COMPATIBILITY
This product can be used in combination with other personal protective equipment compliant
with Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European
Union and compatible with the relative instructions for use (if there is compatibility with the
devices c 'is good functional interaction). An anchor must be compatible to the device to which it
is connected; if the connection is incompatible, the safety functions of the system (release or
breakage ...) may be compromised. Compatible devices are, for example, manufactured and
certified harnesses according to EN 12277, dynamic ropes certified according to EN 892,
connectors in accordance with EN 362 or 12275, etc ...
Warning: Please avoid the use of these anchors with others made of different materials. For
example, do not use plates made of stainless steel and galvanized steel anchors, because also in a
modest hostile environment there will be obtained effects of galvanic corrosion.
Contact Raumer if you are not sure of the compatibility of your device.
OPERATING MODE
See informational sheets about:
Installation
This installation note concerns the combination of the belay groups with their anchors Hang Fix.
Make sure about the hardness, the nature and compactness of the rock on which you'll insert the
anchor. Clean the rock and remove any friable part; create a pitch to put the Hang Fix and the
plate. The area for fixing the anchor must be absolutely massive. In addition to all the other
evaluations, a good method is to beat vigorously on the chosen area with a hammer. The "sing"
of the rock must be dry and clear, and not as an isolated and "march" plaque.
You perform the first hole in the rock, (the lower one, is intended to support the load on the ring)
with an appropriate electropneumatic hammer-drill, taking care to make it perpendicular to the
drilling plane. The depth of the hole should be at least 5mm longer than the total length of the
Fix.
Attention to the diameter of the drill bit: must be exactly as the diameter of the anchor. At this
point it is necessary to proceed to fix the Rock that supports the ring. After mounting the Hang
Fix on the plate you have to put the Hang Fix into the hole; hit with the hammer on the head of
the threaded fix and introduce it until when the plaque is tight to the rock. Orient the Rock in the
direction of the load that will be applied and then, with a hex wrench fix the nut, operating a
suitable torque, observing the estabilished torque. Take now the other plate Rock and hold it in a
vertical position, above, to the right or left of the plate just placed below, until you find the
perfect area to perform the second hole.
Attention!!! The chain with two long rings will not have to retain also the ring but it will have to
be spaced from the ring of about 1 cm. In this manner the ring will be able to move freely to
accommodate the applied load. The safety of the double anchor is guaranteed by the Rock placed
higher. However we recommend, for a good placement, to perform this second hole in an area
within a maximum angle of 45° from the vertical of the first, left or right of it. This possibility is
guaranteed by the "large" chain (see nomenclature - 7), which allows the passage through it of
the Rock, of the ring and also of a possible carabiner. For practical reasons it is preferable that the
short side of the "large" chain is facing outwards. Proceed then finally to the realization of the
second hole and to the complete fixing of the belay group, respecting the same specifications of
the first insertion
Attention!!!
- When using a plate , always make sure the nail is made of the same material and that the
diameter is compatible.
- These devices are resistant to corrosion according with standards (excellent resistance to
corrosion in the interior, but not excellent environment or surrounding area of the seaside - see
general information/lifetime ) .
- The installation must be tested in an appropriate manner, for example by calculation or test.
- The installer must be a responsible person or organization, who has received an appropriate
training.
Resistence
Art. 218 - 180 - 312 - 535
of incorrect installation and/or use in rocks or inappropriate environments or the use of the
Belay Group with unsuitable bolts.
- Do not connect the rope directly to the ROCK plaque (see technical data sheet)!!!
- The load bearing of the anchor can not be guaranteed if the rock in which it is installed is not
very homogeneous, not consolidated or with micro-cracks. In these cases we recommend using
the anchor with a HANG FIX as long as possible or prefer a different type of anchoring system,
or choose a different area in which to install it.
Precautions for use
Attention: after a fall or a major impact, check:
rock around the anchor: there must be no cracks;
anchor: observe it visually and check that there are no cracks, deformation, and
verify that the anchor is not rotated or moved;
If you're in doubt replace it. Use only if the external temperature is between -40 ° and + 50 ° C.
For safety purposes, it's essential to systems of arrest fall from a heigh, that the anchor point is
always placed, if possible, above the user; you use a complete safety belt; fixing is performed so
as to minimize potential falls and their height.
The position is essential for safely blocking a fall: carefully verify what will be the height of the
fall, length of rope and "pendulum" effect to avoid all possible obstacles (es. The ground,
rubbing against the rocks, etc.). Get used to always double systems, during your activities, for
extra security.
Always make sure that connectors inserted in their anchorage are free to move and position in
the right direction of load application.
COMPLEMENTARY STANDARDS INFORMATIONS
provide for a rescue plan and define the means to act quickly in case of difficulties
(It means to be trained to apply the appropriate rescue techniques).
allow a sufficient height under the user so, in case of fall, do not collide with
obstacles (remember that also the length of the carabiner can affect on the height
of the fall).

GENERAL INFORMATIONS
Life time
The potential life time of the Raumer's products is undefined (it is advisable to replace them
anyway after 10 years). It is known that equipment may degrade progressively when it is used,
so the actual life time of the products can not be quantified precisely, but occurs when the
product becomes obsolete in the system or when it meets one of elimination.
The lifetime is also reduced considerably by the conditions and intensity of use: heavy use,
contact with chemicals substances, use near sea water or splashing water, high temperatures,
abrasions or cuts, damage to parts/components of the product, chemical environments, mud,
sand, snow, ice, competence of the user, violent shocks , storage, are some of the factors that
accelerating product wear.
Warning: the duration may be limited to only one use in specific conditions (contact with acids,
dangerous chemicals products, if the product suffers sharp falls or tensions, etc ... this list is not
exhaustive).
In a marine environment or other very corrosive environments, it would be better to use
materials with high corrosion resistance, class 1, such as titanium; the installer is invited to
monitor and inspect the anchors at regular intervals to check their status.
Attention: the anchors installed in marine areas, on rocks containing ferrous inclusions or other
non-certain mineral nature, in some cases may be subject to violent corrosive attacks that can
compromise their use even in very short times. Attention: The life of the anchorage is limited in
the case of an environmental stress corrosion cracking SCC.
Elimination
Do not use the product:
after a violent fall, since no visible deformations could be considerably impaired
resistance;
