INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
For safe effective installation of the Reusable Concrete Anchor, make sure to observe the following
requirements:
Concrete:
A compressive strength of 3000 p.s.i. (20.7 MPa) is must for the concrete to secure the anchor. Do not use the Reusable
Concrete Anchor in lightweight concrete, hollow block, grout, stone, wood, steel or any other substrate. The concrete base material must
be at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) thick.
Mounting Hole Location:
The thickness and width of the concrete is considered to analyze the allowable distance for mounting the
Reusable Concrete Anchor from an edge or corner. Mounting hole location requirements are as follows:
Ÿ

Concrete Thickness
12 in (30.5 cm)
10 in (25.4 cm)
8 in (20.3 cm)
5 in (12.7 cm)
12 in (30.5 cm)
16 in (40.6 cm)
20 in (50.8 cm)
24 in (61 cm)
6 in (15.3 cm)
8 in (20.3 cm)
10 in (25.4 cm)
12 in (30.5 cm)

Concrete Width
Note:
Drill bits for drilling mounting holes must conform to ISO 5468 addressing carbide-tipped masonry drills
and blanks for carbide-tipped masonry drills.

ANCHORAGE STRENGTH:
Ensure that the structure on to which the anchor is fitted is strong enough to withstand a load of
20kN.
9.
LIMITATION:
Ÿ
It should be the personal property of its user.
Ÿ
It should not be used in highly acid or basic environments.
Ÿ
The equipment shall not be used out side its limitation, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.
Ÿ
The anchor has been tested to EN 795 : 2012 Type B and is appropriate for maximum of single person use with energy
absorber as per EN 355:2002 that is rated to user mass of up to 140kg including tools.
Ÿ
It is essential for the safety of user that if the product is resold outside the original country of destination, the reseller
shall provide instruction for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in the language of the country
in which product is to be used.
Ÿ
It is advisable to use the dorsal attachment D-Ring of the harness for connection.
Ÿ
A full body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in fall arrest system.
Ÿ
Following conditions may be hazardous & may affect the performance of Anchor -
Ÿ
Extreme temperature.
Ÿ
Trailing or looping of Lanyards over sharp edges.
Ÿ
Extreme acidic or basic environments.
Ÿ
Abrasive or sharp edge structures which can damage the equipment.
Ÿ
Chemical Reagents.
Ÿ
Climatic exposure.
Ÿ
When the equipment gets wet, either from being in use or when due to cleaning, it should be allowed to dry by itself and
be kept away from open fire or any other source of heat.
Ÿ
When Anchor device is used as part of a fall arrest system, the user shall be equipped with a means of limiting the
maximum dynamic forces exerted on the user during the arrest of a fall to a maximum of 6 kN.
Ÿ
Any dangers that may arise by the use of combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one item
is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
Ÿ
Ensure that the harness used confirms to EN 361 and the Karabiner is connected to attachment elements of the
harness; also ensure that harness has an attachment located appropriately to the fall arrester.
