3.0 INsTALLATION
3.1 PLANNINg:
Plan your fall protection system before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect your safety
before, during, and after a fall. Consider all requirements and limitations defined in Section 2.
3.2 HARNESS MOUNTINg:
Nano-Lok edge SrL-Les include an interface for mounting on a Full Body Harness just below the
Dorsal D-ring. The worker can then connect the lifeline end of the SrL-Le to anchorage points located throughout the
work site. To mount the Nano-Lok edge SrL-Le on a Full Body Harness (see Figure 9):
1. Loosen the Harness Webbing:
Pull out on both Shoulder Straps (A) where they pass through the bottom of
the Dorsal D-Ring (B) until there is sufficient space to slide the locking pin between the Shoulder Straps and
Back Pad.
2. Open the Harness Interface:
Push down on the Locking Buttons (C) simultaneously and slide the Locking Pin
(D) out.
i
NOTe:
Both locking buttons must be fully depressed to allow the locking pin to slide out. To slide the
locking pin open, apply firm pressure to both locking buttons with the thumbs while simutaneously
pulling on the locking pin head with an index finger.
4. Insert the Locking Pin Through the Shoulder Straps:
With the Locking Buttons (C) facing out and the
Locking Pin facing up, insert the Detent Pin (D) of the Harness Interface (e) behind the Shoulder Straps (A) and
lock in place. Pull the Shoulder Straps back through the Dorsal D-ring and Back Pad to remove slack.
5. Connect Hook and Loop Straps around the Shoulder Straps:
open the hook and loop straps located on the
bottom of the energy Absorber Pack. Wrap the hook and loop straps (F) around the shoulder straps and secure.
WARNING:
The Red Band (G) on the knob end of the Harness Interface Locking Pin will be exposed
if the Harness Interface is unlocked. To avoid accidental release of the connection, always make
sure the Harness Interface is locked (the Red Band will not be visible) before using the Harness and
attached Nano-Lok Edge SRL-LE. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
i
NOTe:
It is also acceptable to connect the Nano-Lok Edge SRL-LE to the Harness Dorsal D-Ring with
the Adapter Loop (P/N 3500046). Attachment Strap (P/N 3100184) can be used to secure the bottom
of the Nano-Lok Edge Pack when the harness geometry precludes the use of the integral hook and loop
straps. See Appendix A for more information.
3.3 ANCHORAgE:
Figure 10 illustrates typical Nano-lok edge lifeline anchorages and connections. Select an anchorage
location with minimal free fall and swing fall hazards (see Section 2). Select a rigid anchorage point capable of sustaining
static loads as defined in Section 2.2. Where anchoring overhead is not feasible, Nano-Lok Edge SRL-LEs may be secured
to anchorage points below the level of the user’s Dorsal D-ring. For users up to 310 lbs (141 kg), the anchorage point
must not be more than 5 ft (1.52 m) below the Dorsal D-ring. For users exceeding 310 lbs (141 kg), up to 420 lbs
(191 kg), the anchorage point must not be more than 2 ft. (0.6 m) below the Dorsal D-ring and higher when connecting
off to the user’s left or right side. See Figure 3 A, B, and C.
