This manual relates to the Söll XENON anchor device. The complete list of the product reference is
available at you installer or your responsible customer service. (see. 5.2 contact).

persons against falls from height and simultaneously provides them with a great freedom of move-
ment. The cable guide can be designed to be straight or curved to 90°. The distance between two Söll
XENON intermediate brackets(2) can be between 2 m and depending on the cable type up to 20 m.
The energy absorber(1) mounted at the end of the cable(3) allows absorption of cable forces via “ener-
gy dissipation”. Special shuttles(4) are used for connecting a user to the cable, which allows the user

1.3 Limitations, capabilities and performance
a) Limitations and capabilities
Danger!
Failure to comply with these provisions will expose the user to risks of fall from height!
The Söll Xenon anchor device can be used to secure:
 max. 4 persons by using the 7x7, Ø8 mm stainless steel cable
 max. 7 persons by using the 1x19, Ø8 mm stainless steel cable
 max. 4 persons in overhead systems when using self retracting lifelines (SRL)
The distance between two intermediate brackets must not exceed 15 m for 7x7, Ø8 mm cable and
20 m for 1x19, Ø8 mm cable.
When self-retractable lifelines are used in a Söll XENON anchor system the maximum span length is
limited to 15 m and the weight of each self-retractable lifeline must not exceed 12 kg.

to be used in adventure/activity parks.
b) Performance
The maximum cable tension in case of a fall depends on several factors, i.e., span length, number of
the energy absorbers, number of users and the fall factor respective the free fall height.
The cable tension determines the forces which are passed to the end anchors and curve parts.
For each Xenon system, the expected forces must be calculated and proven to be admissible. The
Söll XENON anchor device has been designed so that:

Manufacturer’s installation instructions and installation suggestions as per the EN 795 standard and
Australian Standard AS/NZS 1891.4 must be followed at the time of installation. Installation details can
be found in the „Installation Guide“ provided separately.
In order to minimise the fall distance and limit the possibility of a free fall, please consider the location
of the anchor device and the work being carried out.
Ensure that the necessary fall clearance for arresting the falling user is not higher than the ground
clearance available on-site. Adjust the type and length of the coupling element accordingly. (For Aust-
ralian & New Zealand please refer to AS/NZS 1891.4.)

Note:
1. The energy absorber and the tensioner have a tensioning path limiter that prevents
excessive stretching of both thread ends and thus ensures that the functional capa-
bility is not hampered. Keep in mind that the energy absorber may get damaged if the
permissible pre-tension is exceeded.
2. If you notice a considerable resistance when unscrewing the thread ends before instal-

3.1 Forseable misuse
Every user must use a separate shuttle! Only the shuttles approved by the manufacturer should be
used.
Danger!
Be careful when using self-retractable lifelines which have not been tested in combination
with the horizontal anchor device. A swinging cable in case of a fall can affect the blocking
function of the self-retractable lifeline in certain circumstances. You must ensure that your
installer properly tests the lifelines.
