BEACON-CHECK | GROUP-CHECK

Despite the extensive self-check, PIEPS recommends that all users perform a beacon check before each tour! Your PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT is equipped with a group-check-function. A check is simple and efficient, it tests to be sure your partners avalanche transceiver is sending a signal and whether the frequency is in compliance with standards.

06/15

BEACON-CHECK | GROUP-CHECK

Activation of group-check-function:

  1. Turn on your PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT (Position SEND).

  2. Wait until „CH ^a appears on the display (CH = CHECK).

  3. Press and continue to hold the MARK button.

The group-check-function is active as long as the MARK button is pressed. Release the MARK button to exit the group-check-function. After a countdown of three seconds, your DSP PRO/SPORT automatically turns into the SEND mode. During the countdown, the group-check-function can be reactivated. The maximum range in group-check-mode is one meter!

Conduct the "big" beacon-check as follows:

(1) Receiving control

Group leader - SEND-mode: Device is sending? All others - SEARCH-mode: Devices are receiving?

(2) Transmission control

Group leader - group-check-mode: Device is receiving? All others -SEND-mode: Devices are sending?

TIP! The receive control can be combined with a range test in long distance.

SEND-MODE

Press the main switch lock and push the main switch to the "SEND" position. The display indicates the SEND-symbol, the remaining battery capacity, and the transmitting antenna. Additionally an LED indicator light flashes simultaneous with the transmitter bit timing.

When you are on a tour, make sure the "SEND"-mode is selected throughout. The PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT will transmit a continuously defined signal (457kHz) that can be picked up from all other avalanche beacons (according EN300718).

Pieps DSP Pro - SEND-MODE - 1

The Intelligent Transmitter - Maximum support in SEND-mode

In SEND-mode there are functions working in the background of PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT that help to be found faster and more efficiently in case of an emergency.

Auto-Antenna-Switch

If the transmitting antenna is negatively influenced through external devices (i.e., mobile phone), the range of receiving beacons is directly influenced (reduction could be 30 % or greater). The PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT is always transmitting with the strongest antenna for the maximum range to the receiving beacon!

iPROBE-Support

Beacons with iPROBE Support? will be automatically deactivated when probing with the electronic probe PIEPS iPROBE. Signal overlap is eliminated and the next strongest signal is automatically shown on the display of the receiving beacon. The PIEPS iPROBE supports maximal in the case of a multiple burial. See also chapter "Multiple Burials". The PIEPS iPROBE Support gives the best solution for multiple burial situations!

*Beacons with iPROBE Support: PIEPS DSP PRO, PIEPS DSP SPORT, PIEPS DSP (with Software version 5.0 or greater), PIEPS DSP TOUR, PIEPS FREERIDE

More information can be found on www.pieps.com.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

A victim has the best chance of being rescued if the largest possible number of companions in a given group have not been buried and work efficiently as a team to search and rescue their companion. In the event of an accident, the most important considerations are to: STAY CALM, BE OBSERVEANT, and RAISE THE ALARM.

① Stay calm &

Press the main switch lock and push the main switch to the "SEARCH" position.

Observe the course of the avalanche and make an exact mental note of (1) where the victim was impacted by the avalanche, (2) the point of disappearance. (3) The extension of these points indicates the flow direction of the avalanche! The primary search area is to the left and right of this.

You are now beginning with the search for initial detection. The PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT has a circular receiving range and allows a direction and distance indication from the first signal (no special method of operation necessary). All signals of the burials that are within the maximum receiving range are received at the same time. To find the first signal walk along the defined search area in the stated search-strip width quickly. The recommended search strip width is 60 m for PIEPS DSP PRO / 50 m for PIEPS DSP SPORT.

IMPORTANT! All participants (including observers) must switch their devices to receiving (SEARCH) mode. Always make sure there are no electronic devices (e.g. mobiles, radios) or solid metal items in the direct vicinity of the search.

06/15|29

(1) As soon as the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT picks up signals, the approximate distance and direction appear in the display. Matchstick men represent the number of burials within the range of the device. Using the arrow and distance reading, follow the strongest of the received signals along the field lines.
(2) Move in the direction indicated by the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT. The distance reading should become progressively smaller. If it gets larger, switch the search direction by 180°, i.e. turn round and follow the opposite direction.

IMPORTANT!

When working in the SEARCH-mode, remain calm and concentrated, and avoid hasty movements!

