Description

The FallTech® Contractor Cable SRL is a self-retracting device for those working at height and subject to fall hazards.
As shown in Figure 1 below, the SRD has The SRD consists of a self-closing, self-locking housing end carabiner fitted to an attachment eye on a
nylon housing with an external webbing and rubber handle. The housing contains a lifeline composed of various lengths of galvanized wire rope,
wound onto a spring-tensioned drum.
The SRD is equipped with a spring and rubber ball dampener to limit freewheel impacts, with a swaged eye and a swiveling, impact-indicating
snaphook. When the user is attached, the lifeline extends and retracts with user movement, automatically maintaining a taut lifeline. If a fall
occurs, a centrifugal pawl system engages, locks, and applies a brake, slowing and arresting the fall.
NOTE: Freewheel refers to the uncontrolled retraction of the cable into the housing. Always maintain tension on the cable, with a tag line if
necessary, and do not allow the SRD to retract the cable in an uncontrolled manner, as this could damage the unit.
See Table 1A in Appendix A for product and materials specifications.

2.1 Canadian Standards Organization (CSA): The Contractor SRL described in this manual, when used per the instruction in this manual
meets or exceeds CSA Z259.2.2-2017. CSA requires that all SRDs be classified according to their respective type, and are classified either
as; Class SRL, Class SRL-R, Class SRL-LE, or Class SRL-LE-R. The Contractor Cable SRL in this manual is Class SRL.
CSA Test Parameters used in this manual are:
• Arrest Distance (AD)
• Average Arrest Force (AAF)
• Maximum Peak Arrest Force (MPAF)
The Arrest Distance is the total vertical distance required to arrest a fall. The Arrest Distance includes the deceleration distance and the
activation distance. The Average Arrest Force is the average of the forces applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall protection
system. The Maximum Peak Arrest Force is the maximum amount of force that may be applied to the body and the anchorage by the fall
protection system. In addition to the above tests conducted in ambient conditions, the units must be retested for average and peak forces
under certain environmental conditions, where the units are cooled, then tested, and saturated in water and tested again. Separate units
are used for each test. All test results are recorded.
This test data is then used to establish the basis for fall clearance guidelines published in the user instruction manual.
