“RIDE LIKE A PRO – RESCUE LIKE A PRO”
The PIEPS PRO SERIES is made for professionals in mountain sports. Whether a mountain guide, ski guide or rescue team, the devices of this series offer the latest technology and best performance in any situation.
The PIEPS PRO BT offers a range of advanced features for professionals.
The SCAN function can be used to efficiently solve scenarios where multiple people are buried in snow.
Built-in Bluetooth technology and our PIEPS APP allow you to update and check your device or your entire fleet of PIEPS BT devices.
The PIEPS APP can be used to create challenging training scenarios for avalanche rescue.
SCAN function
Keep an overview! This feature provides a quick overview of the situation with multiple people buried in snow and shows the number of buried persons in a specific close-up area.
Victim selection
Strategic targeted search! In detailed SCAN mode, the avalanche beacon displays direction and distance for each buried person to enable a targeted rescue strategy.
Group check pro-mode
Check like a PRO! Efficiently verify that the beacons in the group are transmitting and receiving correctly.
Inclinometer
The inclinometer function displays the steepness of the terrain.
Auto Antenna Switch
Always uses the antenna with the strongest signal.
Ghost Signal Elimination
Pieps’ sophisticated signal verification only displays signals from beacons and not “ghost signals” from other sources.
Auto Search-to-Send
The avalanche beacon automatically switches from search to send after a certain period of inactivity (no movement).
DID YOU KNOW?
Range specifications are not standardized, nor is there a central body that determines the range. This is up to the manufacturers! In the following section, we explain how we define our stated range:
Range definitions
CIRCULAR RECEIVING RANGE:
PIEPS devices have a so-called “circular receiving range”. This means that the X and Y antennas are equally strong during the coarse search (max. 10% power difference in the best coupling position).
This almost circular reception characteristic leads to a simpler and more efficient coarse search. With antennas of different strengths, on the other hand, an elliptical reception characteristic results, which means that the device has a shorter reception range to its side than to the front or rear.
USEFUL RANGE:
With Useful Range, we specify the range at which a constant signal can still be received even in the worst case, i.e. with the most unfavorable coupling position between the transmitter and the search device.
SEARCH STRIP WIDTH:
The search strip width indicates the range that counts in an emergency. How wide can I choose my search section to be sure that I will locate the buried victim(s) if they are in this area?
The search strip width we recommend is double the USEFUL RANGE. Double because this range covers two directions. This means to the front and to the rear, as well as to the left and to the right. With a recommended search strip width of 60 m, you can therefore pass through the middle of an avalanche cone with a width of 60 m, as you have a range of 30 meters to the left and right. As our recommended search strip width is based on the USEFUL RANGE, we also cover the most unfavorable scenario.
Max Range
Specifies the range from which stable initial reception is possible in the best coupling position. For us, stable initial reception means that 8 out of 10 pulses are correctly detected.
It can be wild out there!
We work hard to create products that keep you safe in the mountains. It is essential that you are familiar with your avalanche beacon, probe and shovel. Practice with your friends and have fun on your adventures!
