Translated instruction manual - RopeFix 50S-
issued
: 01.06.2015
The ERS
RopeFix 50
suspends static loads up to
90 kg
on
ø5,0mm
steel wire ropes.
It was designed for applications which are in compliance with the accident prevention rules described
in “
DGUV
BGV C1”, such as stage productions; fair
s, etc.
A safe connection requires a sufficiently loadable upper attachment point. Make sure this attachment point has
been installed by a trained specialist.
The connection between RopeFix and steel wire rope is always done in an analogous manner :
The end of the wire rope is inserted into the retainer of the RopeFix.
Now the RopeFix can be randomly shifted along the wire rope. As soon as a load is attached, it grips the wire
rope. Make sure the wire rope is inserted into the RopeFix far enough to see it sticking out of the Ropefix on its
other end.
After affixing the RopeFix in the desired position, tighten the safety-nut by hand - when the individual
respectively certified working load has been reached- (don´t use tools!) as far as possible.
To affix the RopeFix to another position on the wire rope, simply reverse the procedure: take the suspended
load off the RopeFix, completely unscrew the safety-nut, press down the retainer. Now the RopeFix can again
be shifted up and down the wire rope.
Remarks and Advice:
wire ropes and RopeFixs may not be damaged including the inscription.
the RopeFixs´ spring-loaded retainer has to have a distinctly spring resistance.
the wire rope end inserted into the RopeFix must be sealed (tinning; heat-shrinkable sleeve).
always use at least 2 RopeFixs for each suspended object.
the wire ropes exit angle from the retainer may not exceed 5°
RopeFixs may not be used as connecting elements on safety ropes.
RopeFixs are not suitable for dynamic loads.
RopeFixs are not permitted for the outdoor area.
Overload
If the RopeFix is exposed to overload, starting from 300kg - 3000N , the overload mechanism is triggered by a
movement of the retainer beyond a critical region. Thus, the RopeFix has become unusable and must be
replaced.
EuRope-Systems GmbH declares under sole responsibility that the in this instruction manual listed products
coincide with the EC Machinery Directive (2006/42 / EC), and that the following Standards were applied:
DIN EN 13411 parts 5 & 7
The use of the following wire ropes is permissible for the RopeFix 50S:
galvanised steel wire rope ø 5.0mm 6x7+1FC, DIN EN 12385-4; rated tensile strength = 1770
N/mm²
galvanised steel wire rope ø 5.0mm 6x19+1FC, DIN EN 12385-4; rated tensile strength = 1770
N/mm²
The minimum tensile strengths of wire ropes used may not be lower than those inscribed on the RopeFix.
IMPORTANT!: Please keep this instruction manual in a generally accessible place for future reference!
