1.Checking the conditions
Before starting the installation, check the dimensions
and specifications in the planning with the actual condi-
tions. It is possible that a PV system was built differently
than originally planned.
Very important:
- Minimum compound
Minimum size of the module field must be 3 x 4
modules. The minimum weight of the plant must be
460.00 kg (incl. ballast).
Position of the entry/exit
For safety reasons, the entrances must be at least
2.50m away from the nearest fall edge. The entry can
also be integrated into existing guardrails or railings.
(Not applicable for a ring installation. Here there are no
entrances and the folding fall protection runners are
used).
Placement of the anchor points
The anchor points are mounted on the floor rails. The
standard distance is 3 m to 4.5 m - only in special
cases a distance of up to 6 m is permitted.
Requirements for the floor rails
Don´t install short rails (0.70 m and 1.40 m) at the be
ginning and end of a composite where anchor points
are to be installed.
The profile connectors ot the floor profiles can only
withstand a maximum of 9 kn, so short rails must
always be placed in the middle of the compound or
secured accordingly.
2. Important dimensions
Disantance floor rail to support: min.15cm
Minimum compound 3 x 4 modules
Distance from entrance to roof edge of min. 2.50 m
Distance from floor rail to windshield: min.15cm
minimum 2,50 m
Standard distance of anchor points is 3m to 4,50 m

3. Installation of the achor points (short)
Lubricate the threads and screws with anti size paste
Put the first anchor point into the foor rail
Attach and screw on load distribution plate
Drill holes in floor rails with drilling template
1. Position of the short anchor
points
The short anchor point must be mounted at least
20 mm from the end of the floor rail. So choose the
distance of the drilling template accordingly.
2. Drilling
Drill the 4 holes for mounting the single point stop with
11.5 mm drill bit. Please use the original HSS drilling
template to drill the holes exactly.
3. Grease the components
The threads of the stainless steel nuts in the anchor
points must be completely greased with anti-seize
assembly Paste
4. Assembly of the front anchor
points (short)
Insert the two halves of the anchor point into the bot-
tom rail and fix them with the supplied stainless steel
screws - but do not tighten them!
The two screws (M10) must be greased before
insertion, otherwise the stainless steel nuts may seize
when tightened.
5. Tightening
Stainless steel screws (M10 x 25) are screwed to the
base plate from the outside through the floor rails with
the anchor point. (Tightening torque = 25 Nm)
Option: Lifting with spacer
In the case of green roofs or elevated gravel, the
spacers can be used. They raise the guide rails.
Drilling and metal chips must be
removed from the roof!
ATTENTION!
!
Distance of min. 20 mm to the end of the floor rail
Always grease screws!
If stainless steel screws and nuts
are not sufficiently greased, there is
a risk that the screws will seize in
the threads when tightened.
ACHTUNG!

1. Position of the long anchor
points
The lateral (long) anchor points are normally placed
centrally between the modules.
2. Drilling
Drill the 4 holes for mounting the single point stop
with 11.5 mm drill bit. Please use the original HSS
drilling template to drill the holes exactly.
3. Grease the components
The threads of the stainless steel nuts in the anchor
points must be completely greased with anti-seize
assembly Paste
4. Assembly of the lateral anchor
points
Insert the two halves of the anchor point into the bot-
tom rail and fix them with the supplied stainless steel
screws - but do not tighten them!
The two screws (M10) must be greased before
insertion, otherwise the stainless steel nuts may seize
when tightened.
5. Tightening
Stainless steel screws (M10 x 25) are screwed to the
base plate from the outside through the floor rails with
the anchor point. (Tightening torque = 25 Nm)
6. Cantilever mounting
Place the cantilever and fix it with the supplied stainless
steel screws - but do not tighten!
Option: Lifting with spacer
In the case of green roofs or elevated gravel, the
spacers can be used. They raise the guide rails.
4. Installation of the lateral anchor points (long)
Put the second anchor point into the foor rail...
Place the cantilever
…and tighten!
Position of the long anchor points
Drill holes in floor rails with drilling template

