2.0 General Fall Protection
Requirements
2.1 General Requirements
All warnings and instructions shall be provided
to authorized persons/users.
All authorized persons/users must
reference the regulations governing
occupational safety, as well as applicable
ANSI or CSA standards. Please refer
to product labeling for information on
specic OSHA regulations, and ANSI and
CSA standards met by product.
Proper precautions should always be taken to
remove any obstructions, debris, material, or
other recognized hazards from the work area
that could cause injuries or interfere with the
operation of the system.
Always check for obstructions below the work
area to make sure potential fall path is clear.
Allow adequate fall clearance below the work
surface.
To minimize the potential for accidental
disengagement, a competent person must
ensure system compatibility.
All equipment must be inspected before
each use according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Additionally, equipment must be
inspected by a competent person, other than
the user, on a regular basis, at least annually.
Any product exhibiting deformities, unusual
wear, or deterioration must be immediately
discarded in such a manner as to prevent
inadvertent further use.
Any equipment subject to a fall must be
removed from service.
The authorized person/user shall have
a rescue plan and the means at hand to
implement it when using this equipment.
Equipment must not be altered in any way.
Do not lubricate or attempt to repair this
device. Repairs must be performed only
by the manufacturer, or persons or entities
authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
Never use fall protection equipment for
purposes other than those for which it was
designed. Fall protection equipment should
never be used for towing or hoisting.
Environmental hazards should be considered
when selecting fall protection equipment.
Equipment must not be exposed to chemicals,
heat, ames, or other environmental conditions
which may produce a harmful effect. Use in
a corrosive or caustic environment dictates
a more frequent inspection and servicing
program to ensure the integrity of the device
is maintained.
All synthetic material must be protected from
slag, hot sparks, open ames, or other heat
sources. The use of heat resistant materials is
recommended in these applications.

2.2 Warnings and Limitations
Capacity
For use by ONE person only. Refer to the
product labels and to Product Identication
and Specications in this manual for the
minimum and maximum weight capacities.
Anchorage Requirements
Honeywell recommends that all anchorages
be:
• Capable of supporting 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN)
per worker attached; OR
• Designed, installed, and used, under the
supervision of a qualied person, as part of
a complete personal fall protection system
that maintains a safety factor of at least two.
Always refer to applicable national and
regional fall protection regulations and
standards to ensure compliance.
Limits of Use
Self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) are designed
for fall arrest applications only. Never use
an SRL as a restraint or positioning device.
IMPORTANT!
A fall restraint scenario could occur
anytime:
• the user fully extends the lifeline and
applies weight or stress to that lifeline;
• the user intentionally or unintentionally
locks up the lifeline, without the lifeline
fully extended, and applies weight or
stress to that lifeline.
The correct application for using an
SRL allows the user to be connected
and move freely to perform the required
work tasks without locking the lifeline
or applying tension on the lifeline at full
extension.
System Compatibility
Honeywell Miller fall protection products are
designed for use with Honeywell-approved
components only. Substitution or replacement
with non-approved component combinations or
subsystems or both may affect or interfere with
the safe function of each other and endanger
the compatibility within the system. This
incompatibility may affect the reliability and
safety of the total system.
WARNING
Always refer to the regulations and
standards regarding personal fall
arrest system component requirements
and the instructions provided with each
component being used as part of the
personal fall arrest system.
Falcon Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines
are approved for overhead and leading
edge applications. For the purposes of
this instruction manual, a leading edge
application is one whereby the user may
be anchored at foot level/working surface
or higher and the lifeline has the potential
to come in contact with an edge if the user
falls. It is recommended to anchor device
vertically overhead whenever possible. For
the purposes of this instruction manual,
an overhead application implies that there
is no slack in the lifeline when the unit is
mounted above the user and connected to
the user’s back D-ring.
5
Falcon Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines
may be used with Honeywell-approved
horizontal lifeline systems with special
considerations. The retractable must
be capable of traveling well along the
length of the lifeline and should remain
perpedicular to the worker throughout the
course of work. It is recommended that
an on-site qualied person evaluate the
conditions before installation and use of
the retractable with the horizontal lifeline
system. In addition, always refer to the
instructions provided with the horizontal
lifeline system to ensure compatibility of
the self-retracting lifeline with the system.
This device shall be installed and used in
such a manner as to minimize the potential
for a swing fall. User must never be
exposed to a swing fall hazard.
Do not allow lifeline to become slack.
3.0 Installation/Use
WARNING
All Honeywell Miller Self-Retracting
Lifelines must be inspected and tested
for locking and retraction before each
use (see 6.0 Inspection & Maintenance).
Special Requirements, Warnings &
Limitations pertaining to All Leading
Edge Applications
• The anchor point must be at the same
height or higher than the edge at which a
fall might occur.
• The allowable angle of redirection of
the lifeline portion of the device at the
edge over which a fall might occur (as
measured between the two sides formed
by the redirected lanyard) shall be at
least 90 degrees.
• The potential for a swing fall must
be minimized for worker and lifeline
protection. The worker must never work
on the far side of an opening, opposite
the anchor point.
• Falcon Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines are
specically designed to reduce forces to
both the worker and lifeline connection
that extends beyond a leading edge.
• Applications for leading edge retractables
include steel decking, concrete and
wood surfaces. Despite the wide range of
applications for these units, surfaces in
contact with the equipment must still be
evaluated by a qualied person in regards
to creating premature wear and/or failure
due to excessive abrasion or cutting of
materials.
The installer of the SRL must not be
exposed to a fall hazard while mounting
the unit.
IMPORTANT!
Overhead mounting of a self-retracting
lifeline is typically recommended.
However, Falcon Edge Self-Retracting
Lifelines have been specically designed
and successfully tested in accordance
with the standards for
falls over a sharp edge (radius ≥ .005 in
(.13mm)).

