Make sure you have a shovel and probe to go along with the avalanche beacon! Click the "Related Product" below to rent the shovel and probe.
- 3 antenna system pinpoints the location of burials within a 50m range regardless of antenna orientation and burial depth
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology displays transmitting units as stick figures on an easy-to-view LCD screen
- When signals are detected, the approximate distance and direction to the burials are displayed—simply follow the arrows to reach a burial
- During multiple burial scenarios, the DSP separates the multiple signals and clearly displays the number of buried victims
- Upon locating the position of the first victim, the searcher can mark and mask the found signal and immediately begin searching for other burials
- Smart Transmitter works while buried by receiving signals of other burials, synchronizing them, and then transmitting a signal without any overlap
- Eliminating signal overlap allows the searcher to quickly interpret the audible and visual information with increased accuracy and less confusion
- Pieps DSP can measure frequency deviation of all transceivers, a great pre-ski tour test to conduct
- Transceivers that deviate significantly from standard 457 kHz frequency can be difficult to locate because the signal is not detected at full strength
- Knowing the level of deviation present in a transceiver allows a party to thoroughly assess transceiver operation prior to heading out
- Improved scan function quickly narrows the field into three distinct search ranges and returns an overview of all buried devices within each range
- Updated buttons are now easier to use than previous versions while wearing gloves
- Adjustable, nylon harness with pouch keeps the unit secure and accessible
- Can be used with the Pieps iProbe (not included); iProbe can temporarily suppress the signal of a transmitting Pieps transceiver to make searching for multiple burials easier
- Compatible with all beacons operating on the 457 kHz frequency
- Pieps DSP avalanche transceiver operates on 3 AAA batteries, included
