Application

3.1 Purpose: The FallTech® 6' DuraTech Mini SRD is designed for use as a component in a 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,
or any application where fall protection and worker mobility is required. The DuraTech SRD is intended for Personal Fall Arrest applications
only. The SRD is not designed nor suited for use in restraint, personnel riding, suspension, work positioning, or rescue applications. DO
NOT use the SRD for these applications except as a back-up PFAS.
3.2 Personal Fall Arrest System: A PFAS is typically composed of an anchorage and a FBH, with an energy absorbing connecting device,
i.e., a EAL, a SRD, or a Fall Arrester Connecting Subsystem (FACSS), attached to the dorsal D-ring of properly fitted and adjusted FBH. All
uses and applications of a FBH with this equipment requires the FBH to be properly fitted and adjusted to the user. Failure to properly
fit the FBH to the user could result in serious injury or death. The SRD may be installed on a FBH, or attached to a suitable anchorage. See
Section 4 for additional details.
3.3 SRD Orientation in Fall Arrest: The 6' DuraTech Mini SRD is a versatile design, capable of multiple attachment orientation options,
either as a single-leg unit, or as a twin-leg unit.
3.3.1 Single SRD: One SRD with two orientation options;
As a single-leg SRD with the housing end attached to the dorsal D-ring of a FBH and the leg-end connected to an anchorage, see Figure 2.
The anchorage may be anywhere in the allowable anchorage range, from overhead (directly overhead to the level of the D-ring) to
non-overhead (down to the level of the Dorsal D-ring for a 141 kg (310 lb)) user.
As a single-leg SRD with the housing end attached to an anchorage and the leg end connected to the FBH dorsal D-ring, see Figure 3. The
anchorage may be anywhere in the allowable anchorage range, from overhead (directly overhead to the level of the D-ring) to
non-overhead, the level of the D-ring.

3.3.2 Twin-Leg SRD:
A twin-leg SRD is utilized with the housing ends worn on the FBH as shown in Figure 4. The leg ends are connected, one at a time for 100%
tie-off, to an anchorage within the correct orientation range.
