SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1
COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS: DBI/SALA equipment is
designed for use with DBI/SALA approved components and
subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-
approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of
equipment and may effect the safety and reliability of the complete
system.
2.2
COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS: Connectors are considered to
be compatible with connecting elements when they have been
designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes
do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless
of how they become oriented. Contact DBI/SALA if you have any
questions about compatibility.
Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of
supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22kN). Connectors must be compatible
with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use
equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may
unintentionally disengage. See Figure 3. Connectors must be
compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self locking snap hooks and
carabiners are required by ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA.
2.3
MAKING CONNECTIONS: Only use self-locking snap hooks and
carabiners with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable
to each application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size,
