Device Functionality
The Stopfor devices are mechanical fall arresters that work with flexible anchorage lines. Each model is designed for specific anchorage lines and has undergone CE type examination.

Stopfor Models

Stopfor S: Moves along a stranded anchorage line, automatically locking during a fall.
Stopfor A: Similar to S, with an additional anti-panic feature.
Stopfor AP: Includes a manual locking feature.
Stopfor K/B: Functions similarly to A, with different blocking mechanisms.

Components

Anchorage Point: Must withstand at least 10kN.
Anchorage Line: Certified by Tractel, available in various lengths and materials.
Lanyards: Available in different lengths for each model.
Connectors: Must have a breaking strength over 22kN.

Installation and Usage
The Stopfor must be installed on a vertically suspended anchorage line, with specific configurations for each model. The document emphasizes the importance of using the correct anchor line and ensuring all components are in good condition before use.

Safety and Maintenance
Regular inspections and maintenance are required, including visual checks for damage and ensuring the Stopfor's effectiveness. The document advises against using the Stopfor for purposes other than fall arrest and mandates annual servicing by Tractel or an authorized repairer.

Environmental and Operational Conditions
The Stopfor is designed for use in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C and must be protected from harsh environmental conditions, such as marine environments or exposure to chemicals.

Compliance and Marking
The equipment complies with European Directive 89/686/CEE and is subject to periodic verification. Each product is marked with essential information, including the manufacturer's details, product designation, and compliance with safety standards.

Prohibitions and Warnings
The document lists several prohibitions, such as not using the Stopfor for suspension or rescue operations, not using it with incompatible components, and not using it if it has stopped a fall without inspection and repair. It also warns against using the Stopfor on anchor lines with angles exceeding 30° from the vertical.

Specifications and Functionality
The document outlines the specifications and functionality of various models of the Stopfor, a fall-prevention self-tightening mechanical device. Each model is designed to work with specific types of anchor lines, which are certified by TRACTEL S.A.S. The Stopfor models are equipped with different safety features, such as the "anti-panic" device in the Stopfor A, and manual blocking in the Stopfor AP.

Installation Configurations
Stopfor models B, S, A, AP, and K should only be installed on a vertical securing device or one with a maximum angle of 30° from the vertical. Users must ensure the anchoring point is always above them. The securing device can be placed in front or behind the user, connected via a strap of varying lengths depending on the Stopfor model used.

Free Height Requirements
The free height must be at least equal to the fall height, which includes the strap length, braking distance, and a safety distance.

Operating Conditions
The equipment is suitable for outdoor work environments, within a temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, and in marine environments. It must be protected from spray products like paint or sandblasting.

Rescue Operations
A programmed examination must be conducted to define the resources needed to rescue a person within 15 minutes in case of a fall.

Pre-Use Checks
Ensure the device and its components are not deformed, and check the effectiveness of the Stopfor's blocking mechanism. The securing device must not have slack between the anchoring point and the Stopfor.

Maintenance and Storage
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the securing device with cold water and drying it away from heat sources. The Stopfor requires minimal maintenance but should be washed with soapy water. Annual maintenance should be performed by TRACTEL or an authorized repairer.

Prohibitions
It is forbidden to use the Stopfor outside of a fall protection system, to connect multiple people to the same Stopfor, or to use it on a securing device with an angle greater than 30° from the vertical.

Compliance and Marking
The Stopfor is part of a vertical fall protection system compliant with EN 363 and other relevant standards. Each component is CE marked, indicating compliance with European Directive 89/686/CEE.

Important Rules
Users must read and understand the manual before use. The Stopfor should only be used by trained individuals and must be part of a compatible fall protection system. Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial for safety.
