Any references to “connecting subsystem” in this manual include, and apply to, the EAL12NC-72Y-C13 and all integral components. Any references to “anchorage connector” in this manual include, and apply to, the CBH013X.
COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS Connecting subsystem must only be coupled to compatible full body harnesses and anchorages. Compatibility must be determined by an engineer or other qualified person. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snaphooks from being engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: it must be a locking type snaphook, and it must be “designed for” making such a connection. “Designed for”...

ANCHORAGE CONNECTOR CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS 4” MAX 2.5” Ø MAX Safety Gate Hinge *Note: When closed and locked, safety must contact the gate hinge as shown. SCENARIO C SCENARIO D SCENARIO A SCENARIO B Inspect every connection. Ensure gate has closed and locked. Ensure dangerous loading conditions are not present and will not develop in the event of a fall.

TRANSVERSE LOADING Transverse/Side loading tested using ANSI Z359.12 fixturing in static and dynamic load conditions. Dynamic Testing performed according to ANSI Z359.18 Type A requirements. Minimum Static Breaking Strength: 3600-lbf. DANGEROUS LOADING CONDITIONS 12” Ø or Smaller Warning: This anchorage connector is designed to deform under fall arresting forces. Do not make connections that may allow the anchorage connector to disengage the anchorage when deformed.
ENERGY ABSORBING LANYARD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS Connect the Dorsal D-Ring Connector directly to the Dorsal D-Ring of a compatible full body harness. This is the only permitted connection for the Dorsal D-Ring Connector. D-Ring extensions or other products that may increase the length of this connecting subsystem are strictly prohibited.
INSPECTION GUIDELINES Official periodic inspection must be made at least semiannually. The inspection must be performed by a qualified person other than the intended user. If severe weather or conditions exist then inspections must be 1. Inspect webbing and stitching for damage due to cuts, abrasion, tears, excessive heat, chemical contact, excessive stretching, ultraviolet deterioration, rotting, mildew, and any other factors that may interfere with proper function of the connecting subsystem.

CALCULATING FREE-FALL DISTANCE When calculating free-fall distance, the anchor height should be greater than the sum of energy abosrbing lanyard length, deceleration distance, worker height, and minimum fall clearance. Additionally, care must be taken to avoid collisions while falling obstacles, swing falls and additional hazards.
