Compliant fall protection and emergency rescue systems help prevent serious injury during fall arrest. Users and purchasers of this
equipment must read and understand the User Instructions provided for correct use and care of this product. All users of this equipment
must understand the instructions, operation, limitations and consequences of improper use of this equipment and be properly trained prior
to use per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.30 and 1926.503 or applicable local standards. The local competent person must keep these instructions, make
them available to users, and require their use.
Misuse or failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
PURPOSE
The A410400 is an anchorage connector designed to function as an interface between the anchorage and a fall arrest, work positioning,
rope access, or rescue system for the purpose of coupling the system to the anchorage. Any references to“anchorage connector” in this
manual include, and apply to, the A410400.
USE INSTRUCTIONS
1. A user must be of sound mind and body to properly and safely use this equipment in normal and emergency
situations.
2. Before using a personal fall arrest system, user must be trained in the safe use of the system and its components.
3. Use only with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems. The anchorage must have the strength
capable of supporting a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of at least 5,000-lbs (22kN) in the
absence of certication.
4. The user shall be equipped with a means of limiting the maximum dynamic forces exerted on the user during the
arrest of a fall to a maximum of 1800-lbs (8kN).
5. Use of this product must be approved by an engineer or other qualied person to be compatible with any and
all structural & operational characteristics of the selected installation location and system to be connected to this
anchorage connector.
6. The anchorage connector must be inspected prior to each use by an authorized person or rescuer for wear, damage, and
other deterioration. If defective components are found the anchorage connector must be immediately removed from
service in accordance with the
requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.140 and 1926.502.
7. The anchorage connector should be positioned in such a way that minimizes the potential for falls and the
potential fall distance during use. The complete fall arrest system must be planned (including all components,
calculating fall clearance, and swing fall) before using.
8. A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place that provides the prompt rescue of users
in the event of a fall, or assures that users are able to rescue themselves.
9. After a fall occurs the anchorage connector must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.
10. Prior to installation of the anchorage connector, remove any surface contamination that could accelerate abrasion of the
attached components.
USE LIMITATIONS: This anchorage connector has been tested in compliance with the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.7. Compliance
testing covers only the hardware and does not extend to the anchorage and substrate to which the anchorage connector is attached. The
anchorage connector must not be used outside its limitations or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended. If this anchorage
connector is used dierently from these instructions, it must be designed, installed, and used under the supervision of an engineer
according to ANSI Z359.6 and local building codes as applicable.
1. The anchorage connector is designed for single user including clothing, tools, etc.
2. The anchorage connector may only be loaded in acceptable directions shown in the LOADING CONDITIONS DIAGRAM.
3. The anchorage connector is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -30ºF to +130ºF (-40°C to +54°C).
4. Do not expose the anchorage connector to chemicals or harsh solutions which may have a harmful eect.
5. Do not alter or modify this product in any way.
6. Caution must be taken when using any component of a fall arrest, work positioning, rope access, or rescue system near
moving machinery, electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces, as contact may cause equipment failure, personal
injury, or death.
7. Do not use/install equipment without proper training by a qualied person.
8. Do not remove the labeling from this product.
9. Additional requirements and limitations may apply depending on anchorage type and fastening option utilized
for installation. All placements must be approved by an engineer or other qualied person.
10. This anchorage connector should not be used as part of a horizontal lifeline system.
11. The anchorage connector should only be used for personal fall protection and not for lifting equipment.
12. If attaching the anchorage connector to the support structure by methods other than instructed, the attachment must
be certied by a qualied person to meet the requirements of the system that will connect to the anchorage connector.
COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS
Anchorage connectors must only be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 and 1910.140 prohibit snaphooks from
being engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: it must be a locking type snaphook, and it must be “designed for”
making such a connection. “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snaphook specically designed the snaphook to be used
to connect to the equipment listed. The following connections must be avoided, because they can result in rollout* when a nonlocking
snaphook is used:
• Direct connection of a snaphook to horizontal lifeline.
• Two (or more) snaphooks connected to one D-ring.
• Two snaphooks connected to each other.
• A snaphook connected back on its integral lanyard.
• A snaphook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
• Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snaphook dimensions that
would allow the snaphook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snaphook.
*Rollout: A process by which a snaphook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to
which it is coupled. (ANSI Z359.0)
Read This Instruction Manual Carefully Before Using This Equipment.

1. Choose location in Strut Channel. A
qualied person must determine if a specic
installation location will meet all ANCHORAGE
REQUIREMENTS. Insert the two pieces of the
anchorage connector into the strut channel.
2. Hook both sides of the anchorage
connector onto the strut channel.
Both pieces of the anchorage connector
must be used. DO NOT USE the anchorage
connector without both pieces.
3. Bring the two pieces of the anchorage
connector together.
WARNING: Make only compatible connections. Only connect to the specied attachement point with an
ANSI Z359.12 compliant carabiner (Both holes on the anchorage connector). Direct connection in any other
location is prohibited.
4. Connect to the anchorage connector
using a carabiner going through both
holes of the anchorage connector.
PFAS must limit fall arrest forces to
1800-lbs (8 kN) or less.
