considerations.
be capable of traveling well along the
length of the lifeline and should remain
perpedicular to the worker throughout the
course of work. It is recommended that
an on-site qualified person evaluate the
conditions before installation and use of
the retractable with the horizontal lifeline
system. In addition, always refer to the
instructions provided with the horizontal
lifeline system to ensure compatibility of
the self-retracting lifeline with the system.
This device shall be installed and used in
such a manner as to minimize the potential
for a swing fall. User must never be
exposed to a swing fall hazard.
Do not allow lifeline to become slack.
3.0 Installation/Use
WARNING
All Honeywell Miller Self-Retracting
Lifelines must be inspected and tested
for locking and retraction before each
use (see 6.0 Inspection & Maintenance).
The installer of the SRL must not be
exposed to a fall hazard while mounting
the unit.
IMPORTANT!
Overhead mounting of a self-retracting
lifeline is
However, Falcon Edge Self-Retracting
Lifelines have been specifically designed
and successfully tested in accordance
with the standards for horizontal use and

Special Requirements, Warnings &
Lifelines
Limitations pertaining to All Leading
Edge Applications
must
• The anchor point must be at the same
height or higher than the edge at which a
fall might occur.
• The allowable angle of redirection of
the lifeline portion of the device at the
edge over which a fall might occur (as
measured between the two sides formed
by the redirected lanyard) shall be at
least 90 degrees.
• The potential for a swing fall must
be minimized for worker and lifeline
protection. The worker must never work
on the far side of an opening, opposite
the anchor point.
• Falcon Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines are
specifically designed to reduce forces to
both the worker and lifeline connection
that extends beyond a leading edge.
• Applications for leading edge retractables
include steel decking, concrete and
wood surfaces. Despite the wide range of
applications for these units, surfaces in
contact with the equipment must still be
evaluated by a qualified person in regards
to creating premature wear and/or failure
due to excessive abrasion or cutting of
materials.
Special Anchorage Requirements for
Leading Edge Applications
Honeywell Industrial Safety approves a
connection height at foot level/working surface
or higher for Falcon Edge Self-Retracting
Lifelines. Minimum set-back distance is
18 in. (0.5m). Lateral edge distance (work
zone) from perpendicular to the anchor
point is dependent on set-back distance of
anchor point (see DIAGRAMS A & B and Fall
Clearance Tables in APPENDIX B).
A Falcon Edge unit anchored at a set-
back distance of 25 ft. (7.62m) with a
user working at the maximum permitted
lateral edge distance (work zone) of 25
ft. (7.62m) will experience the greatest
swing fall allowed for a Falcon leading
edge application. It is imperative that
swing fall be limited as much as possible.
This can be accomplished by increasing
the set-back distance and/or limiting the
work zone. A swing fall hazard must not
exist in the path of the potential swing
fall.
