4. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PARTS OF
AVERTICAL RESCUE SYSTEM
A vertical rescue system consists of six
interdependent parts: 1) anchorage, 2) anchorage
connector, 3) rope, 4) controlled descent device,
5) connectors, and 6) harness. To conduct a
rescue after a fall, an additional part – a rescue
transfer unit – is also required. The system is only
as strong as the weakest part in the system. It is
the responsibility of the user to make sure he or
she understands all of the parts in the system and
how to use those parts.
In this manual, the term "controlled descent
device" is used to refer to a piece of hardware,
like one of the devices in the DEUS 3000 Series,
that is used to control vertical descent during an
escape or rescue. A "controlled descent device"
is part of a "vertical rescue system." The term
"vertical rescue system" is used to describe the
system that includes all of the parts listed in the
previous paragraph.
WARNING: SKYLOTEC has carefully selected
each component of our escape and rescue
kits to work in conjunction with SKYLOTEC
descent devices for optimal efficiency and safety.
Substituting any of these components may result
in injury or death. Anchorage – The anchorage
needs to be solid, unmovable, unyielding, and
unbreakable. Professionals who work at height
usually rely on pre-planned anchorages rated
to support specific maximum loads, depending
on the standard followed. For EN, the anchor
point must comply with EN 795, be above the
userwithstand at least 12kN. For ANSI, the anchor
must comply with ANSI Z359.1 and withstand
22.2 kN. Selection of an appropriate anchorage
is critical to performing a safe escape or rescue
descent and requires considerable training.
Anchorage connector – The anchorage
connector connects the vertical rescue system
to the anchorage. Always select an appropriate
anchorage connector. Ensure that the connection
between the anchorage and the descender
does not create obstacles that could impede
the descent. SKYLOTEC DEUS 3000 Series
