SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS: DBI/SALA equipment is
designed for use with DBI/SALA approved components and
subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-
approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of
equipment and may effect the safety and reliability of the complete
system.
2.2 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS: Connectors are considered to be
compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to
work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause
their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they
become oriented. Contact DBI/SALA if you have any questions about
compatibility.
Connectors ( hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of
supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22kN). Connectors must be compatible
with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment
that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally
disengage. See Figure 3. Connectors must be compatible in size,
shape, and strength. Self locking snap hooks and carabiners are
required by ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA.
2.3 Making Connections: Only use self-locking snap hooks and carabiners
with this equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each
application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and
strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all
connectors are fully closed and locked.
