Types of Klein OPE Connecting Devices
(continued)
Deceleration Units
On Klein deceleration units, the
uncovering of a red-lettered warning
label inside the leather jacket indicates that the
unit was subjected to a severe impact force;
therefore, the unit must not be used and must be
disposed of immediately.
Deceleration Units are designed solely for use in
fall-arrest systems. They are made of overlapped
nylon webbing, heavily cross-stitched together
with nylon thread and sewn into a protective breakaway
jacket. Available separately or with permanently-
attached lanyards made of nylon rope, aircraft cable,
or nylon webbing.
The Deceleration Lanyard is designed solely
for use in fall-arrest systems. It features an
energy-absorbing inner core made of polyester,
protected by an outer shell made of orange tubular
nylon webbing. Locking snap hooks are permanently
attached at both ends.
On Klein dual deceleration
lanyards, the uncovering of a red-
lettered warning label indicates that the unit
was subjected to a severe impact force;
therefore, the unit must not be used and must
be disposed of immediately.
Deceleration Lanyard
Dual Deceleration Lanyard
The Dual Deceleration Lanyard is designed solely for
use in fall-arrest systems. This “two-legged” lanyard
can be used when 100% tie-off is required. It allows
the user to attach to a new fall-arrest anchorage with
one lanyard leg, while staying connected to the original
fall-arrest anchorage with the remaining lanyard leg.
The Dual Deceleration Lanyard has an energy-
absorbing inner core made of polyester, surrounded by
an outer shell made of orange tubular nylon webbing.
Locking snap hooks are permanently attached at the
ends of both legs and at the deceleration end.
On Klein deceleration lanyards,
the uncovering of a red-lettered
warning label indicates that the unit was
subjected to a severe impact force; therefore,
the unit must not be used and must be disposed
of immediately.
