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.

2.2. Skill of the installer


The anchor device must be installed by competent persons or organizations that will have a
certificate of “approved installer” issued by Fallprotec.
The installation must be properly verified by calculation or testing.

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 user must be able to access and exit safely.

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
Securope lifeline Horizontal and Inclined

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.

Fig. 1. Minimum clearance.

DOC023-UK-19.05.15

3. Structure on which the SecuRope is


installed
A competent person will check the strength of the structure in relationship with forces transmitted by
the end and intermediate anchors when a fall is stopped. Fallprotec makes software available,
approved by the notify body, which works out the forces in accordance with the site configuration
and the number of users.
The components of the Securope line withstand without permanent deformation the forces indicated
to table below and present a safety coefficient of two. The forces calculated by the software must be
lower than the allowable forces. If you note a force beyond the allowable force, it will be necessary to
change one or more parameters of calculation, either to decrease the number of users or to
decrease the distance between two anchors.

4.2. SecuRope EVO lifeline

Fig. 3 Securope EVO

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

6. Components of the SecuRope lifelines


Components of Securope lifelines are made of stainless steel AISI316 and for crimping rings AISI304
stainless steel.

6.1. Intermediate anchor LDV004


The intermediate anchor LDV004 is characterized by a high energy absorption when a fall is stopped
and the intermediate anchor does not suffer any permanent deformation.
The anchors are installed with an interval of 12 m or less. If an interval of more than 12 m should be
considered, it is recommended to seek the advice of Fallprotec.
Anchors are attached directly to the host structure or on a fixing interface described in the installer
manual, specific for each type of roof.
The anchor LDV004 is made of a cable guide tights on two arches with 2 friction pads and 4 allen
screws M6x10, tightened with a torque of 3 Nm.
If a force of 4 kN is applied on the cable guide, it rotates to the base of the anchor to reduce the
moment which is applied on the host structure.

6.10. Energy absorber LDV032


The end anchor is equipped with an energy absorber which reduces the force transmitted to the host
structure in case of a fall. An absorber must always be installed when the line length is less than 20 m
or when the line is fixed on a fragile structure (cold deck, hot deck, composite panels). The spring
prevents overloading the anchors in case of large temperature variation. The spring must be
compressed to 40 mm on mounting.

Six different type of rings are used to crimp the cable.

Crimping ring on end anchor


On the end anchor two types of ring are used:
- Crimping ring LDV008 (Fig. 34)
- Crimping ring LDV009 (Fig. 35)

Must make 6 crimps, on the ring, spread over a length of 100 mm.
It is imperative to use a crimping tool supplied by Fallprotec to ensure a proper crimp, capable of
withstanding a force of 37kN.

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.

Fig. 35 Line tensioner LDV137

Crimping ring – turnbuckle line


If the lifeline forms a closed loop, a turnbuckle LDV138 with two inverted threaded ends will be used,
to tighten both ends of the line.

Fig. 36 LDV138 turnbuckle

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.

Crimping ring junction


For long life line it is advisable to supply the wire rope by length of 100 m and to connect two ends of
the cable by using crimping ring junction. Twelve crimps are required on the junction ring.

Fig. 37 LDV010 Junction ring

WARNING !
Make sure the two ends of the cable do well 2 x 100 mm, use a tape to identify two lengths of 100 mm.

Crimping rings for curved section

Checking the crimping


The Securope used as crimping assembly means, the safety of people is at risk if the crimp is poorly
done.
There are 6 models of crimp rings of 2 different manufacturing processes by machining and by
extrusion. A crimping mark is considered good if it is well marked and within the tolerances shown in
the table below.
Items Manufacturing Tolerances

LDV011, LDV048

11.0mm
LDV008 Extrusion 11.8mm

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.

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.

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.

Fig. 42 Glider LDV111

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.

Fig. 44 Trolley LDV133

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.

8. Installation of the cable


Two cable constructions are available:
- Single strand 1x19 dia. 8 mm, this cable is designed for marine application, the strength is
higher and visual appearance is better
- Multi strands 7x7 dia. 8 mm, this is standard cable for life line application.

8.1. Placement of the cable


The cable is supplied from the factory, pre-cut to the required length plus 1 meter.
One end is to be fitted with the energy absorber and a 100 mm crimping ring. see Fig. 31.
Introduce the cable through the intermediate anchors until the second end anchor.
It is recommended to use the crimping ring with threaded tip LDV009 for fixing the cable to the
second end anchor, in order to retension the cable.

8.2. Tensioning the cable

Fig. 46 SECUROPE lifeline on ground.

We treat an example Fig. 46

- Forming the curve “B” and crimping directly onto anchor LDV043 if LDV076 is not used.

- Tensioning section “A”. Place the tensioning tool onto end anchor, tension the cable and crimp the
100 mm ring.

- Tensioning section “C”. The tensioning tool is fitted on the intermediate anchor « C - D », to tighten
and crimp the cable on the anchor LDV043

- Forming curve « D ». Crimp the second 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

8.3. Tensioning tool


A tensioning tool, supplied by Fallprotec, is used to tension the cable.
A cable grab is fitted on the cable in contact with the tool plate. The cable pass through the hole of
the plate.
The cable is then tensioned with a ratchet handle. The tension is sufficient to keep the cable
stretched over the entire length of the line.
A spring controls the tension on the cable. A table shows this tension as function of the compression
of the spring, the tension is between 0.5 and 1.0 kN.

9. Recommendations relating to the


documentation required after installation
New requirements of EN795:2012
For the user, the documentation on the installation provides evidence that the installation was
performed correctly. In addition, it serves as an essential foundation for further examination of the
anchor, because, in many cases, fixing anchors are not visible or accessible.
After installation, the installer sends the user copies of the documentation for the installation. This
documentation must be kept in the building for subsequent reviews of the anchor.

Documentation on the installation must contain at least the following information:


- The address and location of the installation;
- The name and address of the company that carried out the installation;
- The name of the person responsible for the installation;
- The product identification (manufacturer of the anchor, type, model / item);
- The fixing device (manufacturer, product, and transverse tensile forces eligible);
- The schematic plan of the installation, for example the roof, and information relevant to the user,
such as the position of the anchor points (for example relevant in case of snow).

Should be marked on the schematic plan of the building so that it is visible or available to all (for
example, at the point of access to the roof).

The statements made by the responsible installer must be signed by him and attest that at
least the anchor:

- Has been installed in accordance with manufacturer's installation instructions;


- Is consistent with the plan;
- Was attached to the specified support;
- Has been set as specified (e.g. number of bolts, correct materials, position / location correct);
- Was put into service according to information supplied by the manufacturer;
- Came with photographic information / documentation, especially when the fasteners (eg bolts) and
the underlying support are no longer visible once installation is complete.

When several anchor points must be photographed for identification purposes, it is recommended to
mark the anchoring devices with numbers and incorporate this numbering in the inspection records
of the anchoring device and the ground plan in the installation area.

Fallprotec provides the installer with a model for the "Installer schematic plan"
