This manual must be translated (if necessary) by the distributor into the language of the country where the equipment is to be used.

For your own safety, you must strictly follow the usage, inspection, maintenance and storage instructions.

KRATOS SAFETY cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring following use other than that provided for in these instructions;

do not use this equipment beyond its limits!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS:

The IN-LOCK concrete anchor system is a temporary, transportable and reusable anchorage

point. It is intended for use by one person at a time. It must be installed ONLY in concrete surfaces in good condition with no cracks and with a minimum

resistance of: 23 MPa. It must be installed in a structure that can resist the stress exerted by the anchorage point itself, during fall arrest using a fall arrest

system, when an arrest force generates a maximum of: 6 kN. IN-LOCK can be installed on horizontal, vertical or inclined plane surfaces.

Warning:

IN-LOCK must not be used as a handling/lifting mechanism. IN-LOCK must not be left in the concrete structure.

IN-LOCK must not be installed in hollow surfaces, brick, stone, wood, metal surfaces, or any other surface except for as described above. IN-LOCK

must not be used as an anchorage point for a life-line type subsystem. Only a fall arrest system can be installed above: self-retracting fall arrester

(EN360), or lanyard shock absorber (EN355), or sliding fall arrester (EN353-2), attached to a fall arrester harness using connectors (EN362). Do not

install hanging/rope access work systems on IN-LOCK.

Installation:

1/ Select a concrete surface as defined above, and identify the best place for the hole.



Measurement to observe for drilling the hole:

2/ Drill a hole 18-19 mm in diameter - 110 mm deep, with a suitable concrete bit and using an industrial punch. The hole must be perfectly aligned and

even for its entire length.

3/ IMPORTANT: Clean the hole with compressed air to remove any drilling debris. Do the same when reusing any hole made previously for installing

IN-LOCK.

Never install IN-LOCK in an existing hole if you are not sure of the drilled diameter.

4/ Insert IN-LOCK by pulling on the pressure button. The two guide wires must remain parallel, without twisting, while pulling on the snap fastener,

with the wire guide located as close as possible to the blocking cone. Drive IN-LOCK into the hole until the placement indicator is 2/3 in the hole.

Release the pressure button.

5/ Pull gently on the anchorage ring to check that IN-LOCK is secure.

6/ Once this procedure is complete, remove IN-LOCK by pulling on the pressure button. If IN-LOCK is stuck in the hole, insert a thin metal rod into

the hole and push the blocking cone towards the bottom of the hole, to release the blocking half-moons.

IF “IN-LOCK” HAS BEEN USED TO ARREST A FALL OR IN CASE OF DOUBT, ITS USE MUST BE DISCONTINUED

IMMEDIATELY:

CUT THE 2 WIRES OR THE MAIN SAFETY CABLE TO MAKE IT UNUSABLE.

The anchorage point serves as personal equipment to protect against falls from a height. We recommend assigning it to one user only.

We recommend that the installation of this anchoring point be supervised by a qualified individual.

The connections between the D-ring anchorage connector and the fall arrest system must be made using a connector (EN362). When in use, regularly

check that the connector is closed properly.

Place the anchor system so that the fall arrest system is located above the user’s position. Check that the installation is completed in a way that limits the

swinging effect and the risk and height of falls. For safety reasons and before each use, make sure that, in case of a fall, there are no obstacles to prevent

the normal operation of the fall arrest system attached to the anchorage point.

User safety relies on the effectiveness of the equipment and full understanding of the safety instructions contained in this leaflet.

Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user’s safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (<

-30°C or > 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system

during use, sharp edges, friction or cutting, etc.

The readability of the product’s markings must be checked regularly.

Before and during use, we recommend that you make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue, should this be required.
