CREATING THE ANCHOR POINTS ON THE WINDOW FRAME
in metal, plastic, and wood windows.
Checking the anchor substrate thoroughly (stability and anchoring of the window
frame) is the most important prerequisite.
Test loads according to EN HD 1000 = 1.25 kN (125 kg) per anchor point.
ATTENTION: (the system is not suitable for sliding windows.)
The coaxial horizontal bores in the window frame should only be drilled by
competent experts
(e. g. specialised metal company). If necessary, choose a different restraint system (e.g. PPE) for
drilling the anchor points.
Should you have doubts about the stability of the anchor point, you can test the strength of the
window frame and the anchor point.
A suitable
test device
PG 01
has been developed by the manufacturer INNO
TECH
.
WORK SITE (determining the elevation of the anchor point)
Stand on window sill:
If the window sill is the highest elevation of the work site, install at least
2 telescopic rods at the anchor points marked in red on the window frame (Fig. 6).
Top guardrail always 1,000 mm above the window sill - intermediate guardrail between
top guardrail and bottom window frame.
On tall windows, vertical distance above top guard rail no greater than 470 mm.
Stand above the window sill (tall windows):
If the work site can only be reached from the
ladder, you can use several safety bars to secure the window or door opening. The maximum
intermediate distance is 470 mm. Constructions like these require that all anchor points on the
window frame be secured with telescopic bars (Fig. 6a).
