Installation Instructions
Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail
Fallnet
®
SB 200 Rail in combination with a solar installation (photovoltaic
or solar thermal) or a railing system and a correspondingly high load of
suitable bulk material (e.g. ZinCo system soil, Zincolit
®
, gravel 16/32 mm
or slabs in a chippings bed) represents an anchoring device in accordance
with DIN EN 795:2012 types D and E for fall protection on flat roofs
with a roof pitch of up to 5°.
A fixing point (the so-called runner) may only be used by one person (up
to 100 kg) at a time and this person should be wearing personal protective
equipment (PPE, e.g. ZinCo PPE-Set) in accordance with EN 363. The
safety harness, in accordance with EN 361, can only be used in conjunction
with tested and approved components.
Important note:
We would like to state explicitly that, regardless of product liability, ZinCo
shall only assume liability for the consultancy process where installation
has been carried out in line with ZinCo site planning. Installation without
planning carried out by ZinCo is at your own risk. The assembly and
installation instructions as well as the instructions for use, both of which
are supplied with the products, must be observed regardless of this.
We recommend having Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail planned or checked by ZinCo
Technical Department before starting installation.
1. Prior to installation
1.1 Check of the scope of delivery and condition of system components
The delivery of an object-specific Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail safety device
comprises:
a. Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail components
, like e.g.
ZinCo Solar Base
®
SB 200, of hard plastic (ABS), length ca. 2.0 x 1.0 m,
height ca. 43 mm, with integrated aluminium profiles and
two fastening screws; can be used as support plates,
e.g. for the ZinCo SGR solar base frames
or in conjunction with corresponding
post holders made of galvanised steel
for a wide range of railing solutions.
SB Rail holder made of stainless steel, for connecting the rail to the solar
base, available in lengths of 600 mm and 1200 mm.
Rails made of a high quality aluminium alloy in standard lengths of 2.0 m,
3.0 m and 6.0 m, butt joint connectors, end pieces, runners, etc.
The required quantities and characteristics of the components can be
found in the delivery note.
b. Documents included with each order:
Installation Instructions, User Instructions and Control Card.
The installation plan (if planned by the ZinCo GmbH) is provided separately to
the person stating the order and is to be handed to the client.
Please note:
Incomplete, incorrect or defective deliveries are to be objected
immediately.
1.2 Check of the initial situation
The basis for a perfect function of Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail is that at least five
SB 200 solar bases (in a row or across a corner), mechanically connected
to each other by mounting profiles or guardrail rails, are present and serve
as a load-bearing surface (total area thus at least 10 m²).
Before starting installation, check whether the roof construction is suitable
for the loads to be applied, make sure that the maximum possible roof
pitch (5°) is not exceeded, check whether the waterproofing, root protection,
etc. have been applied professionally. If there are any doubts, these
must be clarified and if necessary eliminated before installation.
1.3 Admissible types of installation
The following types of installation are admissible for Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail:
a. With multi-layer build-ups:
Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail is applied above the drainage layer (e.g. Fixodrain
®
XD 20-Bahnen) directly over the corresponding filter sheet.
b. With mono-layer build-ups:
Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail is applied directly over the protection layer (> 300 g/m²),
whereby drainage elements of a comparable height (e.g. Floradrain
®
FD 40-E) are subsequently to be fitted into the spaces between the SB 200
elements.
2. Installation instructions
2.1 Completing the Solar Base SB 200/Attaching the Rail Supports
Fallnet
®
SB 200-Rail can be combined with the ZinCo Solar Base
®
SB 200 in two different ways:
- ZinCo Solar Base
®
SB 200 and Solar Base Frame SGR (see variant 1):
The rail supports are to be placed on the screws of the Solar Base
SB 200. Then the Solar Base Frame is to be placed on the rail
supports and attached (> 20 Nm) to the SB 200 base plate using both
nuts.
- Guardrail Base GB-Rail / GB-Rail Corner (see variant 2):
The rail supports are placed on the posts of the post supports of the
GB-Rail / GB-Rail Corner. It should be connected (> 20 Nm) using a
carriage bolt (including U-washer and a stop-nut).
To achieve the frictional connection between rail supports and grid units,
the first grid element unit is moved over the rail support with its colour
coding and pressed by foot to snap. Install all grid units in such a way
that the rail support is located centrally in the grid unit (one more in the
centre resp. two more at the beginning and the end of the rail). All grid
elements of a grid unit must be plugged together at the connection
points and thus form a tension distributing disc.
