D-Ring Extender For Fall; Application Limits; System Requirements; Capacity - Falltech 83662D Instrucciones

overhead SRD. Type B and C allow the transfer of anchorage connection between a
deceleration devices while maintaining 100% tie‐off.
DO NOT attach a SAL/SRD or other connectors to the user's dorsal D‐ring while this
product is in use.
2.1.1 Fall Restraint: The D‐ring extender, when installed by a Competent Person, may be
used in restraint applications, to prevent the user from reaching a fall hazard. No free
fall is permitted.
2.1.2 D‐Ring Extender For Fall Arrest Application: The D‐ring extender may be used as
part of a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). A PFAS will typically include an anchorage, a
Full Body Harness (FBH) and a deceleration device such as a Shock Absorbing Lanyard
(SAL), a Self‐Retracting Device (SRD), or a Vertical Lifeline (VLL) when used with a rope
grab/SAL.
D‐Ring Extenders can facilitate connection to an overhead anchorage by providing some
extra length to make it easier to connect the dorsal D‐Ring of the FBH to the
deceleration device, and provide 100% tie‐off while in transition between deceleration
devices. Maximum permissible free fall is six feet.
2.2 Application Limits: Take action to avoid sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, and
thermal, electrical and chemical hazards.
DO NOT:
 exceed the six foot limit of free fall
 use the D‐Ring Extender to hoist tools or materials.
 use the D‐Ring Extender to attach more than one user to an anchorage.
 exceed the weight capacity of the extender. See Section 3.
2.2.1 Positioning, Suspension, Rescue: This equipment is not suitable for and is not to
be used for positioning, suspension, or rescue applications.
3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Capacity: The capacity of the equipment in Specifications is listed as 425 lbs. (193
kg). To maintain ANSI Z359 compliance, limit total user weight (including tools, clothing,
etc.) to no more than 310 lbs. (140.6 kg).
NOTE: Any use by any worker exceeding a total user weight of 310 lbs. (including tools
and equipment) must utilize a PFAS designed for such weight. No more than one PFAS
or extender may be connected to one anchorage at one time.
3.2 Compatibility of Connectors: Connectors are considered to be compatible with
connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way
that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open
regardless of how they become oriented. Contact FallTech if you have any questions
about compatibility. Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other
system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non‐compatible
connectors may unintentionally disengage. Connectors must be compatible in size,
shape, and strength. Self‐closing, self‐locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by
ANSI and OSHA.
3.3 Compatibility of Components: Equipment is designed for use with approved
components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non‐
approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and
may affect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
3.4 Making Connections: Only use self‐locking snap hooks and carabiners with this
equipment. Only use connectors that are suitable to each application. Ensure all
connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is
