Introduction - 3M Deus 3000 Série Manuel D'instruction

Congratulations on your selection of a
DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent device.
DEUS 3000 Series devices represent the most
technically advanced, controlled descent devices in
the world.
DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent devices have
four independent brakes for maximum control,
versatility and safety:
1) a disk actuated drum brake operated with the
control dial allows you to "stop" or "go" hands free
2) the "always-active" centrifugal brake
3) the self-adjusting hands-free figure eight brake
provides redundant security
4) manual rope tailing provides precise control.
Rope runs through DEUS 3000 Series controlled
descent devices in either direction. This makes it
posible to rescue multiple people, one at a time.
DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent devices are
designed for repeated use, which makes them ideal
for training.
Intended Use
L
IMPORTANT: DEUS 3000 Series controlled
descent devices are designed for use by
professionals. The proper use of these devices
are inherently risky. They should only be used by
someone who has been property trained. For
more information on training, contact 3M. These
devices must not be used for play, and must not
be used by anyone who has not been trained,
as it may place the user at risk of serious injury
or death.
L
IMPORTANT: Each DEUS controlled
descent device model is certified for use ONLY
with specific DEUS-approved ropes – do not
experiment with or use any other ropes. The
internal brake systems of each model have been
calibrated with the particular features of specific
DEUS ropes. Use of any other rope risks serious
injury.

The DEUS 7300 controlled descent device is
recommended by 3M.

IMPORTANT: During rescue training,
there should be an additional rescue kit readily
available and located nearby that is not part of
the equipment being used for the training.