horizontal use and
Special Anchorage Requirements for
Leading Edge Applications
Honeywell Industrial Safety approves a
connection height at foot level/working surface
or higher for Falcon Edge Self-Retracting
Lifelines. Minimum set-back distance is
18 in. (0.5m). Lateral edge distance (work
zone) from perpendicular to the anchor
point is dependent on set-back distance of
anchor point (see DIAGRAMS A & B and Fall
Clearance Tables in APPENDIX B).
IMPORTANT!
A Falcon Edge unit anchored at a setback distance of 25 ft. (7.62m) with a
user working at the maximum permitted
lateral edge distance (work zone) of 25
ft. (7.62m) will experience the greatest
swing fall allowed for a Falcon leading
edge application. It is imperative that
swing fall be limited as much as possible.
This can be accomplished by increasing
the set-back distance and/or limiting the
work zone. A swing fall hazard must not
exist in the path of the potential swing
fall.

4.2 Calculating Fall
Clearance Required for
OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS
STOP!
This section only applies when using
a Falcon Edge Self-Retracting Lifeline
in an overhead application. For leading
edge applications, refer to Fall Clearance
Tables in APPENDIX B.
It is essential to understand how to
calculate the fall clearance distance
required for each work application to avoid
contact with a lower level.
The basic calculation shown below and the
related diagrams in Appendix C on page
28 may be used to determine Required
Fall Clearance when using a self-retracting
lifeline in an overhead application. For a
more automated approach to calculating
Required Fall Clearance, access the Miller
Fall Clearance Calculator online:
www.millerfallprotection.com/fallclearance.

CAUTION: Read all notes and refer to all
self-retracting lifeline fall clearance diagrams
and labels to determine exact required fall
clearance for your application.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Self-retracting lifelines must be anchored
overhead to ensure the accuracy of the fall
clearance calculation and related information.
It is important to understand that other factors,
such as whether the user is performing work
in a standing, crouched or lying down position
and/or whether the user is working directly
below the anchor point or at an angle, can affect
fall distance when using a retractable device.
The self-retracting lifeline fall clearance
calculation assumes the user is standing. If
the user will be performing work in a crouched
or kneeling position, an additional 3 ft. (0.9m)
of fall clearance is required (see Diagram 2).
If the user will be performing work in a lying
down position, an additional 5 ft. (1.5m) of fall
clearance is required.
The self-retracting lifeline fall clearance
calculation also assumes the user is working
directly below the anchor point, minimizing
any possibility for a swing fall. In a swing
fall situation, the total fall distance will be
greater than if the user were working directly
below the anchor point (see Diagram 3). In
some applications, it may not be possible
to work directly below the anchor point. In
such a case, the worker must increase the fall
clearance distance to account for the swing
fall factor. In any case, the worker must not
be exposed to a potential swing fall where
contact with another object may occur (see
Diagram 4).
The maximum arrest distance [free fall (FF) +
deceleration (D)] varies by retractable. Always
refer to the labels on the specic unit to
determine the maximum arrest distance.

5.0 Inspection and
Maintenance
5.1 Inspection and Operation
Testing
Honeywell’s inspection requirements incorporate
the criteria established by current safety
standards. The inspection criteria for the
equipment shall be set by the user’s organization,
such that it equals or exceeds the criteria
required by the manufacturer and the standards
with which the organization elects to comply.
Equipment shall be thoroughly inspected
and operationally tested by the user before
each use, and additionally, by a competent
person, other than the user, at least annually
(or semi-annually per ANSI A10.32) for:
[*ANSI Z359.14 and CSA Z259.2.2-17 provide
additional inspection requirements based on type
of use and conditions of use. Refer to Table 2 for
compliance with these standards. (*See note in 6.2
Maintenance.)]
Absence or illegibility of markings/labels.
Absence of any elements affecting the
equipment form, t or function.
Evidence of defects in or damage to the
cable lifeline including cuts, broken strands,
corrosion, kinks, chemical attack, abrasion,
alteration, excessive aging, and excessive wear.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves when
inspecting cable lifelines; broken strands
can cause injury!
Operational damage to the lifeline.
Retraction - With the device in a mounted
position, test the lifeline retraction and tension
by pulling out several feet of the lifeline and allow
to retract back into the unit. Always maintain
a light tension on the lifeline as it retracts. The
lifeline should pull out freely and retract all the
way back into the unit. If the lifeline does not
pull out smoothly or sticks when retracting, pull
all the lifeline out of the housing and allow it to
retract slowly under tension. Do not use the unit
if the lifeline does not retract properly.
CAUTION: Do not let go of the lifeline and
let it retract on its own; always maintain
tension while it retracts!
Lockup Mechanism - The braking mechanism
can be tested by grasping the lifeline and
applying a sharp steady pull downward which
will engage the brakes. There should be no
slippage of the lifeline while the brakes are
engaged. Once tension is released, the brakes
will disengage and the unit will return to the
retractable mode.
Evidence of defects in or damage to
hardware elements including cracks, breaks,
rough or sharp edges, deformation, corrosion,
chemical attack, excessive heating, pitted
surfaces, alteration, and excessive wear.
