managed at all times.
Check the structure to which you fasten the
anchor device as to whether or not it is of
suitable and sufficient strength for the purposes
of supporting any foreseeable loading in cluding
that in an emergency contingency. Prior to using
it have the anchor device checked by a
competent person. The product can be used as
a belay for the rescuer after a single fall –
this must only be done if a suitable structural
anchor (tree / branch) is chosen. (After all, in
the type examination, dynamic loading was
tested twice without making any readjustments
of or other corrections to the anchor device.) The
structural anchor (tree / branch) must withstand
more than 12 kN.
Always configure the length of the anchor device
to the object it is to be looped around. When
using the product in a single or double loop
configuration, the length of the rope that is
actually utilized for the looparound must be at
least three times as long as the circumference of
the object it is to be looped around so that the
rope is oriented in the pulling direction.
A work positioning system must always be
maintained as taut as possible from the anchor
point to the belayed person (avoid rope slack).
WARNING:
When working with fall arrest note that
- an energy absorber according to EN 355 is
needed that reduces dynamic forces to max.
6 kN.
- the lanyard including fall arrest systems and
connection elements must not exceed 2 m.
- a clearance of 7m underneath the user is
needed to avoid ground impact.
MODES OF USE
This anchor device may be used in three different
ways:
pic.1/page 5) as single loop
pic.2/page 5) as double loop
pic.3/page 5) as constriction loop
Sirius Loop 10mm P-S (art. no. 7351152) and Sirius
Loop 10mm P-L (art. no. 7351151), respectively, are
replacement parts of TEUFELBERGER‘S pulleySA-
VER (from 2013). In this case, they are used as pru-
sik loops. For detailed information on how to mount
it properly, please consult the Manufacturer‘s Infor-
mation document provided with the pulleySAVER.
Never carry out work with this product if, as a result
of your physical and mental condition, your safety
might be compromised in scenarios of normal use
or in emergencies!
Do not place this product near sharp edges!
Care should be taken to ensure that the rope (or
any other part of the system) is routed away
from surfaces that may damage the rope (or any
other component), or that suitable and sufficient
protection is appropriately placed to ensure the
rope and other components are protected.
Keep away from surfaces which may cause damage
to the the work equipment e.g.sharp or
abrasive surfaces or edges.
The anchor device shall be used for personal pro-
tective equipment and not for lifting devices -
as in rigging operations!
The product meets the requirements of the ANSI
Z133-2012 standard as regards the required mini-
mum breaking load (MBL
≥
24,02 kN) for climbing
ropes and prusik loops. It does not meet the diame-
ter requirements for climbing ropes. There exists no
diameter requirement for prusik loops.
Prior to every use, this product must be subject to a
visual inspection in order to verify its integrity, readi-
ness for use and proper functioning.
Once the product has been subject to a fall, its use
must be discontinued immediately. If the slightest
doubt remains, the product must be retired or may
not be used again until a duly compentent person,
having subjected such product to the required te-
sting and inspections, has approved its further use
in writing.
It must be ensured that the recommendations for
use with other components be complied with: ro-
pes need to meet EN 1891, while carabiners need
to meet EN 362 and any further PPE must meet
the harmonized standards under the regime of EU
guideline 89/686/EEC. Ensure all neighbouring com-
ponents are compatible. Ensure all components are
correctly configured. Failure to do so increases risk
of serious injury or fatality.
It is the responsibility of the user that a relevant and
‘live’ Risk Assessment is in place for the work to be
carried out which includes emergency contingen-
cies. A plan of rescue measures that covers all fo-
reseeable emergencies needs to be in place before
this product can be used. Prior to and during use,
rescue measures that can be executed safely
and effectively must be considered at all times.
