2. Preliminary instructions
2.1. Instructions for resale
If the equipment is resold out of the first destination country, the reseller will provide instructions for
maintenance, for periodic reviews and instructions on repairs, in the language of the country of use.
Installation of SecuRope
The anchor device Securope 2012 is a horizontal lifeline system with a maximal inclination of 15° or a
inclined life line with a inclination between 30° to 90°.
The installer must install the Securope lifeline so that the maximum angle at which the Securope
cable is allowed to penetrate or exit of the intermediate anchor does not exceed 15°.
The installer must install the Securope lifeline so that, when stopping a fall, the deflection of the cable
does not hit sharp edges or anything that could damage it.
Installer Manual

DOC023-UK-19.05.15
Minimum clearance
The height of fall must be less than the available clearance so that the person falling does not hit an
obstacle during the fall.
The height of fall is the sum of the terms given below:
- The length of the lanyard “Li”.
- The braking distance of the energy absorber “Le”.
- The deflection of the cable “d”.
- The distance between the harness anchor point and the end of the lower limbs i.e. 1,5
meters.
- A safety distance equal to 1,0 m.
The safety equation expressed in meters and calculated from cable axe is thus:
Ll + Le + d + 1,5 m + 1 m < clearance
Ll < 2 m
Le < 0,8 m
d : according to Fallprotec software
If the drop height is higher, Fallprotec advise mounting 30 mm crimping rings on both sides of each
intermediate anchor. The free length of cable can be reduced to 3 times the distance between two
successive anchors, see Fallprotec calculation software.

The lifeline Securope EVO is installed only on posts fixed on a concrete slab, the reason being that
this lifeline does not have energy absorber device on the intermediate anchors; it cannot therefore
be mounted on a fragile structure. On the other hand, the components will eventually suffer
permanent deformation during fall arrest requiring replacement.
The Securope EVO lifeline consists of the components shown in Fig. 3; it is set to the horizontal up to
an angle of 15°.
The lifeline consists in:
- An end anchor TEVO with an energy absorber LDV003.
- At regular intervals, the intermediate anchors EVO or TEVO.
- The curved sections
- The second end anchor TEVO with turnbuckle LDV137.
- The posts

If the lifeline is mounted on post with plate LDV096 / IDF003 or Multipost with plate LDV071, crimping
could be replaced by the cable guide tube LDV076, which allows tensioning the cable in a single
operation, for a relatively short line. The cable guide tube is an option left to the choice of the
installer.

Line tensioner
To tighten the line (after a fall, or during installation), or if an obstacle does not allow mounting the
crimping ring LDV008, we use the line
tensioner installed after the end anchor.
WARNING !
A hole is drilled in the two female parts in order to ensure that the threaded rod is sufficiently engaged in the female
rings.
During tensioning, hold in hand the 2 female rings, to prevent them from turning.

6.13. Switch
Description
Fallprotec designed a switching system specifically for Securope lifeline. There can be four branches
(crossing two lifelines) or 3 branches (intersection of three lines).The switch, in stainless steel, is made
with a base plate on which are installed four fixed anchors LDV106.
A rotating anchor is fixed to the center. It allows 360° rotation of the glider. A safety disc prevents the
glider to escape unintentionally from the line during rotation. For the crimping of the 4 cables see
below.
DOC023-UK-19.05.15
6.14. Gliders
Glider LDV001
The glider LDV001 is installed on the cable by opening the latch; when installed on the cable, we
pass the connector through the eyelet, the glider is locked and cannot be removed unintentionally
from the cable. The Glider LDV001 is used on ground or wall configuration.
DOC023-UK-19.05.15
Glider LDV111
The glider LDV111 has a similar shape as the LDV001, the only difference is that it is permanently
installed on the cable. The LDV111 is used on ground or wall configuration.
Glider LDV060
The glider LDV060 is permanently installed on the cable. It is used on ceiling configuration when the
walkway is at a distance of 4 m or less from the line.
DOC023-UK-19.05.15
Glider LDV133
The LDV133 glider is used in ceiling configuration when the walkway is 7m or less from the lifeline
and a retractable fall arrest (max 2kg) is used to connect the glider to the user, see Fig. 7 and Fig.
9. To move the trolley with the retractable fall arrester, it is recommended to attach a rope to the
carabiner and to train the trolley and fall arrest assembly. If the lanyard is used to pull the trolley, it will
be behind the user; this can cause a dangerous pendulum fall for the user.
Glider LDV075
The glider LDV075 is used on sloped section between 30° to 90°. The glider is engaged on the line
at the bottom end and it can go through the anchor LDV106. In case of a fall it automatically locked
on the cable.

- Tensioning section “C”. The tensioning tool is fitted on the intermediate anchor « C - D », to tighten
and crimp the cable on the anchor LDV043
- If the straight section after the curve makes more than 12 m, it is necessary to crimp both sides of
the anchor LDV043 following the curve between « E » and « F » ; in order to avoid putting too much
tension on the anchors placed on the curve.
- Tensioning section « F ». The tensioning tool is fitted on the end anchor, to put the cable in tension
with a maximal force of 1,0 kN and to crimp the 100 mm ring.
- If the section « E-F » makes more than 50 m it is necessary to crimp both sides of LDV043 every 50
m.
CAUTION
When tensioning a straight section, shake the cable with the hand so making it slide through the intermediate anchors. Oil
on the cable improve also the cable sliding
