MSA Latchways SRL Serie Manual De Instrucciones página 7

System requirements: A fall arrest system comprises of a structural anchor point, full body
harness, connector (karabiner/snap hook) and SRL. All elements in the system shall be used
only as specified by the elements manufacturer. It is essential for safety that the anchor device
and anchor point shall always be positioned, and work carried out in such a way, to minimise
both the potential for a fall and potential fall distance.
Anchor point requirements:
EN/IRAM/NBR
ANSI
CSA
OSHA
Note: If multiple fall arrest systems are attached to the same anchor point the strength
requirement shall be multiplied by the number of personal fall arrest systems.
Note: The Anchor point position shall consider any risks posed by moving machinery and
pendulum falls. To ensure positive locking of the Latchways SRL a clear, unobstructed fall
path is necessary. Do not use the Latchways SRL when working on materials such as sand
or grain, as insufficient fall speed may prevent lock in the event of a fall. It is essential to verify
the free space required beneath the User before each use, so that, in the event of a fall there
will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle. A minimum of 3 m (10 ft) (including a
safety factor of 1 m) from the working level to the nearest obstruction, lower level or ground
underneath a hazard should be maintained.
WARNING! Incompatible components can lead to connectors accidentally disengaging.
The User shall ensure all connectors are correctly engaged and locked.
1. Connectors shall conform to EN 362:2004, ANSI Z359.12-2009 and/or CSA Z259.12-11
and be self-closing and self-locking.
2. A full body harness conforming to EN 361:2002, ANSI Z359.1-2007 and/or CSA Z259.10-12
shall be worn when using the Latchways SRL.
3. An emergency written rescue plan shall be in place, to be implemented in the event of a fall.
Cleaning, storage and transportation: Clean the Latchways SRL exterior, lifeline and
labels (to maintain legibility) with warm water (max. 40ºC/100°F) and non-biological detergent
then rinse. An excessive build-up of dirt or paint etc. on the lifeline may compromise the
retraction. If the Latchways SRL becomes wet, either from being in use or from cleaning,
position the Latchways SRL such that any excess water can drain and leave to dry naturally
away from direct heat. The full body harness and any other system components shall be
cleaned and stored according to manufacturer's instructions. Store the Latchways SRL in a
cool, dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight. Examine the Latchways SRL after
long periods of storage prior to returning it to service. During transportation the device shall
be protected to prevent damage or contamination.
Alterations and additions: No alterations or additions are permitted without Latchways'
prior written consent.
The anchor point shall be able to sustain a minimum load of 12 kN
(2700 lbs). Refer to EN 795:2012 or CEN/TS 16415:2013.
The anchor point shall be able to sustain a minimum certified
load of 3600 lbs (16 kN) or 5000 lbs (22.2 kN) in the absence of
certification. Refer to ANSI Z359.14-2012 CLASS B.
The anchor point shall be able to sustain a minimum load of 22.2 kN
(5000 lbs). Refer to CSA Z259.15
The anchor point shall be able to sustain a minimum load of 5000 lbs
(22.2 kN).
