If the height of fall is to large, Fallprotec advise mounting 20 mm crimping rings on both sides of
each anchor means. The free length of cable can then be reduced to 5 times the distance between
two successive anchors, see Fallprotec calculation software.
The installer will write on the warning plate the maximum deflection of the wire rope in case of a fall.
Fallprotec provides a software Securope V5.0 for the calculation of the deflection.
6.1.
Structure on which the Securope is
installed
A competent person will check the strength of the structure in relationship with forces transmitted by
the end and intermediate anchors when a fall is stopped. Fallprotec makes software available,
approved by the notify body, which works out the forces in accordance with the site configuration and
the number of users.
The components of the Securope line withstand without permanent deformation the forces indicated
to table below and present a safety coefficient of two. The forces calculated by the software must be
lower than the allowable forces. If you note a force beyond the allowable force it will be necessary to
change one or more parameters of calculation, either to decrease the number of users or to decrease
the distance between two anchors.
