SINGING ROCK - Tendril V Lanyard 85/95cm

The wear indicator on the SINGING ROCK Tendril V Lanyard serves as an essential safety feature by providing a visual cue when the lanyard's outer layer is compromised. When the outer layer is damaged, the glowing core becomes visible, alerting users to the need for replacement. This feature ensures that the lanyard is always in optimal condition, reducing the risk of failure during use. It is particularly beneficial in environments where wear and tear are common, such as rope parks.

The larks-foot attachment method used in the Tendril V Lanyard provides a secure and stable connection to the harness. This method involves looping the lanyard through itself, creating a tight and reliable attachment point. It minimizes the risk of accidental detachment, making it suitable for high-movement activities. However, users must ensure proper installation to maintain safety standards and prevent slippage.

The Tendril V Lanyard is most effectively used in controlled environments like rope parks where fall arrest is not the primary concern. It is designed to be used in conjunction with EN 17109 devices, which are typically employed in settings where users are secured by other means. This lanyard is ideal for activities that require frequent movement and positioning adjustments, providing flexibility and durability.

The Tendril V Lanyard is not suitable for stand-alone fall arrest because it lacks the necessary shock-absorbing features required to safely arrest a fall. It is designed to be used as part of a system that includes other safety devices compliant with EN 354 standards. Using it alone in fall arrest scenarios could result in injury, as it does not mitigate the forces experienced during a fall.

The two-part webbing construction of the Tendril V Lanyard enhances its durability and longevity. This design allows the lanyard to withstand the rigors of demanding environments, providing reliable performance over time. The robust 23 mm webbing is resistant to abrasion and wear, ensuring that the lanyard maintains its integrity even with frequent use.

To maintain the safety and longevity of the Tendril V Lanyard, regular inspections and proper storage are essential. Users should frequently check for signs of wear, especially looking for the glowing core as an indicator of damage. The lanyard should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and chemicals that could degrade the material. Regular maintenance ensures that the lanyard remains in optimal condition for safe use.

EN 354 compliance signifies that the Tendril V Lanyard meets specific safety standards for lanyards used in fall protection systems. This compliance ensures that the lanyard is designed and tested to perform reliably within its specified use cases. It is crucial for users to pair the lanyard with other compliant equipment to maintain overall system safety and effectiveness.

The Tendril V Lanyard can be used with most harnesses that allow for a larks-foot attachment. However, it is important to ensure that the harness is compatible with EN 17109 devices for optimal safety. Users should verify that their harness can accommodate the lanyard's attachment method and is rated for the intended activity to ensure secure and effective use.

The length of the Tendril V Lanyard, available in 85/95 cm, influences its range of motion and the activities it supports. A longer lanyard provides greater movement flexibility, which is beneficial in activities requiring frequent repositioning. However, users must ensure that the total length does not exceed 2 meters to comply with EN 354 standards, as excessive length can compromise safety by increasing fall distance.

When using the Tendril V Lanyard in demanding environments, it is crucial to regularly inspect the lanyard for wear and damage. Users should ensure that the wear indicator is not exposed, as this signals the need for replacement. Additionally, it is important to use the lanyard in conjunction with other safety devices and to follow all manufacturer guidelines to maintain safety and compliance with relevant standards.
