Protekt AZ 300 Instruction Manual

The EN 361 full body harness is the one and only device allowed to be used secure users' body in personal fall from height protection equipment.
!
The fall from height protection equipment can be attached to connecting points (loops, clamps) of the full body harness designated with a capital letter "A".
!
The construction of anchoring points (devices) for the protection systems against fall from height has to be solid and stable and it needs to be positioned in a
!
way that limits the possibility of fall and minimizes the free fall distance. The anchoring point should be situated above user's work place. Shape and
construction of the anchoring point must ensure reliable connection of the fall protection equipment and must prevent its accidental disconnection. The
minimum value of static strength of the anchoring point for the personal protective equipment against fall from heights equals to 12 kN. The use of certified
and appropriately designated anchoring points conforming to EN 795 standard is highly recommended.
One is obliged to check the free space situated below the work place where the personal fall protection equipment is being used, in order to avoid the risk of
!
hitting other objects or platforms situated below while fall arresting. The required value of free space should be verified against data in user manual of the
protection system that is going to be used.
there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding safety precautions that have to be observed during
!
equipment utilization, especially:
- trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges,
- any defects like cutting, abrasion, corrosion,
- climatic exposure,
- pendulum falls,
- extremes of temperature,
- chemical reagents,
- electrical conductivity.
The personal protective equipment has to be transported in packages securing it from any damages or getting wet, for example in bags made of
!
impregnated fabrics, in steel or plastic casings or cases.
The personal protective equipment is to be cleaned and disinfected in a way that prevents the materials it is made of (raw material) from getting damaged.
!
The textile materials (ropes, webbing) are to be cleaned with agents dedicated to delicate fabrics. They can be either hand washed, or using washing
machines. They require thorough rinsing. Elements made of plastics are to be cleaned with water only. Pieces of equipment that get wet during work need to
be dried in natural conditions – away from any heat sources. Metal components and parts (springs, hinges, clamps, etc.) should be greased from time to
time in order to enhance their functioning.
The personal protective equipment should be stored loosely packed, in a properly vented and dry place, protected against direct sunlight, UV radiation,
!
dust, other sharp objects, extreme temperatures and caustic substances.
The company using the equipment is held responsible for the consistency and completeness of the date in the equipment identity card. The equipment identity
card has to be filled in before its first use. All the information concerning the safety devices (name, serial number, data of purchase and first use, user's name,
repairs and periodic inspections related information, as well as withdrawal from operation) have to be included in equipment identity card issued with a device. It is
being filled in by a person responsible for personal protective equipment in the company. Any personal protective equipment without issued and complete
equipment identity card cannot be used.

EN 795:2012 type B
Ref. AZ 300
The AZ 300 scaffold clamp is a component of personal protective equipment against falls from a height that conforms to EN 795:2012
standard for anchoring devices type B.
The AZ 300 scaffold clamp can be used to connect the fall arresting devices (e.g. energy absorber with safety lanyard, retractable fall
arrester, working line of the guided type fall arresters) to the horizontal pipe scaffold of construction, set up according to the Directive
2001/45/WE.
The device has been designed for one person only.
BASIC EQUIPMENT
