to a maximum impact force of 6 kN. After a fall, the HSG must be
withdrawn from use and checked by a competent person. If the test
result is negative, the HSG must be taken out of service immediately
and disposed of!
HSGs must not be used over bulk material or similar materials in
which it is possible to sink. The required blocking speed will not be
reached in such a case and the sinking cannot be stopped. (Fig.
5.14)
An HSG can be attached on the attachment side (1) by means of
karabiner EN 362 or by means of karabiner EN 362 and lanyard
EN 354, with a minimum breaking load of 22kN, to a suitable
attachment point (min. 12kN). The housings (fig. 1, item 2) must not
rest on edges. The extendable lanyard (fig. 1, item 3) made of steel
rope/ webbing must not be obstructed in the direction of movement
and should under no circumstances be guided over edges or
deflections in order to avoid slack rope formation (5.10).
Caution: To extend the anchor point, never use damping or other
components designed for deformation that have not been tested
together with the HSG. This could disable the blocking function of the
device!
