GENERAL INFORMATION
The C.A.M.P. Group meets the needs of workers at height with light and innovative products. These are
designed, tested and manufactured to a certified quality system, ensuring reliable and safe products. These
instructions inform you about the correct use throughout the life of the product: read, understand and keep these
instructions. If lost, you can download the instructions from the web site www.camp.it. The EU declaration of
conformity can be also downloaded from our site. The retailer must provide the instruction manual in the language of the
country where the product is to be sold.
USE
This equipment should be used only by trained and competent persons. Otherwise the user should be under the direct
supervision of a trained and competent person. This notice will not teach you the techniques for work at height or any
other associated activity: you must have received qualified instruction before using this product. Climbing, and any
other activity for which these products may be used, is inherently dangerous. The consequences of incorrect selection,
misuse or poor maintenance of equipment could result in damage, serious injury or death. The user must be medically
fit and capable to control his own security and any possible emergency situations. For equipment intended for use in fall
arrest systems, it is essential for safety that the anchor device or anchor point should always be positioned, and the
work carried out in such way as to minimise both the potential for falls and the potential fall distance. Verify the free
space required beneath the user at the workplace before each occasion of use, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be
no collision with the ground or the other obstacle in the fall path. A full body harness is the only acceptable body holding
device that can be used in a fall arrest system. The product should only be used as instructed and no alterations should
be made to it. It may be used in conjunction with any appropriate items of suitable specification and according to the EN
standards, with due consideration to the limitations of each individual piece of equipment. This leaflet shows examples
of improper utilizations of this product. Note that it is impossible to show or imagine all improper utilizations and that this
product should be used only in the way specified by the manufacturer in this leaflet. If possible this product should be
treated as personal.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning of the textile and plastic parts: rinse in clean water and neutral soap (max temperature 30°C) and dry naturally
away from direct heat. Cleaning of the metallic parts: rinse in clean water and then dry. Temperature: Always keep this
product below 80°C so as not to affect the performance of the product. Chemicals: withdraw the product from service if it
comes into contact with chemical reagents, solvents or fuels which could affect the performance of the product.
STORAGE
Store unpacked in a cool, dry, dark place away from heat sources, high humidity, sharp edges, corrosives or other
possible causes of damage.
RESPONSIBILITY
The company C.A.M.P. spa, or the distributor, will not accept any responsibility for damage, injury or death resulting

accidents or negligence, use for which this product is not specifically designed.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION
SUMMARY
CAMP Giant is intended to protect against risks of falling from a height when used as follows:
• a descender of the working line certified in accordance with standard EN 12841:2006 type C;
• an ascender of the working line certified in accordance with standard EN 12841:2006 type B;
• a fall arrester for the safety line certified in accordance with standard EN 12841:2006 type A;
• a descender used for rescue and evacuation certified in accordance with standard EN 341:2011 type 2A;
• a belaying and rappelling device for climbing and connected activities in compliance with standard EN 15151-1:2012:
braking device with manually assisted locking.Type 8, equipped with anti-panic locking device.
• a descender used for rescue and evacuation tested in accordance with U.S. standard ANSI/ASSE Z359.4-2013.
Compatibility
Rope
Giant must be used solely and exclusively in combination with the following ropes (fig.1):
• EN 12841A/B/C use: semi-static ropes EN 1891/A with diameter from 10 to 11.5 mm;
• EN 341/2A use: semi-static rope EN 1891/A type CAMP Safety Iridium 10.5 mm art.2810A;
• EN 15151-1 use: dynamic single rope EN 892 with diameter from 9.9 to 11 mm;
• ANSI/ASSE Z359.4 use: semi-static rope EN 1891/A type CAMP Safety Iridium 11 mm art.2811A;
During the certification process the following ropes were used: CAMP Iridium 10.5 mm, CAMP Iridium 11 mm, Cousin
Trestec Spelunca 10.1 mm, Beal Antipodes 11.5 mm, CAMP Quasar 9.9 mm, CAMP Magnon 11 mm.
Warning: the stated diameter of ropes on the market may have a tolerance of up to +/- 0.2 mm.
Braking effectiveness and ease of giving slack can vary depending on the diameter, construction, wear and tear, and
surface treatment of the rope and other variables, such as: frozen, muddy, wet, dirty ropes, etc.
At each use the user must familiarise him or herself with the braking effect of the device on the rope and ensure that the
rope is in good condition. Ensure that the lower end of the rope has stitching or a stop knot. The device may heat up
during descent and damage the rope: take care. Safe operation of the device is connected to the rope conditions: if the
rope is damaged it must be replaced.
Harness
• EN 12841B/C use: use with EN 813 sit harnesses (ventral attachment point).
• EN 12841A use: use with EN 361 full body harness (sternal or dorsal attachment points).
• EN 341/2A use: use with EN 361 and/or EN 813 and/or EN 1496 and/or EN 1497 harnesses.
• EN 15151-1 use: use with EN 12277 and/or EN 813 harnesses.
• ANSI/ASSE Z359.4 use: use with ANSI/ASSE Z359.1 and/or Z359.4 and/or Z359.11 full body harnesses.
Carabiner
Exclusive use of carabiners with locking gate. Oval shaped carabiners are recommended, length 110 mm (+/- 10 mm).
• EN 12841A/B/C and EN 341/2A use: EN 362 class B carabiners.
• EN 15151-1 use: EN 12275 class B or X carabiners.
• ANSI/ASSE Z359.4 use: ANSI/ASSE Z359.12 carabiners.
Anchoring
The anchors used must comply with EN 795 or be known to have resistance greater than 15 kN. Anchoring must always
be placed above the user. Avoid any slack on the rope. Anchoring may be below the user and is able to sustain falls
solely and exclusively in the case of climbing progression during EN 15151-1 use of the device with dynamic ropes.
Connection to the anchoring point must be arranged in such a way so as not to impede descent.
