Q: What is the main difference between models 83208SP0, 83208SP1, and 83208SP3?
A: All three share the same 8 ft CTX cable Class 2 leading edge SRL-P design and performance, but they differ in the leg-end connector: 83208SP0 has a steel mini rebar hook, 83208SP1 has a steel snap hook, and 83208SP3 has a steel rebar hook.
Q: In what applications are these CTX cable SRL-P units intended to be used?
A: They are intended for personal fall arrest in environments with leading edge exposure, including work on steel or precast concrete, and are suitable for below D-ring tie-off up to five feet when installed according to the instructions and clearance charts.
Q: What kind of inspection should be performed before using one of these SRLs?
A: Before use, the housing, cable, energy absorber cover, connectors, and labels should be inspected for damage, deformation, corrosion, cuts, kinks, illegible markings, or signs of deployment, and the device should be function-tested to ensure smooth cable retraction and proper lockup.
Q: How do the arrest force and arrest distance specifications affect clearance planning?
A: The specified average arrest force of 1,350 lb max, maximum arrest force of 1,800 lb, and maximum arrest distance of 42 inches are used together with worker weight, harness stretch, and D-ring height in the fall clearance tables supplied in the energy absorber cover to determine the minimum required clearance for a given installation.
