OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ANCHORAGE DEVICE (COMPLYING TO EN795-A)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
This manual must be translated (according to regulations) by the dealer, in the language of the country where the
equipment is used. This manual must be read and understood by the user before using the PPE. The test methods
described in the standards do not represent actual usage conditions. It is therefore important to study each work situation
and that each user is fully trained in different techniques in order to know the limits of the various devices. The use of this
PPE is restricted to qualified persons properly trained or working under the direct responsibility of a competent superior.
The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the
instructions in this manual. The user is personally responsible for any use of this PPE which does not comply with the
requirements of this manual and in the case of non-compliance with the security measures applicable to PPE specified by
this manual. The use of this PPE is restricted to persons in good health, certain medical conditions may affect the safety of
the user, in case of doubt, contact a physician. Adhere strictly to the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and
storage. This product is inseparable from a comprehensive fall protection system (EN363), whose function is to minimize
the risk of body injury from falls. Before any use, refer to the recommendations for use for each component of the system.
The fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body grip to be allowed for use with a fall arrest system. The fall arrest harness
(EN361) may be connected to its attachment point A, to a connection element or component in personal protection fall
arrest systems (restraint systems, work positioning systems (EN358), fall arrest systems (EN353-1, EN353-2, EN355, EN360),
access systems via ropes and rescue systems). The fall arrest harness (EN361) is connected to other elements of the system
by connectors (EN362). In these cases, follow the instructions described in their own manual.
WARNING:
This anchoring device (EN795) will never be directly connected to a harness. This anchoring device shall only be used in a
PPE fall arrest system. Any other use can jeopardize the safety of the user.
INTRODUCTION :
The LV504A(LV504) and LV506A(LV506)anchor points are anchorage devices in accordance with the requirements of
European Standard "EN795: 2012 Type A".
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Materials: (See reference table ①). The different possibilities are described in the table board (See reference table ①).
ESTABLISHMENT AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS:
The installation of the device must be made according to the instructions of the installation manual of the device.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(See USAGE GUIDE for LV504A(LV504) or LV506A(LV506)ANCHORS). The anchor points can be used in 3 ways: Axial, radial
and ceiling. Only the LV506A(LV506)mounted on the LV522 can only be used in axial and radial. These anchors must be
installed if the host structure has a minimum strength of 12kN. The user must ensure that the support materials in which
the structural anchor devices are attached are adapted for this constraint.
WARNING:
The attachment point must be located above the user and have a minimum resistance of 12kN according to EN795.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
For safety reasons and before each use, check:
- that the anchorage complies to the instructions
- that the fasteners are properly tightened (tightening torque kN observed)
- that the anchorage is appropriately installed
- that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked
- that the device does not show any sign of corrosion
- that the yearly control of the device is still valid
- that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met
- that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement in
the case of a fall.
- the vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal
functioning of the fall arrest system.
The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H + additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance H measured from the
initial position to the final position (user's balance after the fall arrest). Check that there is enough height below the user
according to the equipment used. A height of 2m minimum must be left below the user's feet. Check that the overall layout
restricts swinging to a minimum if a fall should occur.
WARNING:
. Under no circumstances should the user open, adjust or operate the equipment when using the LV504A(LV504)/
LV506A(LV506). These manipulations can be performed only when the risk of falling is avoided.
. Before each use, check that the anchor is securely fixed on its support.
Any check or inspection of an anchoring device must be made when the user is safely anchored on another anchoring
device that has been already checked and validated.
This equipment should be operated only by trained, competent and in good health people, or under the supervision of a
trained and competent person.
In case of doubt on the status of the device (traces of oxidation) or after a fall (deformation), it should not be reused and /
or be returned to the manufacturer or a competent person mandated by them.
. It is forbidden to remove, add or replace any component of the anchor without the agreement of the manufacturer.
Temperature: LV504A(LV504)/ LV506A(LV506) should be used in work environments with minimum temperatures of -40°C
/ maximum of +50°C.
Chemicals: Put the equipment out of service in the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect the
operation.
