Mechan ControlsInstallation kit for SL4 pull rope safety switch

Tensioning kit for Safeline 4 pull rope safety switch from Mechan Controls. Tensioning of rope is achieved by the use of any safety tensioner kit or the Mechan Controls tensioner.

Includes:

• Rope (5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30, 50m, or 75m), polypropylene covered steel cable
• 1 stainless steel turn buckle kit, 316 stainless steel
• 4 cable clamps, plastic & 316 stainless steel
• 4 eyebolts (M8 x 1.25 thread size), 316 stainless steel
• 1 anchor plate, 316 stainless steel

Installation:

1. Installation of the Mechan Grab wire SL4 system must be in accordance with a risk assessment for the individual application. Installation must only be conducted by competent personnel and in accordance with these instructions.
2. According to ISO13850 (EN418), pulleys may only be mounted such that a complete length of the rope can be observed.
3. Rope support eyebolts must be fitted at 2.5 m. intervals along all rope lengths between switches. The rope must be supported no more than 500mm from the Switch eyebolt or Safety Spring (if used). It is important that this first 500mm is not used as part of the active protection coverage.
4. M5 mounting bolts must be used to fix the switch. Tightening torque for mounting bolts to ensure
   reliable fixing is 4 Nm. Tightening torque for the lid screws, conduit entry plugs and cable glands
   must be 1.5 Nm to ensure IP seal. Only use the correct size gland for the conduit entry and cable
   outside diameter.

During and after the installation:

On installation set the tension to the mid position as indicated by the markers in the viewing windows
of each SL4. Check the operation of the SL4 and the control circuits by pulling the rope at various
locations along the active protection area and resetting each SL4 by turning the Blue Reset switch.
Ensure each time that the SL4 latches off and requires manual resetting by turning the blue reset
switch. Increase the system tension further, if required, depending upon the checks along the active
length of coverage.
