be rigged
ser configurado


Explanation:
O inglês original é ruim (por exemplo, "such that" está mal empregado, devia ser "in such a way that"). De qualquer maneira, agora que temos o contexto (obrigado), o equipamento de prevenção de quedas deve ser configurado para limitar quedas a 6 pés. É mais específico que meramente preparado.
