DANGER: Check that the indexing knob pin
(fig. 1, item 4) is properly engaged in an indexing hole
(fig. 1, item 9) of the guide rod (fig. 1, item 7).
IMPORTANT: Check that the total clearance
between the guide shoes (fig. 1, item 2) and the beam
is less than 10 mm.
IMPORTANT: Check that the securing strap is
not placed between the beam and the guide rod (fig. 1,
item 7).
8.3.3 Checking after installation
The installer must check that :
1. The rollclamp anchor point slides freely along the
entire user travel distance "C" planned (fig. 4).
2. The travel limit stops (fig. 4, item 11) are functional.
3. There is no risk of accidental unfastening of the
rollclamp identifiable along the entire user travel
distance "C" planned (fig. 4).

9. Using the system

Any operator which will be using the rollclamp anchor
system must be physically able to perform work at
heights and must have received the necessary training
prior to use as required by this manual, with demons -
tration under risk-free conditions using the associated
PPE equipment.
The method for connecting and disconnecting from the
deadman anchor point must be carefully explained and
all necessary measures must be taken to ensure that
the user has correctly understood the connection and
disconnection method. The description of the PPE
connector is given in fig. 6 which shows the connector
in position 1, open for installation, and in position 2,
closed on the securing strap. For operator safety, the
knurled locking nut should be fully screwed in once
connected. Use of a wire connector compatible with the
attachment point ring is essential. The rollclamp anchor
system must only be used for fall protection for one
person only, and must never be used as a suspension
point. This system must only be used with CE certified
PPE compliant with all applicable regulations and
standards. A complete fall-arrest harness is the only
operator harnessing system acceptable for use with a
18
rollclamp anchor system.
The rollclamp anchor system must never be used
beyond its limits as indicated in this manual.
Before using the anchor system, make sure of the
following:
1. The anchor point slides freely along the entire user
travel distance "C" planned (fig. 4).
2. The travel limit stops (fig. 4, item 11) are functional.
3. There is no risk of accidental unfastening of the
rollclamp identifiable along the entire user travel
distance "C" planned (fig. 4).
4. The mobile jaw is correctly locked on the guide rod.
5. The securing strap does not show any signs of
breaks, tears or abnormal wear.
6. The anchor point is visibly in good condition.
7. The temperature is between -35°C and +50°C.
8. The anchor point has been covered by a periodic
inspection over the past 12 months.
In the event of an anomaly or damage observed on the
anchor system, it should immediately be removed from
the area and repaired by a qualified technician.
The person in charge of use of the rollclamp anchor
system must provide for an operator rescue procedure
should an operator fall and for all other emergency
circumstances to allow evacuation of the operator
under conditions compatible with the operator's health
and safety. All operators should be equipped with a
mobile phone with an emergency number to be called if
necessary.
IMPORTANT: The operator must not, at any
time, be disconnected from the rollclamp anchor system
when working in an area where there is a risk of falling.
In particular, when the operator passes from one
anchor point to another, a pair of lanyards (or double
lanyard) should be attached at all times to the
operator's fall-arrest harness.
When the rollclamp anchor system has been subjected
to an operator fall, the entire anchor system and the
PPE concerned by the fall must be inspected before
they are returned to service by a technician qualified for
this purpose.

10. Dismantling

Prior to any dismantling procedure, the installer must
check the following:
• All the conditions ensuring safety during the
dismantling procedure as required by the applicable
regulations must be present.
• The rollclamp anchor system must not be in use or
likely to be used by an operator (Installation
equipped with several anchor points).
Dismantling procedure
1. Unlock the indexing knob (fig. 1, item 4) with
respect to the locking pin (fig. 1, item 5) by placing
