MAS HA 4 Directions For Use Manual Download Page 9

Notes on use 

Use possibilities of the HA 4: 

Fastening points existing on site must correspond to EN 795 or the object must 

indicate a minimum strength of 12 kN. 

The HA4 is for max. 4 people allowed in a system of 34 m, where it is irrelevant where 

the people are in the system. (e.g. 1 person in each field up to 4 people in one field) 

Before installation

, it is to be tested whether the HA 4 and the other component 

parts of the personal protective equipment against falls from a height are functional 

and agree with the information designated in these directions for use or on the 

monitoring board. In this case, the HA 4 placed in the rope container is to be examined 

before use for possible externally-identifiable damage and for completeness.  

The rope may not indicate any breaks or fraying at any location and the Karabiner hooks 

must close easily and securely. The function of the clamping element, in particular the 

wedging effect, is to be checked. If faults are determined in this case, the HA 4 is to be sent 

to the manufacturer for repair. 

The on-site existing fastening points must be designed for the load-carrying capacity 

corresponding to the intended purpose. 

With the selection of the fastening points, it is to 

be additionally considered that, in case of the fall from a height of a person, the 

anchor point

 of the lanyard of the HA 4 can be displaced 

by up to 3.50 m

In case of deformation-capable fastening points, their deflection is to be included. 

Caution

:

In case of possible stressing of the horizontally flexible anchor line (HA 4) over an edge with

a deflection whose length is greater than the separation distance of the horiz. flex. anchor

line from this edge, the following is to be considered:

The accompanying fall arrester, including the flexible anchor line, has also been successfully

tested for horizontal use, as well as on a simulated fall 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

is suitable for use over similar edges, e.g. those on rolled-steel profile sections, timber

beams or encased, rounded roof parapets.

Regardless of this test, in the case of horizontal or angular use, where there is a risk of a fall

over an edge, the following points must be taken into consideration:

1. If the risk assessment carried out before the start of work indicates that the fall-zone

edge relates to a particularly 

‘cutting’ and/or ‘non-burr free’ edge (e.g. an uncovered

parapet, trapezoid sheeting or a sharp concrete edge) then

appropriate arrangements should be made before the start of work so that

falling over the edge is ruled out

an edge protector should be installed before work starts or

contact should be made with the manufacturer.

2. The lanyard is tested over an edge with an angle of 90°. The user should be aware of

the increased risks which exist if it is possible to fall over an edge with an angle less

than 90°

(measured between the two legs of the lanyard e.g. if the anchor point is located

below the feet of the user, or in case of a roof running diagonally to above) and that

additional precautions or additional tests may be necessary.

Deflection max. 90° corner 

Smallest field 2 m 

Largest field 10 m
