APPlICATIONS
Rebel SRL-Rs are used as a component
in a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS)
where a combination of worker mobility
and fall protection is required (i.e.,
inspection work, maintenance work,
confined space work, rescue, etc.). In the
event of a fall, the Retrieval Hand-Crank
is used to raise or lower the victim to
safety.
lIMITATIONS & ReQUIReMeNTS
Before installing and using the Rebel
SRL-R always consider the all limitations
and requirements specified in the CE
General PPE Instructions (5902392).
eMeRGeNCY ReSCUe ONlY:
SRL-R is an EN 1496 Class B Rescue Lifting Device.
It has been certified for a maximum load of 140
kg and a maximum descent distance of 2 m. The
Retrieval Hand-Crank is for rescue only in the event
of a fall. It is not intended for lowering or lifting
individuals in Work Positioning or Personnel Riding
applications. It is also not intended for lowering or
lifting materials.
COMPATIbIlITY
System Compatibility: Protecta Rebel
SRL-Rs are designed for use with Protecta
approved components and subsystems
only. They should only be used with
Protecta or DBI-SALA Tripods and their
designated Mounting Brackets and
Bases (see Figure 1). Substitutions or
replacements made with unauthorized
components or subsystems may
jeopardize compatibility of equipment and
may effect the safety and reliability of the
complete system.
Connector Compatibility: Connectors
are considered to be compatible with
connecting elements when they have
been designed to work together in such
a way that their sizes and shapes do
not cause their gate mechanisms to
inadvertently open regardless of how they
become oriented. See the CE General PPE
Instructions (5902392).

that may affect your safety before,
during, and after a fall. Consider all
Limitations and Requirements defined
in the CE General PPE Instructions
(5902392).
Overhead Anchorage: The Rebel SRL-R
can be hung from an overhead anchorage
connection point by the Carabiner on the
Swivel Eye. See the Rebel Cable Series SRL
Specific Instructions (5903238) for details.
Tripod Installation: Figure 1 illustrates
installation of the Rebel SRL-R on a
Protecta Tripod. The SRL-R is mounted
The Rebel on a leg of the Tripod and the Lifeline is

with your Tripod and Mounting Bracket
for details.
