mechanical, chemical, sharp edges, etc.
When in use, regularly check the adjustment and/or xing components.
7-1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Appendix 2 page 8-9.
7-2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The automatic fall-arrest block must be attached by its carabiners. (see section 7-3). When the user is
moving around or being moved, the strap must be held under tension by the retracting spring built
into the apparatus. In the case of a fall, the internal blocking system stops the strap from unrolling,
thereby arresting the fall under optimal conditions.A warning ag is included and will be exposed
should the lifeline be subjected to fall arresting forces (equipment to remove from service).
7-3 INSTALLATION PRINCIPLE
Connection:
The retractable type fall arrester harness must be connected to a reliable anchorage point by
its handle or by a connector, a lanyard, a bre-type sling compliant with standards EN 362.
The connector situated at the end of the cable or of the strap of the equipment must be
connected to the dorsal fall arrest anchorage point of the harness. Appendix 3 See marking,
page 207 (7O)
he connector attached to the retractable strap of the apparatus must be connected to the
anchor point of the structure See gure 7
ATTENTION DO NOT ATTACH THE STRAP OF THE FALL ARRESTER TO OTHER POINTS THAN THOSE
INTENDED FOR THIS SYSTEM DO NOT ATTACH IT DIRECTLY TO THE WEBBING, ON THE ADJUSTMENT
ELEMENTS OR ON THE ACCESSORY HOLDER See gure 8
NT90024026 IND A.indd 16 20.3.2015 13:41

7-4 OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Regardless of the type of use, the apparatus must be installed on the harness so that the absor-
ber is connected to dorsal D attachment point.(A marking)
a) STANDARD USE (|EN360 approval)See marking, Appendix 3, page 207 (7J)
“Standard”use is considered to be when the end of the retractable cord of the apparatus is connected
to an anchor point situated inside the perimeter of a circle with a 2 m radius centred on dorsal D point
of the harness (with the exception of the grey area between the user’s knees and feet, i.e. approx. 0.5
m above the ground see gure 2a).
b) TERRACE USE
(out of |EN360 approval) Appendix 3 See marking, page 207 (7L)
“Terrace”use is considered to be when the end of the retractable cord of the apparatus is connected
to an anchor point situated at the user’s feet or just above them (within 0.5 m above the ground). It
is strictly prohibited to connect the equipment under the user’s feet (hatched area see gure 2a).
The apparatus has been tested for horizontal use and has also been successfully subjected to a type
A fall-arrest. This involves a fall over a non-cutting steel ridge with no burrs and radius r = 0.5 mm.
However, correct operation in «terrace» mode requires meeting the following requirements:
If the equipment is connected to an anchor point at the user’s feet or within 0.5 m above the ground,
the equipment must only be used on type A ridges, for example as can be found on steel proles,
wooden beams and roof parapets (clad or rounded).
If the equipment is used horizontally in“terrace”mode with a risk of falling from a height onto a ridge,
and the risk assessment made before starting work shows that the ridge is very sharp and/or «has lots
of burrs» (as in the case of an unclad roof, rusty steel beam or concrete edge), you must:
- take appropriate measures before starting work to avoid falling onto the ridge
- or protect the ridge before starting work
- or contact the manufacturer of the fall-arrest system.
-> Non-compliance with these instructions may lead to the fall-arrest system not working and
a major risk of falling and sustaining serious injury or death.
To dampen the pendulum eect at the end of the fall, the working area or the lateral move-
ments of the two sides of the central axis passing through the ground anchor point, must be
limited to a maximum of 1.50 m. Beyond that limit, a class D anchoring device, complying with
EN 795, must be used.
Other precautions:
Distortion of the anchoring device must be taken into account when determining the neces-
sary space under the user’s feet. To this end, the indications mentioned in the user instructions
for the anchoring device must be taken into consideration (e.g. the deection for the movable
lifeline – type B anchor).
Special rescue measures must be dened and users trained for potential falls onto a ridge.
c) OPERATING CONDITIONS AND LIMITS:
Weight of user ≤ 140 kg including equipment. Appendix 3 See marking, page 207(7I)
Temperature of use : from - 30°c to + 60°c (See gure 9)
Can not stop a sinking (pulverulents or muddy products) (See gure 10)
Precautions of use :
Check that the height of the anchorage point above the work space is compatible with the
capacity of the fall arrester and that sucient clearance exists, which is compatible with the
characteristics of the device in the case of a fall. (see section 7-5).
Check that during use, the cable or the webbing does not get wound around an arm or a leg.
EN
NT90024026 IND A.indd 17 20.3.2015 13:41

18
Never connect more than one person to the fall arrester.
Never obstruct the spooling of the strap.
The strap must always be tensed. In case of “slack”, the equipment must be checked by the
manufacturer.
Make your movements on a normal walking speed. Accelerations, climbs and others engage
the clamping system of the equipment.
7-5 AIR CLEARANCE
Take into account the risk of injury and check before using the spooler that there is the necessary
minimum clearance under the user’s feet, to avoid collision with the structure or the ground in the
case of a fall.
To do this, refer to your intended use to determine the applicable «H» value, including a 1 m safety
distance.
This value H is calculated based on a fall occurring from a standing position. An additional 0.7 m clea-
rance must be allocated when the user is working in a crouching or kneeling position. The“H» value
is calculated as follows:
a) STANDARD USE See gure 2a
For example, for a 100 kg user in the “normal” conguration, having connected their Turbolite Edge
at a height of 1m (Z) and a lateral shift of1.5m (X), the necessary clearance (H) underfoot will be2.5m.
b) TERRACE USE See gure 2b
For example, for a 140 kg user in the“terrace”conguration, having connected their Turbolite Edge at
foot level, at 0.5m from the edge of the terrace (Y) and a lateral shift of 1m (X), the necessary clearance
(H) underfoot will be 5.9m
8 - PERIODIC REVIEW
A periodic review checking the eectiveness and strength of the equipment is essential to ensure the
safety of the user.
This equipment must be examined at least once a year; a qualied person must examine this equip-
ment in compliance with these instructions and appropriate details of the inspection must be re-
corded. (see section 6).
At each periodic review, complete the form Appendix 5, page 208 and attach a new inspection label
Appendix 3 See page 207 (9) (tick the date of the next inspection). The frequency of examination
should be increased according to the regulations, in the case of heavy use or harsh environmental
conditions. It is your responsibility to make sure that this le is updated and archived. If nothing is
written on the identication le, the product must be considered as not having been maintained
and no guarantee will be given by the manufacturer.The legibility of the product markings must be
checked.
9 - LIFESPAN
The maximal life of PPE that is predominantly textile is evaluated as being 10 years after the date of
manufacture. Beyond this limit, the PPE must be immediately withdrawn from service and destroyed
by cutting the retractable strap. However, the following factors can aect the performance of the
product and its lifespan: improper storage and/or misuse (ignoring the instructions of this manual),
mechanical deformation, contact with chemicals (acids, alkalis, solvents, etc.) and exposure to high
heat (> 60 ° C).
In order to improve the working-life of your device, it is advised not to:
do not release the strap when it is completely unrolled, but help it spool slowly into the fall-
arrest block See gure 12
leave the cable, strap or the webbing out when not in use.
NT90024026 IND A.indd 18 20.3.2015 13:41

19
expose the device to violent manipulations or to shocks.
expose the fall arrester to bad weather.
do not fold the retractable strap.
