Prohibited Use; Associated Equipment - Tractel tempo 2 Manual De Empleo Y De Mantenimiento

– for calculation of the air draft, you must take into
account the vertical deflection of the belay support
at the points that may be affected by the operator(s)
falling, in all possible cases,
– establish a description of the area of site to be
covered by the installation and a description of the
installation of the tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline
To be set up with all its components, as well as a site
plan, depending on the configuration of the site. The
site plan will provide access areas and connection to
the lifeline free of any risk of falls from height.
The preliminary study will take into account any
presence of electrical equipment in the vicinity of the
installation of the lifeline to protect the operator against
such hazards.
Any change in the configuration of the area covered by
the lifeline, that might affect safety or use of the facility
will be subject to a review of the preliminary study
before further use of the lifeline. Any changes to the
system should be carried out by a technician who has
the technical expertise to install a new lifeline.
Tractel SAS is at your disposal to establish the
®
preliminary study necessary for the installation of your
lifeline. Tractel SAS can also provide you with the
®
necessary PPE against falls from height, and assist you
with installations in place or installation projects.

tensioned or if its installation angle exceeds the 15°
limit with respect to the horizontal (Fig 5).
4. to use a lifeline which has stopped a fall, without the
device having been inspected and tested after a fall
by the manufacturer or an authorized repair agent,
5. to hang the belay support forming a closed loop by
a connector on the structural anchor (fig.3),
6. to use the AS30S strap with a lark's head knot
(fig.2),
7. to connect to the temporary lifeline using PPE
equipment in accordance with EN 360 or EN 353-
2 if the manufacturer of this equipment has not
documented in writing its possible use on the
Tractel temporary lifeline,
®

9. to use a device for more than twelve months without
having had it checked by the manufacturer or a
repair company authorised by him.
10. to use the lifeline for a length greater than 20 m
between structural anchor points (fig 2),
11. to use the tempo 3 lifeline for a length greater than
18 m between anchor points (fig.2),
12. to use a lifeline if the vertical clearance is insufficient.
See table 2 (normal use after a fall) and 1 (restricted
use).
13. to use a lifeline if the anchor points are of insufficient
strength or considered as being of insufficient
strength,
14. to use a lifeline if at least one of the two anchor
points is damaged,
15. to use a lifeline if, during a fall, the user(s) risk
hitting an obstacle,
16. to use a lifeline if the user(s) has not read and
understood this manual,
17. to use a lifeline at temperatures exceeding +60°C
or below -35°C or in an aggressive chemical
environment (Fig. 6),
18. to connect two lifelines with no intermediate anchor
point (Fig. 4),
19. to use a light alloy connector as a mobile anchor
point,
20. to use an abrasive connector as a mobile anchor
point,
21. to use a lifeline positioned at the user's feet (Fig. 5),
22. to install and use a tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline without
first having determined an efficient and safe rescue
procedure should a rescue operation be necessary.
23. Use the tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline if the safety
function of any of the associated parts is affected by
the safety function of another part or if it interferes
with it.
