3.0 INsTAllATION ANd Use

WARNING: Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Consult Capital Safety when using this
equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual. Some
subsystem and component combinations may interfere with the operation of this equipment. Use caution when
using this equipment around moving machinery, electrical hazards, chemical hazards, sharp edges, and abrasive
surfaces.
WARNING: Consult your doctor if there is any reason to doubt your fitness to safely absorb the shock from a
fall arrest or suspension. Age and fitness seriously affect a worker's ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women
or minors must not use DBI-SALA equipment unless in an emergency situation.
3.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Before each use of this equipment, carefully inspect it to assure that it is in serviceable
condition. Refer to Section 5 for inspection details. Do not use if inspection reveals an unsafe condition.
3.2 PLANNING: Plan your system before starting your work. Take into consideration factors that affect your
safety before, during, and after a fall. The following list gives some important points to consider:
A. ANCHORAGE: Select an anchorage capable of supporting the loads specified in Section 2.6.
B. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where system components may be in contact with or abrade against
sharp edges. If working around sharp edges is unavoidable, provide protection by using a heavy pad
over the exposed sharp edge.
C. AFTER A FALL: Components subjected to the forces of arresting a fall must be removed from service
and destroyed.
D. RESCUE: The employer must have a rescue plan in place prior to the use of this equipment. The rescue
plan must provide for a quick safe rescue.
3.3 INSTALLATION REqUIREMENTS: The following requirements must be observed to ensure safe effective
installation of the Detent Anchor:
A. LOCATION: Select a location on a suitable strength anchorage (see Section 2.6) that will provide
overall safety and proper loading (see Figure 6).
B. CONCRETE: The concrete in which the anchor is secured must have a compressive strength of 3,000 psi
(2,685 kPa). The Concrete Detent Anchor is not intended for use in lightweight concrete, hollow block,
grout, or stone. The concrete base material must be at least 7.5 inches (19 cm) thick.
C. MOUNTING HOLES: Figure 7 illustrates proper mounting hole location for the Concrete Detent Anchor.
Mounting holes for the Detent Anchor must be located 8 inches (20 cm) from any free edge and
sufficient distance from any obstruction that may impede free rotation of the D-Ring when a Personal
Fall Arrest System is attached. When mounting multiple Detent Anchors, they must be separated by at
least 10 inches (25 cm). Drill bits used to drill mounting holes must conform to ANSI B212.15.
D. ADHESIVES: To ensure proper bonding, only Hilti HIT-150 MAX, Simpson SET Epoxy-Tie, or Fisher
FIS-V Adhesives should be used to secure the Anchor Socket in the mounting hole.
