Page 2: System Requirements
A. HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SPAN: The maximum horizontal lifeline total length is 180 ft. with a Zorbit HLL energy absorber installed on each end of the system. See Figure 1. Systems that are more than 30 ft. in length must include an intermediate bracket for every 30 ft. span. The span length must be reduced when clearance is limited. - Page 3 mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact DBI/SALA if you have any questions about compatibility. Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage.

WARNING: Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Use caution when using this equipment around moving machinery, electrical and chemical hazards, and sharp edges. SYSTEM INSTALLATION: Figure 1 shows a typical horizontal lifeline system installation. When using an energy absorbing lanyard to connect to the system, the anchorages must be located at a height above the working level which will limit the free fall to six feet. - Page 6 determine the span length and evaluate the required clearance. Figures 6 and 7 apply to one or two users connected to the system. Figure 7 - Self Retracting Lifeline Clearance Requirements Step 2. Determine the correct orientation of the intermediate brackets. Depending on the positioning of the cable, the intermediate brackets may be installed in one of three orientations.

Page 8: Use Of The System
OPERATION AND USE: WARNING: Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your fitness to absorb the impact from a fall arrest. Age and fitness can affect your ability to withstand fall arrest forces. Pregnant women and minors must not use the Sayfline Multi-span Wire Rope Horizontal Lifeline System. - Page 9 rescue. Tolerable suspension time in a full body harness is limited, so a prompt rescue is critical. IMPORTANT: Use care when handling an expended Zorbit energy absorber. The tearing of the energy absorber material produces extremely sharp edges. RESCUE: With the number of potential scenarios for a worker requiring rescue, an on site rescue team is beneficial.
