Key features

• Rope lengths of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 m
• 12 mm flexible polyester anchor line
• Steel rope grab that travels along the working rope

• AZ002 connector for attachment to a safety harness
• Protection for one user
• Maximum user weight of 140 kg
• Compliant with EN 353-2:2002

Applications

The ProBelt 200 series is suitable for vertical work on construction sites, in industrial maintenance and in other work-at-height applications. The upper end of the rope is connected to a suitable anchorage point above the user. The guided rope grab travels with the user along the rope and locks in the event of a fall.

This is a fall arrest system, not a restraint system designed to prevent access to a fall hazard. The user manual permits a maximum deviation of 15 degrees from vertical. The product is not suitable as a horizontally installed roof safety line, and the rope must not contact or pass around sharp or cutting edges.

Safety and compliance

The ProBelt 200 is a CE-marked guided type fall arrester on a flexible anchor line compliant with EN 353-2:2002. It is intended for one user with a maximum weight of 140 kg. The rope grab is permanently attached to the working rope and must not be removed.

The rope grab connector must be attached to a fall arrest point marked with a capital letter A on an EN 361 full-body harness. The flexible anchor line is connected using an EN 362 connector or an EN 795 anchorage device. The structural anchorage point must have a minimum static strength of 12 kN.

The total length of the energy absorber and its connector must not exceed 44 cm. The basic minimum clearance below the user’s feet is 3.5 m. For rope lengths greater than 20 metres, this clearance must be increased by 5% of the selected rope length.
