3.3 Using the Belt System
WARNING!
• The belt system for rescue and work positioning harnesses according to EN 358 is not designed for fall arrest
purposes. Wherever applicable, adequate protective equipment (like fall arrest systems) as well as redundant
security methods should be used.
• If a second carabiner is used with the belt system (for example for rescue loop according EN 1498 class B) the
carabiner must be able to be used with an EN 137 approved breathing apparatus (for example made of steel) and
must be approved according to EN 362:2004 for applications according to EN 358 and EN 1498. Do not use
carabiners made of aluminium.
• The Carabiner of the lanyard must not be used with the middle loop. This loop is only meant to be used for the
rescue loop type B.
• Exposure to high temperatures or contact to hot objects or flames might affect the effectiveness of the belt. The
heat load on the belt system should not exceed 100 °C. Short heat impacts above this temperature level can have
damaging effects on the strap material.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
A non-reversible temperature/heat indicator in the front pouch shows if a temperature of 104 °C have been reached at
exactly this specific point of the belt system. Once these indicator shows a black coloured square (normally white) the
belt system must not be used anymore for any load bearing work like for example restraining, positioning or rescue
rappelling. The product must not be used until a knowledgeable person has given written approval to do so after
conducting tests.
The circumference of the lanyards can be adjusted from 90 cm up to a wide of 130 cm. The rated load is 140 kg. It is
essential for safety to comply the following rules during use:
(1) Check the fastening and/or adjustment parts regularly.
(2) Select the position of the anchor point and the way in which work and rappelling is performed in such a way, that
any fall is avoided.
(3) Any load bearing straps should not get in contact with damaging hazards like for example being routed over sharp
edges.
Donning the Belts
(1) Close the waist belt with the Safe-Click buckle.
(2) Pull the waist belt tight with the two length adjustment straps on the side.
– In the most ergonomic position the weight of the SCBA is mostly balanced on the hip and less on the
shoulder harness.
For alphaBELT Pro the front pocket with the webbing loop must be positioned in the middle axis of the body.
Therefore the Safe-Click buckle should be positioned more to the left side.
