Product Specific Applications

! WARNING
Personal Fall Arrest: Diablo Cable SRLs may be used in Personal Fall Arrest applications as a
component of a MAXIMUM 1 Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). Structure must withstand loads
applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted.
SRL must always be positioned at or above harness dorsal D-ring AND at or below anchor point.
Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: Diablo Cable SRL may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment): 130-310 lbs.

Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be
sufficient clearance below the
anchorage connector to arrest
a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When
calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 3' safety
factor, deceleration distance, user
height, length of lanyard/SRL,
harness stretch, and all other
applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example
fall clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation
or use, make considerations for
eliminating or minimizing all
swing fall hazards. Swing falls
occur when the anchor is not
directly above the location where
a fall occurs. Always work as close
to in line with the anchor point as
possible. Swing falls significantly
increase the likelihood of serious
injury or death in the event of a fall.
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
For all applications, worker weight capacity range
*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever possible!
If Swing Fall exists, always account
for additional fall clearance.
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing
worker falling directly in-line with anchor point.
Always consider potential swing fall and other
hazards when calculating fall clearance.
