2.0 Description
The FallTech
(R)
FT-X
TM
Web SRL-P is a personal self-retracting device for those working at height and may be subject to fall hazards. This product is
not suitable for applications with leading edge exposures where the lifeline of this device may come in contact with an edge during a fall event.
This product is a personal SRL and may be used with the SRL housing side connected to the anchor or connected to the full body harness. Contact
FallTech for more information or product selection questions.
This manual includes one Appendix containing figures and tables specific to the FT-X Web SRL-P discussed in this manual.
The SRL discussed in this manual may be attached to an overhead anchorage, i.e., from directly over the user’s head, or to or around an anchorage
at a maximum of 5’ below the user’s FBH dorsal D-ring for a worker weight up to 310 lbs. or at a maximum of 3' below the user's FBH dorsal D-ring
for a worker weighing 311 to 420 lbs. Below D-ring tie-off is outside the scope of ANSI Z359 and is only allowed when no edge hazards are present.
At no point during a fall shall the lifeline be loaded over any edge.
As shown in Figure 1 below, the FT-X Web has a nylon housing that contains a synthetic lifeline wound onto a spring tensioned drum. The FT-X Web
lifeline is equipped with an energy absorber and a leg-end connector. When the user is attached, the lifeline extends and retracts with the user
movement, automatically maintaining taut lifeline. If a fall occurs, a centrifugal pawl system engages, stopping the lifeline payout. Then, the in-line
Energy Absorber (EA) will deploy, gradually slowing and arresting the fall.
See Table 1A in Appendix A for product, material, and performance specifications.
