Remove the device. MAIN PRINCIPLES OF USE OF ADJUSTABLE HORIZONTAL LIFELINE AE 320 Horizontal lifeline can be used only by personnel trained in works at a height beforehand. Before each use visually check tensioner mechanism, snap hooks, webbings, seams for any mechanical, chemical or thermal damages. The assessment must be carried out by a person who will use horizontal lifeline AE 320. After any defect is found or condition of horizontal lifeline raises any doubts – DO NOT USE IT. When using horizontal lifeline AE 320 it is necessary to keep adequate distance (CLR - Fig.) between working webbing level and ground level. This distance depends on length of the retracted webbing and is shown in figure [M]. The device holds label [O] to mark date of the next inspection, i.e. date of first use plus 12 months. Do not use the device if inspection is not valid. ·Working webbing AE 320 must be tensioned (without slack) between two structural points using manual force (0.5kN-1.5kN). If the calculated value CLR in a specific point is greater than free space under the user: - use accordingly shorter energy absorbing and connecting component; - use fixed fall arrest system with rigid line. Before each use of personal fall protection equipment, the component of which is device AE 320, please check whether all system parts are properly interconnected and cooperate with other components without any interference, and compliant with valid standards: EN 361 - Full body harness; EN 354 - Lanyards; EN 355 - Energy absorbers;EN 362 - Connectors (Snap hooks) EN 795 - Anchor devices ·Horizontal lifeline can be used only with devices by the manufacturer of horizontal lifeline AE320: - retractable type fall arresters (EN 360), - energy absorbers with lanyards (EN 355), - guided type fall arresters including a flexible anchor line (EN 353-2). ·To connect components of the system use connectors compliant with EN 362 only. ·Horizontal lifeline AE 320 can be used in explosion hazard zones 1, 2, 20, 21 & 22. ·When using horizontal lifeline AE321 protect it from contact with oils, acids, solvents, alkali, open fire, molten metal, sparks (welding, metal cutting) and sharp edges. ·It is forbidden to make any modifications of horizontal lifeline AE320. DEVICE MARKING (IDENTITY LABEL) Meaning of marking symbols [N], [O] (a) - device model (type); (b) - name of device; (c) - reference no.; (d) - XX - length in metres: (10, 20 or 30); (e) - month and year of product manufacture; (f) - product serial number; (g) - number and year of European standard; (h) - CE mark and number of notified body; (i) – not: read manual; (j) – marking of manufacturer or distributor responsible for controlling manufacturing of the equipment. Date of next inspection [P].PERIODIC INSPECTIONS The device should be subject to periodic inspection after at least each 12 months of usage, starting from date of the first use. Periodic inspection can be carried out only by a competent person with adequate knowledge and trained in periodic inspection of personal fall protection equipment. Conditions of the device use may influence the frequency of periodic inspections which may be carried out more frequently than after 12 months of usage. All periodic inspections must be recorded in the identity card for the device. MAXIMUM TIME OF USAGE The device can be used for 10 years from the manufacturing date. NOTE: Maximum time of usage depends on intensity and environment of use. If the device is used in heavy conditions, being exposed to frequent contact with water, sharp edges, extreme of temperatures or exposed to corrosive substances, it may be necessary to withdraw the device after only one use. WITHDRAWAL FROM USE The device must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed if it has been used to arrest a fall, failed a periodic inspection or there are any doubts concerning its function. Horizontal lifeline AE 320 is a component of fall protection equipment. It should be used for works requiring frequent mobility in the horizontal. Horizontal lifeline AE 320 complies with EN 795 Type B (portable anchor points for fall protection equipment). Horizontal lifeline AE 320 provides protection for one, two or three persons. CONSTRUCTION Work rope length adjuster (tensioner) is made of galvanized steel [B]. Working webbing made of polyester, of 10 m or 20 m, 35 m in width. [B] Connecting webbing, made of polyester, of 50 mm in width and 0.70 m in length [B] INSTALLATION OF HORIZONTAL LIFELINE ON STRUCTURAL ANCHOR POINTSNOTE! ·Horizontal lifeline AE321 can be equipped only with certified snap hooks complaint with EN 362. ·Shape of anchoring elements on a structure in attachment points should prevent self-acting disconnection of horizontal lifeline AE320 – [H], [I], [J]. ·Structural anchor points must be located on the same level if possible. Deflection by 15° is allowed. Strength values for attachment points and and deflection values for the system are given in Table 1. ·Pay special attention to range of user operation by considering the line deflection or sliding down the line and the related risk of a fall from edge [K]. ·Maximum load transferred when operating between the line and the structure are given in table of deflections (below) and in figure [M]. · If horizontal lifeline is a part of a system arresting a user's fall, it must be equipped with an element reducing braking force acting on user to maximum of 6 kN. ADJUSTING LENGTH OF HORIZONTAL LIFELINE AE 320 Install working webbing correctly in length adjusting and tensioning device [C]. Manually tension working webbing [D]. Tension working webbing with use of tensioner lever to remove webbing slack (0.5kN-1.5kN) [E]. To prevent accidental loosening of working webbing it is necessary to check the webbing for correct tensioning before use [F]. TABLE 1. REQUIRED STRENGTHS OF ATTACHMENT POINTS (F). SYSTEM DEFLECTION (D) Instruction manual ! !· Personal fall protection equipment should be used only by personnel trained in this respect. !· Personal fall protection equipment must not be used by a person with medical condition that could affect the safety of the equipment user in normal and emergency use. !· Draw a rescue plan to be implemented during operation whenever necessary. !· being suspended in personal fall protection equipment (e.g. after arresting a fall) please note symptoms of suspension trauma. !· to avoid negative effects of suspension make sure a corresponding rescue action plan is prepared. It is recommended to use support tapes. !· It is forbidden to make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written consent. !· Any repair shall only be carried out by manufacturer of the equipment or his certified representative. !· Personal fall protection equipment shall not be used for any purpose other than intended. !· before each use make sure that all parts of the fall arresting system cooperate correctly. Periodically examine connections !and fitting of components of the equipment to prevent any accidental loosening or !disconnection. !· It is forbidden to use a combination of equipment where function of any one item is affected by, or interferes with the function of any other. !· before each use of personal fall protection equipment carry out a detailed inspection to ensure that the device is operable and operates correctly. !· In particular, before use inspect all accessible elements of the equipment for any damages, excessive ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES FOR USE OF PERSONAL FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT D [m] F [kN] 2,20 2,70 18,00 20,00 5 m - 7,5 m > 17,5 m - 20 m > 15 m - 17,5 m D [m] F [kN] 2,40 3,00 18,00 20,00 3/4
