PURPOSE:
The A570000, A570001 & A570002 are anchorage connectors designed to function as an interface between the anchorage and a fall protection, work positioning, rope access, or rescue system for the purpose of coupling the system to the anchorage. Any references to “anchorage connector” in this manual include, and apply to, A570000, A570001 & A570002.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

1. A user must be of sound mind and body to properly and safely use this equipment in normal and emergency situations.
2. Before using a personal fall arrest system, user must be trained in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.30 and 1926.503 in the safe use of the system and its components.
3. Use only with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems. The anchorage must have the strength capable of supporting a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of at least 5,000-lbf (22kN) in the absence of certification.
4. The user shall be equipped with a means of limiting the maximum dynamic forces exerted on the user during the arrest of a fall to a maximum of 1800-lbf (8 kN).
5. Use of this product must be approved by an engineer or other qualified person to be compatible with any and all structural & operational characteristics of the selected installation location and system to be connected to this anchorage connector.
6. The anchorage connector must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration. If defective components are found, the anchorage connector must be immediately removed from service in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.140 and 1926.502.
7. The anchorage connector should be positioned in such a way that minimizes the potential for falls and the potential fall distance during use. The complete fall arrest system must be planned (including all components, calculating fall clearance, and swing fall) before using.
8. A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place that provides the prompt rescue of users in the event of a fall, or assures that users are able to rescue themselves.
9. After a fall occurs, the anchorage connector must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.

USE LIMITATIONS: This anchorage connector has been tested in compliance with the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.7. Compliance testing covers only the hardware and does not extend to the anchorage and substrate to which the anchorage connector is attached. The anchorage connector must not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended. If this anchorage connector is used differently from these instructions, it must be designed, installed, and used under the supervision of an engineer according to ANSI Z359.6 and local building codes as applicable.

1. The anchorage connector is designed for single user.
2. The anchorage connector may only be loaded in acceptable directions shown under LOADING CONDITIONS DIAGRAM.
3. The anchorage connector is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -40°F to +130°F (-40°C to +54°C).
4. Do not expose the anchorage connector to chemicals or harsh solutions which may have a harmful effect.
5. Do not alter or modify this product in any way.
6. Caution must be taken when using any component of a fall arrest, work positioning, rope access, or rescue System near moving machinery, electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces, as contact may cause equipment failure, personal injury, or death.
7. Do not use/install equipment without proper training by a “competent person” as defined by OSHA 29 CFR 1926.32(f).
8. Do not remove the labeling from this product.
9. Additional requirements and limitations may apply depending on anchorage type and fastening option utilized for installation. All placements must be approved by an engineer or other qualified person.
10. This anchorage connector should not be used as part of a horizontal lifeline system that has not been designed and/or approved to be used with 5,000-lbf (22kN) anchorage connectors.
11. The anchorage connector should only be used for personal fall arrest and not for lifting equipment.
12. If attaching the anchorage connector to the support structure by methods other than instructed, the attachment must be certified by a qualified person to meet the requirements of the system that will connect to the anchorage connector.

COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS
Anchorage connectors must only be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snaphooks from being engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: it must be a locking type snaphook, and it must be “designed for” making such a connection. “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snaphook specifically designed the snaphook to be used to connect to the equipment listed. The following connections must be avoided, because they can result in rollout* when a nonlocking snaphook is used:

• Direct connection of a snaphook to horizontal lifeline.
• Two (or more) snaphooks connected to one D-ring.
• Two snaphooks connected to each other.
• A snaphook connected back on its integral lanyard.
• A snaphook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
• Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snaphook dimensions that would allow the snaphook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snaphook.
• *Rollout: A process by which a snaphook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to which it is coupled. (ANSI Z359.0-2007)

• Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS): 5,000-lbf (22kN)
• Weight: 1.2-lbs (544.3g)
• Materials: Stainless Steel
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.18-2017 Type A, ANSI Z359.7-2019, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.140
