  • Page 1 End Termination APPLICATION PURPOSE: The Sayfline Multi-span Wire Rope Horizontal Lifeline System is designed for use as an anchoring means for one or two personal fall arrest system (PFAS) or fall restraint system. Use the Sayfline Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) where horizontal mobility and fall protection is required. The Sayfline Horizontal Lifeline may not be used for fall protection of material or equipment.
  • 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.

    E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the manufacturer’s instructions for both the lanyard and connector specifically allow such a connection). To any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur.
  • Page 5: System Installation

    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.

    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.

    Step 5. Inspect the intermediate brackets for wear or damage. Check brackets to make certain they are securely attached. Make certain all installed Sayflink sleeves pass freely through the intermediate brackets when moving along the system during normal use. Step 6. Inspect system labels. The labels must be present and fully legible. See section 9.0. Replace labels if missing or illegible.
