SKYLOTEC DEUS 3300 Instructions D'utilisation page 25

This inspection is the same as the "Before each
use" inspection. If the technician determines that
a rope is unsafe to use, it must be retired from
service and replaced with a new rope.
Every three years
IMPORTANT: To maintain your warranty, each
DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent device
must be returned to a SKYLOTEC-Certified
Maintenance Center* every three years for factory
inspection, testing, maintenance and replacement
or repair of worn parts. A SKYLOTEC-Certified
Maintenance Center will charge for inspection,
repair, replacement parts and return shipping
and handling. Factory recertification will include
replacement of the date sticker on the drive
wheel.
Every five years
IMPORTANT: Ropes must be replaced at least
every five years whether they have been used
or not.
Descent Energy Calculation
The brake pads in the SKYLOTEC DEUS 3000
Series are designed to absorb 200 million joules
of energy. Inspection intervals are every 1.5
million joules for EN 341/1B and 406,750 joules
for ANSI Z359.4. If someone in your organization
is responsible for equipment inspection contact
SKYLOTEC for this training. Calculation of
descent energy is done as follows:
Multiply descent height (meters) times load
(kilograms) times number of descents times 10.
(The last "10" refers to the acceleration constant
of gravity. The actual acceleration constant of
gravity is 9.8 meters/sec/sec. The value of 10 is
used for simpler mental approximation. 9.8 can
be used in your usage log for greater accuracy.)
The unit of measure of the resulting calculation
is joules.
