2 Specification
2.1 Description
The SafetyLink TempLink 5000 is a temporary single point anchor suitable for installation on
metal and timber roof structures.
2.2 Standard
The TempLink 5000 is compliant with AS/NZS 5532:2013 and EN795:2012 - A.
2.3 User Rating
The TempLink 5000 is rated to 15kN and suitable for a single user. This product is not suitable
for live loading or abseil. For roofs over 30º, the TempLink 5000 should be used in conjunction
with other access methods to ensure no live loading.
⚠ This product is not suitable for use as a horizontal lifeline end anchor.
3 Limitations of Use
3.1 Fall Clearance
When planning your fall protection system, it is important to accurately assess all components
of your system in order to avoid injury. Figure 2 provides guidance on how to calculate
fall clearance. In Figure 2, (A) represents the deflection TempLink 5000 (300mm Max), (B)
represents free fall, energy absorber deployment as well as the estimated D-ring side of the
harness (Refer the manufacturer's information), (SF) represents the recommended safety
factor of 1m, (FC) represents the total allowable fall clearance. For safe use (FC) shall always
be greater than A+B + SF.

3.2 Swing Fall
Working off centre of an anchor point may cause a swing fall. See Figure 3. Fall protection
systems shall be setup in such a way to limit swing fall.
⚠ The force of striking an object during a swing fall may result in serious injury or death.
3.3 Hazards
Use of this equipment in the presence of hazards may cause damage to the equipment and/
or result in the function of the equipment being impeded. These hazards include but are
not limited to; extreme temperature, sharp edges, chemical reagents, electrical conductivity,
abrasion, cutting, climatic exposure and rotating or moving machinery.

3.4 Training
It is essential that all users are trained in the proper inspection, setup and use of this equipment.
It’s the responsibility of the user to ensure they are trained in the correct use of this equipment
and understand the limitations of its use.
⚠ Incorrect use of this equipment may result in serious injury or death.
3.5 Rescue
It is the responsibility of the user of this equipment and their employer to have a suitable
rescue plan and the ability to implement it at any time during setup and use of this equipment.
4 Connections
4.1 Making Connection
Only make compatible connections. Always ensure connectors close and lock correctly before
use. Below and Figure 5 are examples of unsuitable connections;
1 To an anchor or D-ring which has another connector attached.
2 In a position that will apply load to the gate mechanism.
3 By passing the connection through the attachment.
4 Connecting a connector to another connector.
5 Around a structure and back to the lifeline.
6 To an attachment that will limit the function of the gate.
7 To a location that will not load the connector as designed.
4.2 Compatibility of Connections
Connection made to and with this equipment shall be compatible. Connector shall be
compatible shape, size and equivalent rating in order to ensure a compatible connection
is made. Incompatible connections may cause loading of the gate mechanism leading to
unintentional disengagement. See Figure 4. Connectors shall be compliant with EN362 and
auto closing and locking.
⚠ Making incompatible or unsuitable connection may result in unintentional
disengagement of the connector resulting in serious injury or death.

be free of damage, corrosion, rot, white ants, split timber or anything that may affect the
strength of the structure. Structure shall be accordance with local building codes.
☑ Steel purlins shall be a minimum of 150mmx1.5mm
☑ Timber rafters shall be minimum 90x35mm with 70x45mm battens MGP10 or F7
3 Remove the existing roof sheeting screws in the area where the anchor is to be installed.
4 Place the anchor on the roof and install a minimum of 5x 14 gauge screws, through the
mounting holes in the anchor, into the purlin or batten. Each screw shall penetrate the purlin
of batten by a minimum of 35mm.
