Training
IMPORTANT: Training is required before
use of any SKYLOTEC DEUS 3000 Series
controlled descent device. Continued training
with a DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent
device is also necessary to ensure proper
use during emergency situations. SKYLOTEC
always recommends use of a backup belay for
training. For more information on training contact
SKYLOTEC.
Ratings and certifications
The SKYLOTEC DEUS 3000 series controlled
descent devices have been certified by TÜV Süd
Product Service GmbH in Garching, Germany, to
meet the NFPA 1983 (2012 ED) "Escape" safety
standard. The DEUS 3700 controlled descent
device has been certified by TÜV Süd Product
Service GmbH in Garching, Germany, to meet
ANSI Z359.4 (2013 ED) and be in accordance
with EN341/1B:2011 when using Pelican A2W-8.0
rope. The DEUS 3700 has also been certified by
CSA Group in Toronto, Canada, to meet the CSA
Z259.2.3 (2012 ED) Type 1, Class B standard for
controlled descent devices.The table below shows
weight, height and temperature ratings for each
model in the DEUS 3000 Series, according to
ANSI, CSA, EN and NFPA standards.
IMPORTANT: 3700 device must be inspected
before use. Device must be serviced upon
completion of 1.5 million joules of descent energy
or at least annually by a qualified technician and a
log kept of the inspection.

Descent velocity
Within the specified load rating of the DEUS 3300
controlled descent device, the descent velocity
will range from very slow at very low loads up to 3
meters per second at maximum load. Within the
specified load rating of the DEUS 3700 controlled
descent device, the descent velocity will range
from 0.5 at minimum load to 2 meters per second
at maximum load per per EN 341 and ANSI
Z359.4-2013.
2-person rescue descent (DEUS 3700 only)
ANSI, CSA, and EN safety standards limit the
maximum descent rate of controlled descent
devices to 2 meters per second. The DEUS 3700
controlled descent device was designed and
tested to descend within this maximum allowable
speed under a wide variety of circumstances
– including extreme temperature and moisture
conditions. Based on the results of extensive
internal and third-party testing, SKYLOTEC
concluded that the safest maximum working load
for the DEUS 3700 controlled descent device is
140 kg (310 lbs) for optimal performance.
Under some circumstances it may not be possible
to restrict the working load for a one-person self-
rescue or two-person assisted-rescue to 140 kg
(310 lbs). In some cases, extra personal protective
equipment and tools can add over 45 kg (100 lbs)
of weight during a rescue operation. For this
reason, we have conducted extensive testing
of the DEUS 3700 controlled descent device to
measure performance under loads in excess
