Technical Data - KRATOS SAFETY FA 20 100 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

This notice must be translated (possibly by the retailer) into the language of the country of use.
For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and storage.
KRATOS SAFETY cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice; do not use
this equipment beyond its capabilities and limits!
USE AND PRECAUTIONS
A fall arrester on flexible anchor line is a piece of personal protection equipment; it should be allocated to a single user (it
can only be used by one person at a time). When the user moves (up or down), it slides along the anchor line.
In the event of a fall, the device stops the fall instantly on the anchor line. While using the fall arrester in static mode (on
inclined plane) the locked position must be activated (1) according to references (see table below).
The device is simple to use, small, light, and robust and does not require any particular maintenance.
User safety relies on the effectiveness of the equipment and full understanding of the safety instructions contained in
this leaflet.
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
The sliding fall arrester will be connected directly to an attachment point at the chest of an EN361 harness (A
or 2x A/2) using a connector (EN362).
The anchor line is linked to an anchor point by a connector (EN362), the rope grab is attached onto a safety point
on a harness (EN361). A flexible anchor line should always be weighted by a counterweight.
This kind of device must be assigned to a single user (it can only be used by one person at a time).
Sharp edges, small diameter structures and corrosion should be avoided as they may affect the performance of
the system (2) ; or they should be adequately protected.
The anchorage point for the anchor line should be situated above the user (R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN
- EN795:1996).
The fall arrest on anchor line must always be used directly below the anchor point (3).
Ensure that the general arrangement limits swinging in the event of a fall, and that the work is done in such a
way as to limit the risk and the height of a fall.
For safety reasons and before each use, make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle obstructing the normal fonctioment of the system.
Before and during use, we recommend that you take all the necessary precautions for a safe rescue should it be needed.
This equipment is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person. Warning! Certain
medical conditions may affect user safety; if in doubt, consult your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (<
-30°C or > 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system
during use, sharp edges, friction or cutting, etc.
Before using, always check that the locking system is in working order and that the fall indicator is not triggered (if there is one on the connector). If you
are in any doubt as to the condition of the equipment (traces of oxidation) or after a fall (deformation), do not use it and/or return it to the manufacturer
or a competent person authorised by the manufacturer. Do the same for the anchor line.
It is not allowed to do any repair on the product, do not remove, add or replace any component of the product.
Chemical products: put the system out of use if it comes into contact with chemical products, solvents or fuels which could affect its workings.

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO USE A ROPE GRAB ON THE SPECIFIC ANCHOR LINE ON WHICH IT HAS BEEN CERTIFIED
SUITABILITY FOR USE:
The equipment should be used with a fall arrest system as specified in the data sheet (see standard EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted
on the user during the arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body gripping device that may be used. It may be dangerous
to create one's own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Therefore, it is important to read the
recommendations on using each component in the system before use.
VERIFICATION:
Service life of the product is 10 years (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by KRATOS SAFETY), but it may
be increased or reduced according to use and/or the results of the annual inspections. The product must be checked systematically in case of doubt or after
a fall and at least every year by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, in order to guarantee its resistance and thus the safety of the end-user.
The product data sheet should be completed (by writing) after each verification; date of inspection and date of next inspection must be indicated on the
data sheet, it is also recommended to put date of next inspection on the product.
SERVICING AND STORAGE; (Comply strictly with these instructions)
During transport, keep the product in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface; clean it with water, wipe it with a rag and hang it up in a well-
ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the same procedure for components that have become damp
during use. The system must be stored in its packaging in a dry, well aired place protected from extremes of temperature.
The minimum free space should be: 3 m under the user's feet.
