Quick Start Guide
alphaBELT Pro, alphaBELT Basic, alphaBELT Lanyard
WARNING!
The quick start guide does not replace the operating manual. It is imperative that the operating
manual be read and observed when using the device. In particular, the safety instructions, as well as
the information for the use and operation of the device, must be carefully read
and observed.
Do not use the device for fall arrest.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
alphaBELT Pro and alphaBELT Basic (hereafter also referred to as belts) are waist belts for restraining
and positioning. In accordance with EN 358 and EN 137 they can be integrated into a breathing
apparatus (hereafter referred to as SCBA) or can be used to carry other specifically certified devices on
the back. The belts are intended to secure the user at the workplace (positioning function) or prevent the
user from reaching a place from which the user could fall (restraining function). The belt system is
personal protective equipment (PPE) for protection against falls from heights.
The alphaBELT Lanyard (hereafter referred to as lanyard) for itself can be used as lanyard according to
EN 358, as lanyard for work positioning and as a rescue loop according to EN 1498 class A and C and
as well as an anchor device according to EN 795 B.
In combination with the alphaBELT Lanyard the alphaBELT Pro also function as a rescue seat in
accordance with EN 1498 class B to hold the body of the user.
Connecting the Belts with the Lanyard
(1) Lace in the end loop around one D-ring on the left or right side of the belt to connect the lanyard with
the belt.
(2) It is recommended to adjust the lanyard in the longest position by positioning the length adjustment
buckle close to the D-ring.
(3) It is also recommended to store away the lanyard in the back pouch of the belt and to close the back
pouch with the two buttons.
(4) To avoid the lanyard hang around in a large loop, reduce the length of the free hanging lanyard by
connecting the carabiner with the middle loop and with the opposite D-ring.
(5) Reduce the size of the free hanging loop with the length adjustment buckles.
(6) Store SCBA connecting buckles close to the belt under the holders for the SCBA connecting buckles
to avoid free hanging parts.
(7) Close the front pouch of the alphaBELT Pro even if a carabiner is connected to this webbing loop.
Using the Belt System
It is essential for safety to comply the following rules during use:
(1) Check the fastening and/or adjustment parts regularly.
(2) Select the position of the anchor point and the way in which work and rappelling is performed in such
a way, that any fall is avoided.
(3) Any load bearing straps should not get in contact with damaging hazards like for example being
routed over sharp edges.
Donning the Belt
(1) Close the lap belt with the Safe-Click buckle.
(2) Pull the waist belt tight with the two Length adjustment straps on the side.
• For alphaBELT Pro the front pocket with the webbing loop must be positioned in the middle axis
of the body. Therefore the Safe-Click buckle should be positioned more to the left side.
