5.3 - Product Operation
1. Operation of LG5 System:
Before operation of the LG5 System can occur, the user must choose one of three
configurations in which to use the system. The configuration should be chosen and
configured before the user can enter the manway.
Ensure that the system is secure and level before working over the manway.
Ensure that the system is centered over the manway.
Configuration 1
A Standard SRL (Self Retracting Lifeline) can be connected directly to one of the
Anchor Points on the Apex Hub (Fig. #5.2b) providing a compliant overhead fall
arrest anchorage.
- To connect the SRL to the Apex Hub, utilize the SRL’s connector to secure the
device to one of the two overhead anchor points; (can be used in combination with
Configuration #3 to provide full retrieval capability.
Configuration 3
A hoist accessory bracket (#LGL-B) can be purchased from Pelsue. This acces-
sory enables the use of a standard personnel hoist. Please refer to Section 8.0
for a detailed description
Configuration 2
A 3 Way SRL (Self Retracting Lifeline) device can be connected directly to one of
the front vertical legs on the lower section of the LG5 (Fig. #5.3c).
- The channel bracket that is integral to the 3 way SRL will slide over the leg and
rest on the SRL Stops that are on the lower guard (Fig #5.3d). After the device is
rested on the SRL Stops, the two Hitch Pins should be inserted through the holes
on the bracket and the holes on the vertical leg to hold the 3 way SRL in place
(Fig #5.3e). The provided Pulley and Carabiner should be connected to one of the
Anchor Points on the Apex Hub. The line will then be reeved from the 3 Way SRL
through the Pulley and then towards the manway.
