 The anchor device may only be used for attaching the PPE against falls from a height
according to DIN EN 363, consisting of, for example, a full body harness (DIN EN
361), lanyard (DIN EN 354) and energy absorber (DIN EN 355). Alternatively use a
restraint system according to DIN EN 358. Users should always contact the
manufacturer of the personal fall protection equipment for advice regarding the
suitability of the respective PFPE.
 If the anchor device is used as part of a fall arrest system, the user must be equipped
with an energy absorber, which limits the maximum dynamic forces that act on the
user during an arrest to 6 kN maximum.
 By combining individual elements of the specified equipment, hazards can occur by the
safe function of one of the elements being impaired. It must therefore be ensured that
the equipment parts put together to form a system are compatible with each other.
 The components of the personal protective equipment against falls from a height must
be checked to ensure that they are in a proper condition and that they match these
user instructions.
 The attachment to the LUX-top
®
QUICKFIX II system is made by means of a
connecting element (carabiner) on the PFPE in accordance with its instructions for use.
 The user must visually inspect the anchor device before each use to check its
functional and maintenance condition.
 In conjunction with the use of the LUX-top
®
QUICKFIX II system, the relevant
national regulations and the accident prevention regulations and rules of the trade
