For bending radius included between 2,75m and 15m in all the three direction, it's possible to require the bending rail to Harken. The bent rail has 250mm of straight rail at the extremity due to the production process. For more information contact Harken. See paragraph Installation Layout – bent rail 1, 2 and 3.

PREREQUISITES AND LIMITATIONS The R27LS rail has been designed to support any accidental operator fall. In order to guarantee its correct operation, and maintain the mechanical integrity in case of fall, each user must wear the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended by workplace safety regulations.
Page 16
If the harness becomes loose it must be properly adjusted again from a safe position. WARNING! Consult Harken when using this equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual. Altering or intentionally misusing this equipment may cause the system to fail which can cause a fall, which could result in severe injury or death.

DESIGN Load angle limitation Rails can be mounted at various angles on the vertical mounting structure. Harken IN9606, IN9606.CLEAR, IN9608, IN9608.CLEAR, IN9565, IN9565.CLEAR, IN158, IN158.CLEAR, INCAR1-CURVE, INCAR1-CURVE (BLACK), INCAR2-CURVE, INCAR2-CURVE (BLACK) trolleys have the ability to handle loading at an angle up to 15°...
Page 18
WARNING! The structure where the R27LS rail will be installed from 0° to 15° must have structural charac- teristics so as to support at least the maximum loads of 15 KN in the parallel and perpendicular direction, that could be transmitted in service from the anchor device to the structure. This value has...
Page 19
15° 15° 0° The R27LS rail installed from 0° to 5° with respect to the horizontal plane can be mounted in any position: floor, 90° wall, ceiling and intermediate angles. The installation of the rail for the INCAR-360 trolley is only allowed on the floor, wall or staircase respecting the angles indicated in the table.
Page 20
NOTE! To optimize the sliding of the R27 and INCAR1-CURVE, INCAR1-CURVE (BLACK) trolleys on the track, it is recommended to position the track so that the load has the direction perpendicular to the sliding plane of the trolley on the rail. Sliding plane In order to better install the rail in the recommended position (with the suspension force perpendicular to the sliding plane), you can choose between different types of brackets, compliant with the different fastening...

The following table shows the theoretical deflection arrow as a function of the static load and of the distance between the anchoring brackets in case of installation from 0° to 5°. Distance between the brackets = distance between the centerline of two adjacent brackets HORIZONTAL...
Page 22
USE OF ACCESSORIES Turntables Turntables permits to modify the trolley direction without disconnecting from the system. To do this operation, it is necessary to insert the trolley in the turntable and rotate the turntable in the direction selected. In case of the use of two trolleys for the human suspension application, use two trolleys not rigidly connected.
Page 23
Connectors INMID-ENTRY The connectors INMID-ENTRY1.LS and INMID-ENTRY3.LS allow the insertion of the trolley along the line. To carry out this operation, it is necessary to unlock the opening by removing the safety pin by pressing its button, the rail will rise pushed by a spring, insert the trolley and pressing it with the rail, reinsert the safety pin in its housing.
Page 24
End fittings IN1642.CLEAR, INSTOP-OPEN.LS The removable end fitting IN1642.CLEAR, INSTOP-OPEN.LS allow the insertion of the trolley on the rail. To insert a trolley on a rail with the IN1642.CLEAR end fitting, lift the locking pin and remove the end fitting from the rail;...
