1.1 Regulations
The personal safety system NIKO PSS 25 is only to be used for the safety of attached
persons.
The system does not replace personal safety harnesses (PSA)
Rolling Apparatus Type 25.T10P are only to be used for materials. Maximum load
100kg.

2 Safety Instructions
2.1 Regulations of Use
1 person permitted to each reel.
Each safety reel must only be used in combination with a personal safety harness.
Dampers are to be used.
a) Safety harnesses according to EN 355 are to be used during use.
b) The compulsory fall and catch distances must be paid attention to.
The manufacturers regulations must be observed for use.
c) Distance to collision:
Is the least space necessary to ensure that a secured person, in the case of a
fall, falls onto no obstacles. The fall height must always be reduced to a
minimum. The calculation of the fall height depends on the system used:
Means of connection, dampers, distortion and safety belt.
Minimum distance from the impact point (incl. body height) + 1m to floor
or obstacle.
!!!Pay attention to wall ledges, mouldings or other construction obstacles!!!

3 Product Description
3.1 Parts
Horizontal running track system with detachable coupling for wall or ceiling fastening
as well as fastening to a steel girder above.
Internally running reels each with 4 ball bearing reels and a safety bolt which prevents
the reel falling due to axle or bearing break.
The running track system can be assembled lineally or follow a given track, allowed
through several curves. By dividing the track in several directions - track switches
are assembled which can lead into one or more different tracks. The running reels are
available in two levels of performance.
Reel Type T40 with vertical swivel vice 360° and ring nuts DIN 582.
Reel Type T20 with ball bearing oscillation and pivoted axle through an angle of max.
15°. Track stoppers of Type 25.X01 are screwed on the open end of the track.
Switch systems are delivered either with manual or automatically changing sliders.
The operation can be carried out manually or by chain pull.
3.2 Standards
The parts comply with EN 795 class D.
3.3 Construction
The track system is constructed for vertical assembly. Linear tracks or one following
a course.
Fastening: The tracks are attached to steel girders or masonry with coupling or with
angle support. The fastening distances are depicted at 4.1. It is permitted to exceed
this distance by max. 10% (through construction necessity)
Warning: Each fastening point must be capable of holding a load of 35kn.
At assembly the foundations must be checked and the holding strength of the
fastening points must be verified through protocol. At assembly onto steel
constructions- screws of DIN 933 M16 (8.8) must be used.
The free standing tracks are allowed to hang max. 300mm over the last fastening
coupling. If these distances are exceeded then additional fastening couplings are to be
built.

Page - 6 - PSS 25 - 0304
Free standing tracks and track joints are to be separated by at least a full
section. See 4.6 assembly regulations.
At assembly of curves, a load-bearing coupling is to be put in the middle of each
curve. Instruction for the exact positioning of the coupling is at 4.1.1, which is to be
followed. In the case of tracks, which are slanting - suitable supporting devices must
be assembled so that the reel runs over no brake mechanisms. This can only take
place with further discussion with the manufacturer, or more specifically after a
calculation by a control body.
(All non-horizontal tracks must need a special examination)
The switches are screwed into the system with connecting coupling and are to be hung
immediately before the connecting coupling. Track stoppers are to be used on open
tracks, which must be secured against shifting horizontally with a steel screw DIN
933 M8x80.

4.6 Assembly regulations
The tracks depicted below must be used according to the following procedures.
In the section of a overhanging end or in an edge section - no connecting coupling can
be placed.
The same goes for track curves and switches.

5 Safety Instructions
All fastening points must set up as is depicted in track 4.5. The manufacturer takes no
responsibility for improper assembly. Be aware of correctly aligned assembly at track
crossings. An optimal running quality can only be guaranteed by correct alignment of
the parts. After assembly of the fastening coupling, the track is pushed into the
coupling and fixed centrally to the security screws lying above. With poor fixing the
tracks can slide out of the coupling due to one sided pressure. (Risk of falling)
Use of the track is exclusively permitted with Carrier Type 25.T20 and 25.T40.
The Carrier 25.T10 is only to be used for materials.
Persons and materials can not be carried in one Carrier.
6 Servicing
All Person safety systems NIKO PSS 25 are subject to repeated inspection. The
inspection intervals depend on the use and demands placed on equipment.
Fundamentally the following minimum intervals are to be kept.
In the case of security equipment in use 1 X monthly
Examination checklist 1 X year
In the case of security equipment in use 1 X weekly
Examination checklist 4 X year
In the case of security equipment in use daily (high wires, event arrangements)
Examination checklist 1 X week
After previous agreement, special equipment is to be dealt with separately by an
authorized inspection office.
