USE AND PRECAUTIONS:
The connector is a piece of personal protection equipment, it should be allocated to a single user (it can only be used by one person at a time).
A connector is used for connecting two or more components of a fall arrest system. Generally, all components have attachment elements, which can
facilitate easy connection to the other component.
A connector can also be used as a fixed termination in a lanyard or energy absorber.
For connector without self-closing and manual locking gate, it is recommended that they should only be used where the user does not have to attach
and remove the connector frequently.
A connector should never be loaded across its gate.
Screw link (class Q) connectors should only be used where connections are infrequent. Screw link connectors are only safe for use when the screw
motion gate is fully closed. Ensure this by tightening them to the last possible point.
The length of connector should be taken into account when used in a fall arrest system.
Avoid situation that may reduce the strength of connector, e.g. connecting to wide strap.
Special features:
A connector is designed to minimize the risk and the danger of falling from height. However, always remember that no item of PPE can provide full
protection and care must always be taken while carrying out the risk related activity. The anchorage point of the fall arrest system should be situated
above the user (R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN - EN795:1996).
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
The equipment should be connected to an anchoring point (R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN - EN795:1996). Check that work can be carried out so as
to limit the pendulum effect, the risk and height of a fall. For safety reasons before each use, make sure that no obstacle can prevent the device
unwinding normally in the event of a fall (free space under the user’s feet).
Before and during use, we recommend that you take every precaution necessary for an eventual safe rescue.
Pay attention to risks which can reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the safety of the user, if it is exposed to extreme
temperatures (<-30 ° C or> 50 ° C), prolonged climatic exposure (UV , humidity), to chemical reagents, to electrical conductivity, to trailing or looping of
fall arrest system to sharp edges, abrasion or cuts,.......
This equipment is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person. Warning!
Certain medical conditions may affect user safety; if in doubt, consult your doctor.

SERVICE and INSPECTION RECORD
Date Damage observed Repair Comments next due date Name and Signature of competent person
Check the state of the connector before every use:
ensure that it is in a serviceable condition and operates correctly (locking/opening); no deformation, no corrosion, no damage. Product
markings must remain legible. In the event of doubt regarding the condition of the device, or after a fall, the lanyard must not be reused,
should be withdrawn from service (marking it with the words “DO NOT USE” is recommended) and must be returned to the manufacturer or
to a qualified person appointed by the manufacturer.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the connector.
SUITABILITY FOR USE:
The connector must be used as part of a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force
exerted on the user during the arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body gripping device that may be used. A
harness should be connected to a fall arrest system by EN362 connectors. Attachment points that are not marked A or A/2 must not be used
for connecting a fall prevention device. It may be dangerous to create one’s own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere
with another safety function. Read the recommendations on using each component in the system before use.
VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:
The equipment has a service life of 12 months (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by VIRAJ), but
this duration may increase or decrease depending on how it is used and/or the results of annual checks.
The equipment must be checked systematically in case of doubt or after a fall and at least every year by the manufacturer or his competent
person , to guarantee its state and thus the safety of the end-user. The product data sheet should be completed (by writing) after each
verification, date of inspection and date of next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet, it is also recommended to put date of next
inspection on the product.
SERVICING AND STORAGE: (Comply strictly with these instructions)
During transport, keep the connector in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface. Clean it with cotton cloth or soft brush. Do not use
any abrasive material water. The metal parts should be wiped with a cloth impregnated with paraffin oil. Never use bleach or detergents. The
connector should be stored in its packaging in a warm, dry, ventilated place, protected from sunlight, heat and chemicals.
