2 <br />Product Specific Applications <br />Personal Fall Arrest: Metal Energy Absorber may be used as a component in a Horizontal <br />Lifeline (HLL) system in Personal Fall Arrest (PFAS) applications. Maximum 2 users per Metal <br />Energy Absorber HLL system when working in Fall Arrest. Structure must withstand loads applied <br />in the directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. per PFAS in system. Maximum <br />free fall is 6’, or up to 12’ if used in combination with equipment explicitly certified for such use. <br />Applicable D-ring: Dorsal. <br />Restraint: Metal Energy Absorber may be used as a component in a HLL system in Restraint <br />applications. Restraint systems prevent workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. <br />Maximum 4 users per Metal Energy Absorber HLL system when working in Restraint. Always <br />account for fully deployed length of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the <br />directions permitted by the system of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint <br />systems may only be used on surfaces with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable <br />D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder. <br />!WARNING Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious <br />injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point. <br />For all applications: worker weight capacity range <br />(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs. <br />Limitations <br />Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall before the <br />user strikes the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 3’ safety <br />factor, deceleration distance, user height, length of lanyard/SRL, harness stretch, lifeline deflection, and all <br />other applicable factors. <br />Diagram shown is an example fall clearance calculation ONLY. <br />TOTAL FALL CLEARANCE = DEFLECTION + FREE FALL + DECELERATION + STRETCH + Safety MARGIN + Swing Fall <br />Work Surface <br />Anchor Point Metal Energy Absorber HLL with 6” Sag <br />Deceleration Distance <br />Lifeline Deection <br />Harness Stretch (1.5’) <br />Safety Margin (2 ’) <br />Free Fall Distance <br />Work Surface <br />Swing Fall (If Applicable) <br />DEFLECTION What’s the length of your HLL span? <br />39.05” <br />SPAN = <br />DEFLECTION =94.83” <br />10’ <br />52.01” <br />20’ <br />62.18” <br />30’ <br />71.00” <br />40’ <br />86.99” <br />60’ <br />79.14” <br />50’70’ <br />102.89” <br />80’ <br />111.35” <br />90’ <br />120.38” <br />100’ <br />Anchor Point <br />Clearance data determined based on HLL level with harness dorsal D-ring (from a standing working position). <br />Always account for additional free fall if HLL is below dorsal D-ring.
