- Load bearing element (2.00 x 2.67 m) consisting of four
pre-assembled grids to hold the load.
Important:
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 planning. Installation without planning carried out by
ZinCo is at your own risk. Regardless of this, the installation
manual and instruction manual must be observed.
Please check the following prior to installing the anchor device
Fallnet

SR:
0.1 Delivery scope / condition of the system components
Check:
that the shipment is complete and in perfect condition.
Important:
incomplete, faulty or incorrect shipments should
be reported immediately.
The delivery scope per Fallnet

0.2 Check the situation before installation
Prior to installation please check that the roof construction is
sufficiently dimensioned for the required loads, waterproofing
and if required root barriers are in place and the actual sub-
base for the Fallnet
®
SR is properly and evenly laid and is not
steeper than 5 degree (=8,8 %). If you are in any doubt, please
clarify prior to installation. The surface must be free of dirt, oil
and moss or lichen prior to installing Fallnet
®
SR. If necessary,
sweep the surface.
0.3 General points
The Fallnet
®
SR can be installed, for example,
- On the protective layer above the waterproof layer
(e.g. ZinCo protection mat SSM 45 with single-course
green roof or ZinCo Filter Sheet TG with a gravel roof)
- Please ensure that there are no objects (e.g. concrete
slabs) in the area of the Anchor Point (radius of at least 0.5 m
- on the filter sheet (e.g. for multi-course green roof)
- Also ensure that the bulk material to be used as the
load on the Fallnet
®
SR extends at least 50 cm beyond
all four edges of the grid elements
Important:
The Fallnet
®
SR must always be in direct contact with the
load (bulk material)! It must, therefore, be filled and covered
completely with suitable bulk material (UV protection!).
Zincolit or ZinCo system earth, gravel or some other similar
bulk material can be used. Must only be installed on roofs
with a pitch of a maximum 5 degrees ( = 8.8 %)!
The required load (dry weight) for Fallnet
®
SR is at least
110 kg/m²
. This is to be increased to 130 kg/m² if the roof
pitch is greater than 2° (3.4 %) and it is possible to fall in the
direction of the slope.
Where the Fallnet
®
SR is to be incorporated into a green roof,
a min. 300 mm wide gravel strip should be left all around the
Anchor Point, so that it is easier to see.
1.1 Measuring The Anchor Point
Measure out the position of the Anchor Point using a roof site
plan. Please ensure that the anchor eye is positioned at a
distance of at least 2.50 m from the roof edge.
1.2 Connect marked grid with Anchor Point
Place the punched opening in the middle of the coloured
element of the pre-assembled grid (1.00 × 1.33) over the
anchor point. Gently click into place using your foot, so that
it fully covers the base plate and the vertical locking tabs on
the base plate engage behind the outer bar of the adjacent,
black grid.
1.3 Positioning the grid and Anchor Point
The grid and anchor point are positioned over the measured
point (see 1.1).
1.4 Connecting all four grids to each other
Then, connect the other three grids in such a way that the
Anchor Point is in the centre of the connected grid area. The
four pre-assembled grids provide a base area of about 5.3 m² in
total. The Fallnet
®
SR must be placed fully on a level surface,
all connection points must be clicked into place. The connec-
tion points can be separated again using a hammer. Faulty
elements must be replaced.
1.5 Applying the required load
The installed Fallnet
®
SR is now filled and covered with the
load (e.g. ZinCo System Substrate or gravel), for requirements
see item 0.3 General Points.
2. Adapting to building-specific features
With Fallnet
®
SR, the form (2.00 × 2.67 m) specified in the
Standard can be adapted to suit the particular building
situation, where necessary.
