MOBILE ANCHOR RAIL
RJ 500
EN 795:2012 typ D
CEN/TS 16415:2013
1/5
GENERAL INFORMATION
Mobile anchor rail RJ 500 is a complete fall
protection system. An excellent structural stability is
ensured by inertial mass comprising concrete blocks
so it is not necessary to provide stable foundation or
a support structure. RJ 500 is a modular device
which can be interconnected to create any number
of configurations and lengths as needed. Standard
length of the rail is 6 running metres providing a
track for horizontal travel of trolleys being anchor
points for protected users. The rail is placed at a
height of 6.88m.
RJ 500 is a device that will suit perfectly i.e. when
servicing tanks, on railway siding and repair stations
and whenever it is necessary to move safely on
horizontal surfaces at a height.
Device RJ 500 complies with EN 795:2012 and
CEN/TS 16415:2013 for Class D devices. Device RJ
500 is designed for fall protection of maximum 3 co-
users.
The device should be placed in one location. If
needed it can be moved to another location of
adequate characteristics.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General information
The device RJ500 is designed to be used only for purposes described in this instruction manual. It is designed to provide protection
when working at a height, i.e. when servicing tanks, on railway siding and repair stations and whenever it is necessary to move
safely on horizontal surfaces at a height.
• The product must not be used to lift or handle any loads.
• Do not modify or replace any components of the devices on your own, as this may affect characteristics of the device and the
user's safety.
• Be particularly careful when handling the device from one location of its use to another. If any damages to the product are
found, the affected part must be replaced.
• It is necessary to draw a rescue plan for the location where the device is to be used in case if the device RJ 500 arrests a fall.
• When using retractable type fall arresters, it is recommended to use an additional line for lowering of snap hook of retractable
type fall arrester to avoid continuous tension of winding spring of the device.
Inspection of products and devices before use
Before installation of the device always check whether all components are complete and in operating condition. Please check if the
elements are not damaged or corroded. Never use damaged or corroded elements, as this may affect the user's safety.
Prohibition against modification of the device
Do not replace original elements of the devices for other that are not designed for this device. Never modify or repair the original
elements of the device on your own.
Obligation to use individual fall protection equipment when installing the device
Always use individual fall protection equipment during installation of the product, when risk of
a fall from a height is present. This also applies to working on aerial work platforms (“manlifts”).

1.Position base “1” on a flat and hard ground and load it with four concrete unit weights “12” using a forklift truck (or an
equivalent ballast of 4100kg in weight). Maximum inclination angle of a surface on which the device can be placed is shown in
figure above.
2.In a lying position assemble legs “2”, coupler “3” and beam “4”, by screwing them using adequate screws as shown in the
figure.
3.Mount rail segment “8” to beams “4”, and then screw them with adequate screws as shown in the figure, and mount right
support “6” and left support “7” also by screwing them with adequate screws as shown in the figure. Mount profile “5” using
locking pins “13”.
4.Insert required number of trolleys (max. 3 pcs) “11” in lower guide of rail segment “8”.
5.Lock ends of rail segment “8” with end locks “10” to prevent accidental derailing of trolleys from the rail segment!
6.Using telescopic handler and two slings lift the device part assembled in the lying position. Mount slings on both beams “4”.
7.Screw both legs “2” to base “1” by screwing them with adequate screws as shown in the figure.
8.Lock both profiles “5” in base “1” using pins “13”.

Using the system
Cooperation of energy absorbing and connecting components with the system
Complete fall protection system comprises anchor system (RJ 500) and the connected
personal fall protection equipment. The system can be used to anchor personal
protection equipment compliant with EN 363. Connection should be carried out using
snap hook AZ011. The device is designed for use by max. 3 co-users. For cooperation with
anchor system RJ 500, use the following personal protection equipment:
-
-full body harness compliant with EN 361,
- energy absorbing and connecting components as:
- lanyards with energy absorbers compliant with EN 354/355,
- guided type fall arresters compliant with EN 353-2,
- retractable type fall arresters compliant with EN 360 (most commonly).
- connectors (snap hooks) compliant with EN 362.
Before operation put on full body harness in accordance with relevant instruction manual.
Connect attachment point on full body harness to anchor system by means of one of the
above energy absorbing and connecting components in accordance with its instruction
manual. Attach connector of energy absorbing and connecting component to the RJ 500
system trolley directly (if it is snap hook AZ011) or by means of snap hook AZ011 (if
energy absorbing and connecting component is equipped with other connector).
Additional inspection of individual fall protection equipment
• Inspect if snap hooks are closed and locked
• Use correctly adjusted full body harness
