Tightening Torque - KRATOS SAFETY KS2001 Guia De Instalacion

The 2 threaded rods should be fitted in the first free holes in the plates, as close as possible to the structure,
Screw the nuts up into contact with the plates,
Tighten the nuts, making sure that the plates are hard against the structure and parallel with each other,
Finish the tightening by "half-turns" simultaneously on each nut, making sure that at least 2 threads are visible on each side of the
threaded rods.
TIGHTENING TORQUE: 20 daN/m. Caution! Excessive tightening may distort the plates.
The fastenings and any accessories supplied are designed to suit your situation; if in doubt contact us!
When the installation is completed check that the top point is aligned with the intermediate attachment points (if any) and the bottom
point.
1.2) ENERGY ABSORBER (optional):
The KRATOS SAFETY energy absorber is designed to absorb the energy produced by the fall of a person on the anchor line; the energy
Material: Stainless Steel SS 316 L
Fastenings: STAINLESS STEEL (316 A4-70)
Triggering threshold: 2.0 kN
Maximum stroke: 110 mm
Strength> 15 kN
Weight: 1.350 kg
absorber must be fitted on the top anchorage point.
The presence of the absorber in the system is:
l mandatory, if the slider is not fitted with an absorber, part no: FA 20 200 01,
optional, if the slider is fitted with an absorber, part no: FA 20 200 00.

It is supplied ready to be installed as a preload of 80 to 100 daN is factory set. It is fitted with fall indicators (a red ring at the bottom – if
activated). For safety reasons, never use a system if the fall indicator has been activated.
Tools required:
Two 19mm spanners or 2 adjustable spanners.
Installation:
Position the energy absorber on the top point,
The absorber should be installed vertically, with the rotating part to the bottom to allow the cable to rotate freely over the whole length of
the installation,
Fix the energy absorber using the fastenings supplied,
Tighten the nut reasonably without excess, making sure that at least 2 threads are visible on the screw after tightening.
The other end of the absorber (swivel part) should be fitted to the support.
The connection between the top anchorage point and the absorber plays a key role in the event of a fall; pay particular attention to it.
1.3) THE ANCHOR LINE (cable) – Top end
The KRATOS SAFETY anchor line is made to suit to the length of the installation.
Material: STAINLESS STEEL SS 316
Structure: 8 mm 7x19 metal core wire
Strength > 25 kN
Weight: 0.28 kg/m
Depending on the situation, the top end of the anchor line may:
Connect the cable directly to the top point with a steel connector (EN362). Check that the connector is properly closed and
