CAUTION
Use of a tirsafe™ T3 lifeline on an anchor line not
suited to this model as defined by this manual is
hazardous due to possible non-operation of the
device, with danger of the supervisor falling and
risking his life.
4. Installation
Before installing the tirsafe™ T3 lifeline, ensure that all
the anchor points have a tensile strength of 30 kN.
4.1. Assembly
a. Hang the connector of the INRS absorber on the
anchor point or surround the structural anchor using
the steel rope sling (EC) (Fig.8 a),
b. Hook the connector of the INRS damper onto the
tirfor
®
ring and the tension indicator (Fig.8, b),
c. Disengage the tirfor
®
using the release lever A
(Fig.8, c 1),
d. Insert the steel rope into the tirfor
®
side opposite the
ring until you reach this one (fig.8, c 2),
e. Adjust the line length by sliding the steel rope into
the device (fig.8, c 2),
f. Engage the tirfor
®
by unlocking the release lever
(fig.8, c 3),
g. Extend the line with the manoeuvring lever
(fig.8, c 4) until the juxtaposition of the two holes of
the tension indicator (fig.8 d),
h. Connect the mobile connector to the belay support.
Only one operator is allowed per mobile connector
(fig.8 d),
i. Possible installation set-up (Fig. 9).
CAUTION
Before installation, check that the area under the
lifeline being installed is clear of all persons.
Before tensioning the line, check that the arrow
engraved on the tensioner is pointing toward the
slack strand of the anchor line.
4.2. Dismantling
To loosen the line, operate the reverse lever (Fig. 8, c 5)
of tirfor
®
then disengage the tirfor
®
to remove the cable.
Then unhook both connectors from the anchor points.
CAUTION
Before loosening the line, make sure that no one is
attached to the line.
Check that the area under the lifeline is clear of all
persons.
5. Inspection before use
Inspect the belay support before each use.
Check that the absorber is not tripped and that the line
is tight (Fig. 8, d) by juxtaposing the two holes of the
tension indicator.
The Tirsafe™ T3 lifeline is an anchorage that meets
the requirements of EN795-2012. It is also tested for
3 people at 150kg each. It is adjustable from 5 to 30
metres. The resistance of the end anchorages must be
greater than 30 kN.
Check the compatibility of the fall arrest with the
environment of the installation of the lifeline.
Check that the supervisor will not hit any obstacles
during and after a fall.
To circulate on the steel rope, use a Ø 11 mm steel wire
connector, compliant with EN362.
6. Conditions of use
To connect to the tirsafe™ T3 lifeline, the supervisor(s)
must use, as a mobile anchor point, a 10mm dia. steel
wire connector complying with standard EN 362.
