Page 7: Installation
Installation System Design 3.1.1 General Systems shall be designed to limit free fall, swing fall and maximise fall clearance. Where possible, systems should be installed as close to the centre of the ladder or climbing zone as possible. The V-Line Vertical Lifeline shall be installed on an angle no greater than 15º off vertical. 3.1.2 System Selection To install a V-Line Vertical Lifeline , top and bottom brackets, support fixings, cable guides and cables need to be selected from Figure 2 to Figure 6. - Page 8 All fixing used to attached the V-Line system to the substrate that were not supplied by Safetylink shall be M12 (1/2") or M16 (5/8") in diameter. Fixing shall be stainless steel grade 316 or 304 or hot dip galvanised or zinc plated steel grades 8.8 or 8. Fixing shall be installed with spring washers, lock nuts or thread lock adhesive to prevent loosening.
- Page 9 3.2.3 Concrete 3rd Party In addition to the part numbers specified in Section 3.2.2, SafetyLink recommends the use of the following chemical and mechanical fixings for installation of the V-Line Vertical Lifeline into concrete. Refer to the manufacturer's instruction for proper preparation, installation and edge distance.
- Page 10 Support Bracket Installation 3.3.1 Weld on Plates (top and bottom) The weld on plates shall be installed with a 6mm fillet weld down each side of the plate (300mm weld per plate). The weld on plates are made from stainless steel 316, an appropriate filler material shall be used depending on the substrate to which the plate is being welded.
- Page 11 3.3.3 Bolt on Plates with 100mm Extension (top and bottom) The bolt on plate top and bottom brackets are each fixed with 2x fastener specified below. 1 Steel - M16 as per Section 3.2.4. 2 Concrete - M16 fastener as per Section 3.2.2 (Drill size 18, embedment depth 120mm)or 3.2.3. Figure 11 3.3.4 Bolt on Tube (top and bottom) The bolt on plate top and bottom brackets are each fixed with 2x fastener specified below.
- Page 12 3.3.5 Top Bolt on Tube no extension above top rung 1 Position the tube with the top rung of the ladder between the top 2 holes. Install the supplied U-bolt with washers, spring washers and nuts and tighten to 35Nm and install nut tension indicators.
- Page 13 3.3.6 Top Bolt on Tube up to 900mm extension above top rung 1 Position the tube with the third rung of the ladder between the bottom 2 holes. Install the supplied U-bolt with washers, spring washers and nuts and tighten to 35Nm and nut tension indicators.
- Page 14 3.3.8 Custom Structure For structures being fabricated or installer manufactured brackets, hole spacings should be set at 101.6mm with a hole size of 16mm. The thickness the top and bottom brackets can span is 40±1mm. Centreline edge distance to the front of the structure shall not exceed 20mm. Figure 16 Ø16 Ø16...
- Page 15 Bottom Bracket The Bottom bracket is installed with 1x M12 bolts supplied with the bracket. The supplied bolts are stainless steel and suitable for securing the top bracket to any of the support brackets. The fixing shall be tightened to 40Nm and once tight, a minimum of 2 thread shall extend past the end of the nut.
- Page 16 Tensioner 1 Loosen the top nut and ensure the 2 cable grip section contain a set of jaws. 2 Push the cable through the cable grip sections capturing the jaws between the 2 cable grips. ⚠ Ensure the jaws are orientated correctly. 3 Lift the assembly until the spring it up against the bottom bracket and pull the cable through the assembly.
- Page 17 Cable Guides 1 Position the cable guide with the appropriate rung of the ladder. Install the supplied U-bolt/ Hex Bolts with washers, spring washers and nuts and tighten to 35Nm and install nut tension indicators. ⚠ On systems greater than 20m or installed in high wind areas, every other cable guide should be installed in the alternate direction (ie left facing, right facing left facing, etc.).

Page 18: Limitations Of Use
Limitations of Use Fall Clearance When planning your fall protection system, it is important to accurately assess all components of your system in order to avoid injury. Figure 22 provides guidance on how to calculate fall clearance. In Figure 5, (H) represents free fall for the shuttle (0.3m), energy absorber deployment (0.4m), as well as the estimated D-ring side of the harness (Refer the manufacturer's information), (SF) represents the recommended safety factor of 1m, (FC) represents the total allowable fall clearance. - Page 19 Hazards Use of this equipment in the presence of hazards may cause damage to the equipment and/ or result in the function of the equipment being impeded. These hazards include but are not limited to; extreme temperature, sharp edges, chemical reagents, electrical conductivity, abrasion, cutting, climatic exposure and rotating or moving machinery.
- Page 20 Figure 24 Figure 25 ☠ ⚠ ⚠ Planning Before starting work, plan your working at heights and rescue systems by accounting for all hazards present in the work place and allowing for the available fall clearance. Ensure all users are fit, healthy and capable of safely operating this equipment as well as implementing the rescue plan.
- Page 21 Connecting the V-Line Shuttle to the System 1 Lift the attachment lever to the top position. 2 Rotate the latch to fully open. 3 Tilt the device 45 degrees till the slot in the front aligns with the cable. 4 Push the device on to the cable. 5 Rotate the device back in to the vertical plan.
- Page 22 7.2.1 The V-Line system is serviceable only by trained and authorised installers. Contact SafetyLink to find your nearest available installer. The service interval will be determined by the condition in which it is used. Harsher conditions will require more frequent servicing.
