The Rescumatic® Automatic Descent Controller provides safe, automatic controlled descent from overhead cranes, towers, buildings or other heights. The system safely lowers the endangered person(s) at a controlled rate of three feet per second, either vertically or angled. In addition, the unit automatically adjusts to the user's body weight.
The Rescumatic® is also extremely easy to operate. No power source or special skills or tools are required. Once the unit is secured to an anchorage, the rope can be dropped to the ground. The user can now slip on the support harness, step off of the edge and be lowered to safety. As the first person is being lowered, a second harness is traveling up ready to be used by the next person.

1.2 LIMITATIONS:
Consider the following application limitations before using this equipment:
A. CAPACITY:
The Rescumatic® is designed for use by persons with a combined weight (clothing, tools, ect.) of 75 lbs. to 300 lbs. (Rescue Cradle capacity is 350 lbs.)
B. DESCENT SPEED:
The average speed at which the user will be lowered when using the Rescumatic® Emergency Escape Device is 3 feet per second.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:
Use of this equipment in areas with environmental hazards may require additional precautions to prevent injury to the user or damage to the equipment. Hazards may include, but are not limited to; high heat, caustic chemicals, corrosive environments, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, moving machinery, and sharp edges.
D. TRAINING:
This equipment must be installed and used by persons trained in its correct application and use.
E. MAXIMUM SYSTEM LENGTH:
The maximum length of descent is 1,000 feet. Special precautions in storing and unwinding the rope are required for all lengths over 250 feet.
F. NUMBER OF USERS:
The Rescumatic® Emergency Escape Device is used by one person at a time. Multiple descents can be performed.
G. BODY SUPPORT:
The webbing body support strap provided with the system provides limited support when descending. For long descents, or if immediate descent is not mandatory, a full body harness is recommended to help support and provide comfort to the user.
1.3 APPLICATION STANDARDS:
Refer to applicable standards, including local, state, and federal requirements for more information.
2.0 System Requirements
2.1 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS:
DBI/SALA equipment is designed for use with DBI/SALA approved components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may effect the safety and reliability of the complete system.
2.2 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS:
Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact DBI/SALA if you have any questions about compatibility.
- Connectors ( hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22kN).
Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage. See Figure 2. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA.
