Deceleration Unit:
Overlapped nylon webbing is heavily cross-stitched together with nylon thread and sewn into a protective break-away jacket for optimal fall-arrest impact reduction.
Progressive tearing away of nylon stitching absorbs most of a fall-arrest impact.
A fully released deceleration unit extends the original length of a lanyard by a total of 3.5 ft. (1.1 m) and virtually eliminates rebound.
Deceleration units are available separately or with permanently attached lanyards made of nylon rope, aircraft cable, or nylon webbing.
All Klein deceleration units are certified and compliant with ANSI and CSA requirements.
On Klein deceleration units, a red warning label stitched to the overlapped nylon webbing inside the protective break-away jacket will identify a used lanyard and direct the disposal of the unit.
WARNING: Deceleration units are designed solely for use in fall-arrest systems.
| Nylon Rope:
|
| Exposure to Excessive Heat |
Poor resistance. Becomes brittle, has a shriveled brown appearance. Fibers will break when flexed. Weakens at 300F (149C). |
| Exposure to Chemicals |
Generally good resistance, except around strong acids and phenolic compounds (phenol is present in coal tar and wood tar), which cause it to become brittle. |
| Exposure to Molten Metal or Flame |
Poor resistance. Strands fuse together and form hard, shiny spots. Has hard and brittle feel. Will not
support combustion. |
| Exposure to Paints or Solvents |
Generally offers good resistance. However, paint can penetrate into the weave and dry. This can cause webbing to become hard and brittle and can eventually break the fibers. Some solvents may affect fibers (see "Exposure to Chemicals"). |
| Exposure near Live Electrical Lines and Equipment |
Poor protection (no dielectric strength). Provides no protection to exposure to live electrical lines or equipment. |
When using any Klein Occupational Safety Equipment, always follow the A-B-C rule.
