RESCUE USE
SUMMARY
CAMP Druid and Druid Pro are descenders of the working line for rope access rescue by two people (maximum load
200 Kg), for use in combination with semi-static ropes EN 1891 Type A with nominal diameter between 10 and 11mm.
USE
Use for rescue involves additional risks with respect to single use, so it needs to provide additional training to
rescuers: intended for use only by expert and trained individuals. Avoid any possibility of slack being created on the
rope, avoid lateral shifts from vertical. The rescue rope must always be combined with a safety rope that has an EN
12841A fall prevention device that can be used to rescue for loads up to 200 Kg.
For the two possible rescue configurations see Fig. 17A and Fig. 17B.
MARKING
Rescue use is not covered by 89/686/EEC directive.
CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE
Before and after each use, check the correct operation of all moving parts including the function of the spring action of the
movable cam [6] and the actuating lever [4], and the correct operation of the anti-panic device. Check for the presence of
dirt or foreign objects that can affect or prevent operation (e.g. grease, grit, sand, pebbles, etc.).
Cleanliness: use a damp cloth (fresh water) and clean all the visible parts, then dry. Do not use solvents. Do not submerge
