PIEPS iProbe - Product advantages
Details

- iProbe handle
- The optical target indicator flashes while approaching
any avalanche transceiver - The acoustic target indicator „beeps“ while approaching
any avalanche transceiver. Once the distance is less than
approx. 50 cm: continuous signal - Button MARK: Deactivate/Activate the located transceiver
with iPROBE support - Quick-closing latch for efficient
assembly of the probe - Durable tubes made of extremely light
and high quality carbon fibre -
space saving because collapsible and
easy to stow with velcro strap - Coating for perfect grip –
even with winter gloves - Printed centimetre-scale to estimate
burial depth and for snow profiles - Probe tip with integrated receiver -
locates any avalanche transceiver
Know-How
iProbe Support
The PIEPS iPROBE Carbon is an avalanche probe with integrated digital technology. It provides a hit and proximity reading for every standard beacon transmitter and enables a brief deactivation of the detected transmitter (for transceivers with iPROBE support).
When the tip of the probe is about 2 meters from the transmitting beacon, the first acoustic signal is given (Piep_Piep_) and the LED lights up. At a distance of about 50 cm a continuous sound (Piiiiiiiiiep) is emitted and the LED remains continuously on.
If the transmitting beacon supports the iPROBE function, the rescuer can deactivate it by pressing the MARK button (on the probe handle). By pressing the MARK button again for a longer time or by removing the iPROBE tip from the vicinity of the transmitting beacon (>50 cm), the deactivated transmitting beacon is activated once more.
