Installation and Use
Stingray Anchors MUST NOT be used as permanent anchors. NEVER install on bottom beam flange.
Stingray Anchors MUST ONLY be installed on horizontal structural steel “I” beams capable of withstanding 5,000 lbs. per PFAS in complete system.
Compatible Beam Flange Measurements:
WARNING
!
Stingray Anchors may be used as independent anchorage connectors OR as components of a complete HLL system. In HLL applications, Stingray Anchors stop falls by allowing the attached steel cable to stretch via the bending and deflection of system posts, and via PFAS equipment worn by user. In the event of a fall, some deformation of the building structure or steel support beams is possible. Guardian Fall Protection is not responsible for any structural damages that may occur.
When used as anchorage connector, MAXIMUM 1 connection per Stingray Anchor.
When used in HLL applications, 300’ MAXIMUM system length. MAXIMUM 60’ between consecutive Stingray Anchors; for complete Stingray Anchor Systems longer than 60’, intermediary Stingray Anchor(s) and at least 1 additional Absorbinator MUST be used.
While details about Absorbinator are provided in this manual, the complete Absorbinator instruction manual MUST be read and fully understood prior to using Absorbinator in combination with Stingray Anchor.
NEVER use Stingray Anchor simultaneously as independent
anchorage connector and as component of HLL system.
Width: 5” - 13”
Maximum thickness: 3--3/8”
Max 60’
MAXIMUM 2 PFAS per complete Stingray Anchor System, unless the following conditions are met:
1. HLL Cable, with attached Absorbinator, must be terminated at a pair of Stingray Anchors. This is considered 1 span.
2. In intended direction of HLL, and on non-utilized connection point of Stingray Anchor from previous pair, attach another Absorbinator, then attach separate HLL Cable to Absorbinator to continue Stingray Anchor System.
3. 2 PFAS may be used per EACH Absorbinator span within Stingray Anchor System up to a MAXIMUM 6 PFAS in entire system.

Prior to installation and use, plan your system:
1. Ensure selected installation locations for Stingray Anchors will withstand minimum loads as specified by this instruction manual.
2. ALWAYS make considerations to eliminate or reduce swing fall hazards.
3. Fall clearance for each installation location MUST be calculated by a Qualified Person, and MUST be considered in the selection of PFAS equipment (refer to pgs. 6-7).
4. Ensure all components of PFAS are selected and deemed compatible with Stingray Anchor by a Competent Person.
5. For HLL applications, ensure entire HLL system design and installation is done under supervision of Qualified Person. NEVER judge HLL tension by eye; ALWAYS measure line sag and keep in concordance with sag requirements specified by Absorbinator instruction manual. NEVER over-tighten cable; proper sag in cable reduces forces of fall arrest.
6. If performing installation at heights over 6’, ALWAYS use a complete and independent PFAS until Stingray Anchor System is fully installed and able to withstand forces of Fall Arrest as specified by this instruction manual. Always maintain 100% tie-off.
Installation:
Stingray Anchor Assembly:
1. Measure and plan installation locations for all Stingray Anchors. It is recommended that at least 2’ be allowed between Stingray Anchor and end of beam. MAXIMUM spacing between
Stingray Anchors is 60’.
2. Install Stingray Anchor Post into Base Assembly. Both pairs of 1/2” x 3” Hex Bolts and 1/2” Hex Nuts MUST be used. Tighten with compatible wrench until snug. DO NOT torque. Complete this step for all required Stingray Anchors. Assemble all Stingray Anchors at ground level and away from all fall hazards.
3. With compatible wrench, thread mounting bolts to the point where Stingray Base Assembly will fit fully around selected compatible structural beam.

4. Place Stingray Anchor at selected installation location on structural beam. Tilt Base Assembly to one side and tighten Mounting Bolt on that side until snug. Repeat for opposite side. Ensure back of Base Assembly throat is flush against beam flange.
5. With compatible wrench, ensure both Mounting Bolts are snug against beam flange.
6. Insert both Clamp Assemblies through corresponding installation locations, and hook over beam flange. Secure both Clamp Assemblies with corresponding wing nuts and tighten until snug. Tap both wing nuts with a hammer to fully secure.
7. Re-tighten all fasteners mentioned in steps 1-6 to ensure entire Stingray Anchor is fully secured to structural beam.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 for all Stingray Anchors.
Absorbinator and HLL Installation:
1. Typical HLL systems include cable (MUST be 3/8” aircraft cable), turnbuckle tensioner, cable clamps, anchor points (Stingray Anchors), a shock absorber (Absorbinator), and fasteners. ALWAYS read and understand all equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Ensure all Stingray Anchors are aligned by using a string line between the end anchorage points. HLL Cable must be able to connect to all applicable Stingray Anchor connection points and travel through all applicable Pass-Through Accessories, while always maintaining appropriate line sag as specified by Absorbinator instruction manual.
3. Fully plan all anticipated uses of Stingray Anchor HLL System and maximum number of PFAS that will attach to entire system at one time. Minimum 2 Absorbinators required for systems greater than 60’. 1 Absorbinator required for every 2 PFAS attached to system. MAXIMUM 2 PFAS per span. 2 PFAS maximum for entire system unless following conditions are met:
• For entire Stingray Anchor System to allow for more than maximum 2 PFAS, additional Absorbinators are required.
• Absorbinator system must be attached to connection point of first Stingray Anchor. HLL Cable must connect to Absorbinator system, then terminate at connection point of second Stingray. This is considered 1 span.
• To continue system with additional spans, on remaining connection point of second Stingray Anchor, another Absorbinator system MUST be installed, and a separate HLL Cable MUST be attached to Absorbinator and terminated at next selected Stingray Anchor connection point.
• When transferring between spans within a continuous Stingray Anchor HLL System, ALWAYS maintain 100% tie-off. NEVER disconnect PFAS from HLL System before connecting to next span. A dual-leg lanyard or SRL, or other compatible equipment, is necessary to maintain 100% tie-off in this manner.
Even with proper number of Absorbinators, MAXIMUM 6 PFAS attachments per system.
