Prevailing accident prevention regulations and safety guidelines must be followed.
operating instructions of the respective companies and the instructions for use/user information
provided by the relevant manufacturer must be followed.
The Söll Xenon anchor device should only be used for the intended purpose, e.g. not as a transport
anchor or for lifting of loads.
For user's safety, resellers have an obligation to provide the manual in the user's local language.
Bochum, CE 0158.
1.3 Limitations, capabilities and performance
a) Limitations and capabilities
Danger!
Failure to comply with these provisions will expose the user to risks of fall from height!
The Söll Xenon anchor device can be used to secure:
max. 4 persons by using the 7x7, Ø8 mm stainless steel cable
max. 7 persons by using the 1x19, Ø8 mm stainless steel cable
max. 4 persons in overhead systems when using self retracting lifelines (SRL)
The distance between two intermediate brackets must not exceed 15 m for 7x7, Ø8 mm cable and
20 m for 1x19, Ø8 mm cable.
When self-retractable lifelines are used in a Söll XENON anchor system the maximum span length is
limited to 15 m and the weight of each self-retractable lifeline must not exceed 12 kg.
to be used in adventure/activity parks.
b) Performance
The maximum cable tension in case of a fall depends on several factors, i.e., span length, number of
the energy absorbers, number of users and the fall factor respective the free fall height.
The cable tension determines the forces which are passed to the end anchors and curve parts.
For each Xenon system, the expected forces must be calculated and proven to be admissible. The
Söll XENON anchor device has been designed so that:
the maximum force affecting the intermediate bracket has to be engineered with 6 kN for a single
user.
