembly. Never use damaged or rusty parts, as this can affect
safety. Refer to the check list in the Maintenance chapter which
must be followed prior to use.

Safety instructions SkyReach Anchor
Periodic inspection/inspection after a fall
To ensure the function and safety of the components, a safety
inspection of the SkyReach Anchor, the attachments and the
PFPE, needs to be done by a competent person at least once
every 12 months. The inspections must be documented into a
component record.
If an accident has occurred, e.g. a person has fallen, the items must
be immediately withdrawn from use and inspected by a competent
person according to the manufacturer’s safety check.
Please contact Combisafe for more information regarding
inspections and associated documentation.
NOTE
The SkyReach Anchor is designed to deform if a fall occurs, to
absorb the energy and reduce the arising forces. When tested,
the maximum vertical deflection of the anchor point is 0,7 m.
Rescue
If there is a need to rescue a person that has fallen, the
SkyReach Anchor can provide help by using a SafEscape Elite
(Part No. CM1028770) and Webbing Anchorage Sling (Part
No. CM1002918). By looping the sling round the lower section
of the mast of the SkyReach Anchor, a rescue operation can be
performed. It is not allowed to connect the SafEscape to the
anchor point of the SkyReach Anchor. Remember that a rescue
operation can only be performed by a person that has been trained
to use the SafEscape. Thus, no rescue method can be described
in this User Instruction. The operation needs to be planned by the
Safety Manager at the site and evaluated to the actual case with a
separate risk analysis.
Remember
• Plan the fall prevention at an early stage, this will benefit everyone.
• Use only safety-checked products.
• Restrict access below and around the installation and working area to
prevent injury to others from any fall hazard.
• Use tools designed for the type of work to be carried out.
• Keep the installation area in order.
• A safe workplace is a good workplace.
• Many fall accidents occur from a low height.

Technical data SkyReach Anchor
Personal Fall Protection Equipment
To create a complete system to protect the operative when working
at height, the SkyReach Anchor needs to be equipped with Personal
Fall Protection Equipment (PFPE). Figure 8 shows an example on
how to equip the SkyReach Anchor with recommended PFPE. All
PFPE that is used must be certified and approved in the specific
country of use.
The following PFPE is approved to be used together with the
SkyReach Anchor:
SRL
Fall Arrest Block certified to EN 360.
Only the Miller Falcon 6,2 m, Miller Falcon 10 m or Miller Falcon
Edge 6,2m, Miller Falcon Edge 9m has been tested and approved
in combination with the SkyReach Anchor, and thus the only SRL
(Self Retracting Lifeline) that will enable the system to be CE
certified. Use of other SRL will invalidate the CE certification.
Harness
Full body harnesses certified to EN 361
Lanyard
Non shock absorbing lanyards certified to EN 354
Can be used separately or in combination with EN 355 certified
lanyard, or with a max length of 0,6 m in combination with the
Falcon block.

SkyReach Anchor Technical data
Latex Cone (Art. 100608)
The Latex Cone is a weather protective gasket which is placed onto
the mast of the SkyReach Anchor, see Figure 15. The purpose is to
prevent water and dirt getting into the Cast-In Sleeve when the
SkyReach Anchor is in place in the sleeve, and therefore preventing
the SkyReach Anchor from becoming frozen in the sleeve. Since it
is made out of Latex it is flexible and can be pulled from the bottom
of the mast and up onto the widest section of the mast.
Make sure the Latex cone is pulled high enough so that the
Insertion Marking Label is still visible, place the SkyReach Anchor
into the Cast-in Sleeve according to the Assembly chapter. When
it is correctly installed, the gasket can be pulled down to cover the
opening of the sleeve.

Attachment installation
Cast-In Sleeve installation
1. After pouring concrete into the column mold, place a Cast-In
Sleeve in the upper side of the column while the concrete is still
wet. The Sleeve has to be protruding 30-80 mm above the top
surface of the column. See Figure 16. The Sleeve will be used as
housing for the SkyReach Anchor.
Figure 16. Placing the Cast-in Sleeve body into the concrete
column
2. Remove the plastic plug from the top of the Cast-in Sleeve and
use the levelling element to make sure that the sleeve is in a
vertical position, see Figure 17. Prescribed tolerances have to
be respected.

NOTE
During concrete hardening, uplift of the Cast-in Sleeve may
occur. To prevent this, the tube should be encumbered or
alternatively may be wired to rebars to keep the protruding
tolerance.
In Figure 18, the cross-section area of a column, and the acceptable
position of the Cast-in Sleeve, is shown. The acceptable position
of the sleeve is varying depending according to the following
formula:
Cmin=maximum value of (dg+5mm);(Øbar);(20 mm), where:
Cmin: minimum distance between the outer surface of the Cast-in
Sleeve and closest reinforcement bar
dg: maximum size of aggregate used in concrete
Øbar: maximum diameter of any of the reinforcement bars used in
the column
