Page 3: Warnings And Important Information
• Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. • Consult FallTech when using this equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual. • Do not connect rebar hooks, large carabiners, or large snap hooks to the FBH dorsal D-rings as this may cause a roll-out condition and/or unintentional disengagement. - Page 4 If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system engages, a centrifugal pawl system locks and applies a brake, slowing and arresting the fall. See Table 1A in Appendix A for product and materials specifications. Figure 1 - About FallTech DuraTech Cable SRL ®...

Page 5: Application
3.0 Application 3.1 Purpose: The FallTech DuraTech Cable SRL is designed to be used as a component in a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS), to provide a combination of worker mobility and fall protection as required for inspection work, general construction, maintenance work, oil production, confined space work, etc. - Page 6 Figure 2: Incorrect Connections Never connect two active components (snap hooks or carabiners) to each other. Never connect two active components (snap hooks or carabiners) to a single D-ring at the same time. Never connect in a way that would produce a condition of loading on the gate. Never attach to a object in a manner whereby the gate (of the snap hook or carabiner) would be prevented from fully closing and locking.

Section 2.1) for FallTech self-retracting devices, listed by model number and class. In certain situations, the Qualified Person can determine that a given structure is a suitable anchor point based on a tested arrest distance and tested maximum arrest force, with a safety factor of two. - Page 8 5.2 Calculating SRL Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC) 5.2.1 DuraTech in Overhead, Non-Leading Edge Anchorage Application The DuraTech may be used may be used as a standard SRD in an overhead condition, in which the SRD is installed anywhere in the allowable attachment area, which ranges from directly above the user to level with the FBH D-ring, as shown in Figure 4.

“UNUSABLE”, store separately, and contact FallTech at 323-752-0066 to receive a Return Authorization number or to locate the nearest FallTech Service Center. The SRD is not user repairable. Only the manufacturer, or a repair facility authorized in writing, may make repairs to the SRD. -
Page 12: Inspection
Table 1 - Guidelines for Cable SRD Inspection Inspection Procedure Pass Fail The cable lifeline should extract and retract completely and without faltering and should remain taut under tension without sagging. Extract the cable lifeline several inches and apply a firm pull to confirm the SRD locks. The locking should be certain and without skidding. - Page 13 7.2 Inspection Frequency: Inspection by a competent person at regular intervals is required. The competent person will use the information in Table 2: SRD Inspection Recommendations, to determine the inspection frequency. Use Table 2 to determine the inspection frequency. Inspection by a factory authorized inspection entity at regular intervals is also required.

Page 16: Definitions
9.0 Definitions The following are general definitions of fall protection terms as defined by ANSI Z359.0-2012. Anchorage: A secure connecting point or a terminating component of a fall protection system or rescue system capable of safely supporting the impact forces applied by a fall protection system or anchorage subsys- tem. - Page 17 Deceleration Distance: The vertical distance between the user’s fall arrest attachment at the onset of fall arrest forces during a fall, and after the fall arrest attachment comes to a complete stop. Energy (Shock) Absorber: A component whose primary function is to dissipate energy and limit deceleration forces which the system imposes on the body during fall arrest.
- Page 18 person to whom the line is attached. After onset of a fall, the device automatically locks the drum and arrests the fall. Self-retracting devices include self-retracting lanyards (SRLs), self-retracting lanyards with integral rescue capability (SRL-Rs), and self-retracting lanyards with leading edge capability (SRL-LEs) and, hybrid combinations of these.
