OPERATION :
During the user's movement phases, the cable or strap is wound and unwound on a drum. The cable or the strap is constantly held tight
by a return spring. In the case of a fall, a lock blocks the progress of the cable or strap and instantly stops the initiated fall.
For fall arrest devices equipped with an energy absorber :
The shock absorber comprises a folded and sewn tear strap, protected by a thermoplastic film.
The tearing of the thermoplastic film, that of the strap and its unfolding absorbs the shock generated by the fall arrest.
For fall arrest devices equipped with the fall indicator function: a red colour appears on the swivel during a fall.
AN105: device equipped with a manual system which locks the strap through inertia for comfort of the movements. Press / engage the
button to lock, press again the button to release

ESTABLISHMENT AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS :
It is recommended to assign a fall arrest device for each user.
This PPE can only be used by one person at a time.
The fall arrest system will be attached to an anchorage point above the user (minimum resistance: 12 kN (EN795).
Unless otherwise indicated, the fall arrest device should not be used in the "HORIZONTAL USE" configuration.
During all operations, be careful not to twist the strap : the user's movements should not cause twisting of the strap, do not let a twisted
strap wrap inside the casing of the fall arrest device.
A pendulum movement can occur during a fall. To limit this pendulum movement, the work area or the lateral movements must be limited.
They should not exceed a 40
°
angle from the vertical axis passing through the anchor point of the fall arrest device
⑧
.
It is recommended not to suddenly drop the cable or strap when it is unwinding
⑦
. It is best to accompany it back into the casing.
During use, the overall system must not be in contact with cutting elements, sharp edges and structures of small diameter, oils, harsh
chemicals, fire, hot metal, all types of electrical conductors...
May provide a protective sheath.
For safety reasons and before each use, check :
- That the fall indicator (located on the swivel) is not triggered (the red colour should not appear)
- that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked
①
- that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met
- that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement in the case of a fall.
- The vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal functioning of the fall
arrest system
④.
The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H + additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance H measured from the initial position
to the final position (user's balance after the fall arrest). (See reference table).
Provide a safe distance from power lines or areas with an electrical hazard.
USAGE LIMITS :
Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the operation.
Textile products or those containing textile elements (harnesses, belts, shock absorbers etc...) : maximum life of 10 years in storage
(from date of manufacture), 7 years after the first use
The shelf life is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly:
- Non-compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for transport, storage and use
- "Aggressive" work environment: marine atmosphere, chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges...
- Particularly intensive use
- Shock or significant constraint
- Disregard for the product item's history
Warning: these factors can cause damage invisible to the naked eye.
Warning: certain extreme conditions can shorten the shelf life by a few days.
If in doubt, always remove the product for it to undergo either:
- A review
- Destruction
The shelf life is not a substitute for periodic verification (minimum annually) which will assess the condition of the product.

No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer nor without using their
procedures.
Do not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this
manual.
Do not use this equipment beyond its limits.
To ensure its working condition and therefore the safety of the user, the product should be checked systematically:
1 / Visually inspect the following points :
- State of the strap or rope: no fraying, no boot cut, no visible damage at seams, no burning and no unusual narrowing
- Condition of seams and fasteners: no visible damage.
- That the shock absorber is not triggered (start of tear or tearing of the thermoplastic film and strap).
- Condition of the metal parts: no wear, no deformation, no corrosion or oxidation
- General condition : look for any possible damage due to ultraviolet radiation and other climatic conditions
- Correct operation and locking of connectors
- That the fall indicator (located on the swivel) is not triggered (the red colour should not appear)
- Correct operation of the retractable function and cable lockor of the strap.
Test the blocking device of the reel in/out of the cable or strap by taping out.
Maintain the blocked position and release the tension to see if the cable or strap returns in the device.
Specific conditions such as humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt, paint, oil, glue, corrosion, wear of the strap or rope, etc.. can significantly
reduce the operation of the fall arrest device.
