PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:Figure 1 illustrates typical 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) systems. The Permanent Horizontal Lifeline can be Wall Mounted (Figure 1-1), Floor/Post Mounted (Figure 1-2), or Overhead (OH) Mounted (Figure 1-3) for Fall Restraint or Fall Arrest applications: Fall Restraint systems (Figure 2-1) prevent the user from reaching fall hazards (roof edges, etc.). Fall Arrest systems (Figure 2-2) allow access to fall hazards but safely arrest fall forces and minimize injury in the event of a fall.

Components of the 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline are identifi ed in Figure 1 and specifi ed in Table 1. The 8mm Permanent Horizontal Lifeline is a tensioned 8mm stainless steel Cable Lifeline (A) terminated between End Anchor Brackets (B) and Connectors (C). One or both ends of the Lifeline are also terminated with an Energy Absorber (D) that indicates system tension for installation and inspection, limits forces on the system, and absorbs energy in a fall arrest. Intermediate Brackets (E) and Corner Brackets (F) allow for longer and multi-directional cable spans while reducing fall clearance requirements. Travelers (G) attach around the Lifeline and provide moving anchorage connection points for the user’s Personal Fall Arrest or Personal Fall Restraint system.

1.4 TRAINING: This equipment must be installed and used by persons trained in its correct application. It is the responsibility of the users and installers of this equipment to ensure they are familiar with these instructions, trained in the correct care and use of this equipment, and are aware of the operating characteristics, application limitations, and consequences of improper use of this equipment.

1.5 LIMITATIONS: Always consider the following limitations when designing and installing the Engineered System:

• Anchorage: Structure on which the Engineered System is mounted must meet the Anchorage specifi cations defi ned in Table 1 and the 3M™ DBI-SALA® Installed Systems Calculation Software.

• Fall Path and SRL Locking Speed: A clear path is required to assure positive locking of an SRL. Situations which do not allow for an unobstructed fall path should be avoided. Working in confined or cramped spaces may not allow the body to reach sufficient speed to cause the SRL to lock if a fall occurs. Working on slowly shifting material, such as sand or grain, may not allow enough speed buildup to cause the SRL to lock.

• Hazards: Use of this equipment in areas with environmental hazards may require additional precautions to prevent injury to the user or damage to the equipment. Hazards may include, but are not limited to: heat, chemicals, corrosive environments, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, excessive vibration, moving machinery, sharp edges, or overhead materials that may fall and contact the user or Personal Fall Arrest System.

• Fall Clearance: There must be suffi cient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or other obstruction. Fall Clearance is infl uenced by the following factors:

• Deceleration Distance • Worker Height • Elevation of Anchorage Connector• Free Fall Distance • Movement of Harness Attachment Element • Connecting Subsystem Length

Check the Certifi ed Installer’s Post-Installation Documentation for specifi cs regarding system design and fall clearance calculation. Changes in system location, equipment placement, etc. require review and revision of original clearance calculations. Contact the Certifi ed Installer or 3M Fall Protection for assistance.

• Swing Falls: Swing Falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where the fall occurs (see Figure 3). The force of striking an object while swinging from the pendulum eff ects of a Swing Fall can cause serious injury (Figure 3-1). Swing Falls can be minimized by limiting the horizontal distance between the user and the anchorage point (H). In a Swing Fall, the total vertical fall distance will be greater than if the user had fallen directly below the anchorage point, thus increasing Fall Clearance required to safely arrest the user’s fall (Figure 3-2). See the PFAS manufacturer’s instructions for details regarding Swing Falls and Fall Clearance calculation.

• Sharp Edges: The Engineered System must be installed so defl ection of the anchor line in a fall arrest does not bring the anchor line into contact with a sharp edge or any other article that may damage the anchor line. Avoid working where Lifeline or Lanyard components of the attached Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) can contact or abrade against unprotected sharp edges (see Figure 4). Where contact with a sharp edge is unavoidable, cover the edge with protective material (A).

2.0 SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS

2.1 RESCUE PLAN: When using the Engineered System and connecting subsystem(s), the employer must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement and communicate that plan to users, authorized persons3, and rescuers4. A trained, on-site rescue team is recommended. Team members should be provided with the equipment and techniques to perform a successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuer profi ciency.

The Rescue Plan may be provided by the Certifi ed Installer. In which case, the Rescue Plan will be include in the System Documentation provided on completion of installation.

2.2 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The Engineered System must be inspected by the 3M certified Installer after installation and by the User before each use5. Inspection procedures are described in the “Inspection and Maintenance Log” included in this Installation Manual and the User Manual. Additionally a Periodic Examination must be performed by a 3M Certified Installer at intervals of no more than one year. See the “Certified Installer Inspection Schedule” for guidelines. Results of each Certified Installer Inspection should be recorded on copies of the Inspection and Maintenance Log.

Extreme Conditions: Harsh environments, corrosive atmosphere, thermal changes, excessive vibration, prolonged use, etc.) will require more frequent inspections by the Certifi ed Installer. See the “Certifi ed Installer Inspection Schedule” for guidelines. Where the Certifi ed Installer determines that extreme conditions require increased frequency of Periodic Examinations, that requirement will be stated in the System Documentation and System Certifi cate provided by the Certifi ed Installer.

2.3 AFTER A FALL: If the Engineered System is subjected to the forces of arresting a fall, it must be removed from the fi eld of service immediately and replaced or recommissioned by a Certifi ed Installer.

2.4 PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) used with the Engineered System must meet applicable Fall Protection standards, codes, and requirements. The PFAS shall incorporate a Full Body Harness and limit Maximum Arresting Force (MAF) to the following values:

MAF for CE Systems MAF for OSHA SystemsPFAS with Shock Absorbing Lanyard 6 kN (1,350 lb) 8 kN (1,800 lb) PFAS with Self Retracting Device 6 kN (1,350 lb) 8 kN (1,800 lb)

2.5 COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY: 3M FALL Protection equipment is designed for use with 3M approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may eff ect the safety and reliability of the complete system.

2.6 CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY: Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact 3M if you have any questions about compatibility.

Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 22.2 kN (5,000 lb). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (see Figure 5). Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. If the connecting element to which a snap hook or carabiner attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a situation could occur where the connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner (A). This force may cause the gate to open (B), allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point (C). Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required.

2.7 MAKING CONNECTIONS: Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be self-locking. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.3M connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specifi ed in each product’s user’s instructions. See Figure 6 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:A. To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.

Large throat snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook is equipped with a 16 kN (3,600 lb) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your application.

C. In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the anchor, and without visual confi rmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.

D. To each other.E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the manufacturer’s instructions for both the lanyard and

connector specifi cally allows such a connection).F. To any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that

roll-out could occur.G. In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
