
Use of the reception eyelets:
Identification A Rear reception eyelet, front reception eyelet
(Pictogram A )
Identification A/2 Front reception loops (Pictogram A/2)
Basically only use them together and
in this case use a connecting element EN 362, Class M
or B for correct locking.
The reception eyelets are determined exclusively for use with a fall arrest system according
to EN 363 e.g.:
In combination with the following:

Fastenings with fall energy absorber EN 354/355
 Retractable type fall arresters EN 360

Guided-type fall arresters EN 353-2

Abseiling and rescue devices EN 341 and 1496

Walkway protection with fixed anchor line EN 353-1
The connection of the arresting and retention belts with the fall arrest system must be
guaranteed by proper use of the connecting elements and anchoring units.

Use of the rear reception eyelet in the Var. B 3
as a back eyelet extension:
In the implementation Var. B3, full body harness is provided with a
fastening of Type Band B3 with a maximum fastening length of 0.5 m.
This fastening is firmly sewn on at the back-reception eyelet and is
used to facilitate operation of this back-reception eyelet (e.g. in case of
utilization with retractable-type fall arresters). The Type Band B3
webbing employed here was tested successfully over an edge. In this
case, a steel edge with a radius of r = 0.5 mm (without a burr) was
used. Based on this test, the equipment in corresponding composition
is suitable for use over similar edges, e.g. those on rolled-steel profile
sections, timber beams or encased, rounded roof parapets
(enquire with the manufacturer).

Caution:
In case of the use of fastenings with fall energy absorbers it is to be ensured that the
maximum length of 2 m is not exceeded (fast fall energy absorber 1.5 m + stitched
web in the back-reception eyelet 0.5 m). If guided-type fall arresters are employed, the snap
hook must be hooked directly into the reception eyelet (D-ring). Also in case of fastenings
with fall energy absorbers with a length of 2 m, the snap hook must be placed directly into
the reception eyelet.

Use of the rear reception eyelet in the Var. BFD with firmly sewn-on fastenings
with integrated tear / fall-energy absorber (Type BFD 3)
