Orientation aid for the usage planning of the ABS 5 B fall protection device, values according to EN
341:2011/1A for reaching the permissible rappelling (W) from max. rappelling height of 11m max. 15,000,000
joules
Minimum load 40 kg ......................... 38.226 rappelling meters
(3.475 rappellings) or at
Maximum load 128 kg........................11.946 rappelling meters
(1.085 rappellings)
The formula for calculating the rappelling (W) is:
W (joule) = m x g x h x n
W = Mass x g
(9,81 m/s²) x
Rappelling height x rappellings
Terms
:
W
= rappelling (joule),
m
= mass (kg),
g
(gravitational acceleration) = 9.81m/s²,
h
= rappelling height (m),
n
= Number of rappellings
Caution
: When the maximum permissible rappelling is reached, the device must always be sent to the manufactu-
rer with the corresponding note in the test book.
Storage and transport of the device:
The device, rope and accessories must be protected against negative influences. These influences include heat or
cold, electrical influences, sparks, strong solar radiation (ultraviolet degradation), impacts, dropping, sharp or poin
-
ted objects, moisture or other mechanical or chemically aggressive effects. The device should always be stored
and transported in an appropriate packaging or in the packaging specified by the manufacturer. The storage should
take place in a dark and dry place (ideal case).
Cleaning
:
After use, we recommend cleaning the device, as required. Wipe the webbing with a mild, lukewarm soap solution,
then rinse with clear water and dry. Drying is to be performed exclusively in a natural way, i.e. do not hang directly
over heat sources. Store the fall protection device in an dry, airy and dark place (ideal scenario). Avoid contact with
acids, corrosive liquids and oils.
If the ideal scenario is deviated from and the descender is constantly exposed to the weather, it is possible that the
device and the webbing will not reach the maximum possible period of use.
Before using disinfectants, you have to contact the manufacturer due to the complex legal product classifications
based on the specific applications and constituents.
Accessories
Please note
: In order to prevent a negative impact on the safe function of the fall arresting devices, it is only per-
mitted to use accessories approved by the manufacturer (e.g. rescue clamps to DIN 19428:2018, protective covers,
etc.). The manufacturer is not liable for any accidents involving the life and limb of the user if using non-approved
accessories.
