applications for
retracting lifeline model.
Select self-retracting lifelines/fall limiters
may be used with Honeywell-approved
horizontal lifeline systems. Always refer
to the instructions provided with the
horizontal lifeline system to determine if
your self-retracting lifeline model can be
used with the system.
The device should be installed and used in
such a manner as to minimize the potential
for a swing fall.
Do not allow lifeline to become slack.
Do not tie knots in lanyards or lifelines,
or wrap around sharp, rough edges, or
small diameter structural members. Do
not attach multiple connecting devices
together, or attach a lanyard/lifeline back
onto itself unless it is specifically designed
for that purpose.
Free Fall
Personal fall arrest systems must be rigged
to limit a free fall to the shortest possible
distance [6ft (1.8m) maximum].

For general fall protection, connect the
lifeline/lanyard end connector (i.e., snap
hook or carabiner) to the back D-ring on the
full-body harness (see Fig. 1a).
Connect the body of the retractable unit
to the anchorage or anchorage connector
(see Fig. 1b). Make sure connections are
compatible in regards to size, strength,
and shape. Make sure that connectors are
completely closed and locked. Make sure
that connectors are positioned so that their
gates are never load bearing.
Never attach a rebar (pelican) hook to a
harness D-ring.

where the lifeline/lanyard end connector
(i.e., snap hook, carabiner or rebar hook)
is connected to a compatible anchorage
or anchorage connector and the body of
the retractable unit is attached to the back
D-ring on the full-body harness (see Fig. 2a
& 2b).
Note: The weight of the retractable unit
should be considered when choosing this
reverse configuration for connecting to the
body support and anchorage.
