5.3 Attaching to an Anchorage
Examine the work area for possible hazards. Take caution to avoid overhead hazards such as cranes,
poles, overhead power cables, and walking/working surface hazards such as power cables, welding
leads, air and fluid hoses, including obstruction hazards such as vertical columns and stacks of
materials on the lower level. Eliminate hazards where possible.
Ensure the anchorage provides the Minimum Required Fall Clearance (MRFC) in the fall path below the
walking/working surface to prevent striking the lower level or an obstruction during a fall event. Take
action to avoid swing falls, which occur when the anchorage is not directly above the point where the
fall occurs.
Fall clearance and swing falls are subject to variable conditions. Anchor height, lateral movement, and
setback distance all affect anchor location with regard to fall clearance and swing falls.
The SRL may be attached to an overhead anchor, i.e., above the user's FBH dorsal D-ring, or a non-
overhead anchor, i.e., below the user's FBH dorsal D-ring. A non-overhead anchor may be a maximum
of 5' (1.5 m) below the user's FBH dorsal D-ring for a worker weighing 130 to 420 lbs (59 to 191 kg).
Non-overhead anchor locations result in greater possibility of edge hazards. At no point during a fall
shall the lifeline be loaded over any edge. Use of a below D-ring anchorages should be as a last resort,
when no other anchor option exists. When anchored below the FBH back D-ring, fall events will result
in greater fall clearances.
5.4 Using the Arc Flash Mini Pro SRL-P
Before each use, inspect the Arc Flash Mini Pro in accordance with Section 7. Remove the device from
service if the inspection shows damage or any malfunction.
Don the FBH and/or attach the SRL in accordance with the harness manufacturer's instructions.
Follow the instructions contained in this manual and on the labels. Failure to follow instructions may
result in serious injury or death.
Connect the leg-end connector to an approved anchorage point or to the full body harness depending
on orientation. Ensure the connector closes and locks. Ensure all connections are compatible. Normal
operation will allow the working length of the lifeline to extend and retract as the worker moves about.
Avoid sudden or quick movements during the normal work operation, as this may cause the SRL pawl
system to engage and possibly cause loss of balance, which may cause injury or death. If a fall occurs,
the pawl system will engage and lock the lifeline. The EA will deploy to arrest the fall and limit arrest
forces on the user.
