Product Installation (Single Span):
Step 1: Determine the locations of the end anchorage connectors. The anchorage selected for a PFAS must have the strength to sustain a static
load applied in the direction permitted by the PFAS of at least two times the maximum arrest force permitted when certification
exists, or 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) in the absence of certification.
Note:
Single span lengths 60’ and shorter use a single FallTech SteelGrip®Coil Energy Absorber, see Figure 24 .
Single span lengths longer than 60’ must use two FallTech SteelGrip® Coil Energy Absorbers, see Figure 25.
Step 2: Install the end anchorage connectors.
Step 3: Secure the HLL system to the anchorage connectors with the provided end attachment carabiners.
Step 4: Holding the cable side jaw of the turnbuckle to prevent the lifeline
from twisting, use a tool to rotate the turnbuckle. Rotate the
turnbuckle so that the jaws draw toward each other as shown in
Figure 26.
If a FallTech Tension Indicator is not being used, tighten
the turnbuckle until the center of the lifeline sags no more than 6
inches below the end anchorage points.
If a FallTech Tension Indicator is being used, tighten the turnbuckle
until the indicator is located in the center green section of the window
as shown in Figure 27.
Step 5: Once properly tensioned, the lifeline subsytem can be used.