The lateral anchor points must be connected to the floor
rails behind them by a steel cable. This is the only way
they can absorb and distribute the load in an emergency.
1. Mounting the rope on anchor
points
Guide the wire rope end through the hole provided for
this purpose in the end of the cantilever and fix it with
two rope clamps. (Overlap approx. 30 cm)
2. Feedthrough through floor rail
Guide the steel cable through the bottom rail to the
opposite anchor point (or according to the plan).
Mark the rails at the corresponding position and drill
through with an 8 mm drill bit.
3. Attach rope clamps
Thread 2 rope clamps between each rail and guide the
rope through the holes in the rails.
(If an anchor point is only mounted on one side, one
rope clamp is enough. This must then be mounted on
the opposite side to the anchor point).
Tension the steel rope and fasten it to the opposite an-
chor point with 2 rope clamps. If the anchor point is on
one side, pass it through the last drilled rail and guide
it back. Form a loop with a rope clamp. Now push the
rope clamps onto the rails and clamp them tight.
5. Installation of the wire rope system
Attach rope clamps on each floor rail
Loop on the last floor rail
Rope feedthrough through the floor rail
Tight the rope clamps
Rope system for load introduction into the system
Drilling and metal chips must be
removed from the roof!

1. Insert stainless steel screws
Insert two M10 x 20 stainless steel screws into each of
the guide rails
2. Insert sliding blocks
Place sliding blocks on the EPO to absorb thermal ex-
pansion. The guide collar points upwards - i.e. towards
the rail!
3. Grease and insert screws
Grease the threads of the self-locking stainless steel
nuts with the lubricant supplied.
Guide the two screws through the sliding blocks and
holes on the anchor point.
4. Fixing the guide rail
Fix guide rail with washer and nut but do not tighten
yet!
5. Connecting the guide rails
Insert the corresponding number of M10 x 20 stain
less steel screws into the next rail. Join the rails using
the connectors and screw them together.
6. Finnishing
Fasten the rail as described under point 1 but do not
tighten it!
Repeat this procedure until the next bend or entry
point.
6. Installation of the guide rails
Fixieren of the guide rail

1. Insert the fitting pieces
Assemble the fitting piece accordingly. Insert it, move
the rails apart a bit to make it easier and screw them
together with connectors.
2. Tightening the rails on the
anchor point
After all rails have been mounted, align the system so
that it is stress-free.
Then tighten all screw connections (M10 x 20) between
rails and anchor point. The torque for stainless steel
screws M10 strength class 70 is 25 Nm.
Finally, check all screw connections for tightness.
3. Assembly of the entrys and
end stops
Please check the position of the entrys before mounting
them. The entry should be at least 2.5 m away from the
nearest fall edge to allow safe use of the HSS-System.
Every entry or end stop must be fixed on an anchor
point and not protrude more than 30 cm above the last
anchor point. Entry or endstop may protrude a maximum of 30 cm
Fixing entry / end-stop
Assemble the fitting piece accordingly.

1. Final inspection
Check the system for tight fit of all connecting ele-
ments. Then check the function of the accesses/end
stops.
2. Final testwalk
Check the supplied „equipment set(s)“ (red case/bag)
for completeness and function. Put on the equipment
according to the instructions and perform a test walk
of the system. In particular, check that the entrances
move smoothly and ensure that the fall protection
runner runs smoothly in bends and curves.
3. Fill out acceptance protocol
After completion, fill out the complete
HSS acceptance protocol.
4. Attach type plate
The HSS nameplate should be attached to the HSS
entrance closest to the roof access. It can be stuck
directly onto the guide rail.
5. Attach lock sign
The warning sign indicates whether the system is ready
for operation and use or not (e.g. due to maintenance
or conversion work). Attach the holder in a clearly
visible position either to the roof ladder or to the nearest
HSS entrance and insert the card with the
corresponding side.
6. Providing the equipment sets
The „equipment sets“ (red bag/case) should be stored
in such a way that they are quickly available to any roof
climbers. The ideal place is directly at the roof ascent,
which is dry and easily accessible. The equipment set
should also always contain an HSS instruction manual.
8. Final inspection
Function of the entrance
Attaching the type plate to the next access
Safe working on the roof!
The HSS fall arrest system is
now ready for use.
For the correct use of the sys-
tem, please refer to the instruc-
tions for use enclosed with
each „equipment set“ (red case/
bag).
We wish you safe work!
The warning sign must be on the roof
ascent or on the system.
