1. Function and Application: The Retractable type fall arrester is compliant to EN 360:2002. The product meets requirements of Customs Union Technical
Regulation "Safety of Personal Protective Equipment" TP TC 019/2011. The product consists of: two snaphooks; housing; retractable lanyard (line);
load Indicator (See figures 4); and RFID tag (See figures 5), if present. The line material is nylon webbing and it is marked on the product label PN
10125631/10153888 (see figure 9, pos. 13). The product is part of a fall arrest system to EN 363:2008 (Brazilian standard: ABNT NBR 14628; Argentina
standard: IRAM 3605, Customs Union Technical Regulation TP TC 019/2011) when attached to the fall arrest attachment of a fall arrest harness to EN 361
(Brazilian Standard: ABNT NBR 15836, Customs Union Technical Regulation TP TC 019/2011) and an appropriate anchor point. The product shall not be
used outside its limitations and intentions. See harness instructions for approved attachment points.
The product may be used to provide continuous fall protection while ascending, descending, or moving laterally. If a user falls, the device will
automatically stop the user's descent in a short distance while limiting the fall arrest force on the user's body. The product is intended to give users
100% tie-off when moving around the work site. One of the legs must be attached to an appropriate anchorage connector while the user moves to
the new location. At the new location, attach the second leg to an appropriate anchorage connector before disconnecting the original leg. Repeat this
procedure until the final destination has been reached.
The product may be RFID enabled. For more information on how to use RFID for the product, visit www.msanet.com/fieldid.
The product must be used vertically only.