(1) When you are closer than 5 m to the burial, it is strongly recommended to reduce your moving speed (50 cm/sec). Keep the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT as close as possible to the surface of the snow to have the minimum distance to the transmitting beacon.
(2) To avoid confusion, the direction indication is suppressed at distances less than 2 m. Make an exact last direction correction before the directional arrows are suppressed.
(3) Reduce your moving speed again (10 cm/sec). Continue in the last displayed direction. If the distance reading starts increasing again, move back to the point with the lowest distance reading. At this point, try to get the lowest distance reading, using cross-like movements (90°). Repeat the cross-like approach as long as no lower distance reading can be determined. Do not rotate your PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT during the cross-like movements. The PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT only shows one minimum pertaining to any orientation of the transmitting beacon.

The dynamic acoustic signal supports the fine search: The closer the searcher gets to the victim the beacons tone will become a faster pace/higher pitch.

Pieps DSP Pro - FINE SEARCH - 1

text_image Illustration showing two figures in water with bubbles, one holding a number line and the other displaying numbers like 3x2, 3x1, 3x0, 3x1, 3x2.

Important! Before the direction arrows are suppressed, the last distance correction has to be done exactly. You are then moving to the transmitting beacon in best coupling position and save time during the cross-like movements. In the case of a deep burial it could happen that the minimum direction indication is higher than 2 ml

Important! It's strongly recommended to avoid hasty movements (move approx. 10 cm/sec) and avoid turning and rotating the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT.

MULTIPLE BURIALS

The optimized multiple burial search is based on a separation of signals via the digital signal processor (DSP).

(1) If there are multiple burials, this is clearly indicated by the number of matchstick men.
(2) By default, the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT will automatically search for the strongest signal.
(3) Once the position of the first burial has been located (see fine search), press the button MARK without moving away from this point. This signal is now suppressed. Once a signal has been successfully suppressed, an outline appears around the matchstick man.
(4) The PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT will automatically search for the next strongest signal. (5) Now continue the search as described above, and repeat the procedures until all transmitters are located. If there are no further signals within the receiving range the display indicates "No Signal".

Marking is possible within a range of 5 m to the transmitting beacon. Marking of a second transmitter is possible after 3 seconds after marking the first transmitter at the earliest. If these requirements are not provided, an alert signal sounds by pressing the button „MARK“ again.

MULTIPLE BURIALS

Mark reset of single suppressed signals: To reset the MARK function for single signals, press the button MARK for 3 seconds.

Mark reset of all suppressed signals: To reset the MARK function switch your PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT into SEND-mode and then back to SEARCH-mode. With the PIEPS DSP PRO you also have the possibility to reset MARK with the following described SCAN-function. All information from previously suppressed signals is now reset and you can start with MARK again.

Old device mode: Older analog transceivers are transmitting a weak continuous signal additional to the digital pulse signal that can have an impact on the digital signal separation. In such cases, you may find for a short time that more signals are indicated than actually exist – the display 'number of burials' starts flashing (display of "old device mode"). To suppress (MARK) these transmitters keep a distance of more than 1 m.

Pieps DSP Pro - MULTIPLE BURIALS - 1

Pieps DSP Pro - MULTIPLE BURIALS - 2

IMPORTANT! The MARK function is subject to physical and technical limitations. This applies to all transceivers with MARK function! In practice, one might observe performance-reducing limitations which get intensified by overlapping signals. More information can be found on www.pieps.com.

PIEPS provides with the PIEPS SAFETY SYSTEM (digital PIEPS beacon and electronic probe PIEPS iPROBE) a technical 100% solution for multiple burials. By using a digital PIEPS beacon in combination with the PIEPS iPROBE or iPROBE ONE someone can solve a multiple burial without any performance-reducing limitations! See also chapter "iPROBE Support".

SECONDARY AVALANCHE | AUTO-SEARCH-TO-SEND

A secondary avalanche is an avalanche that occurs during a rescue situation. In this case, the avalanche transceiver of the rescuer is switching immediately to SEND mode, if the device is in SEARCH mode.

Slide the main switch of the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT from SEARCH to SEND without pressing the lock button. The main switch is engaged in SEND mode. Store the device and hold it firmly against the body.

The function Auto-Search-to-Send switches the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT automatically from SEARCH- into SEND-mode. The switching of the PIEPS DSP PRO is based on non-movement and time, at the PIEPS DSP SPORT only on time.

By default, this function is disabled! The activation of the function „Auto-Search-to-Send“ is carried out by all PIEPS competence partners (PIEPS Service Center). Find more information at www.pieps.com.

PIEPS advises that the function Auto-Search-to-Send does not help, when the rescuer has lost his/her beacon in the case of a secondary avalanche. Only if a rescuer wears an active transmitter, the rescuer is properly equipped in the case of a secondary avalanche.

PIEPS BACKUP: PIEPS recommends to deactivate the Auto-Search-to-Send function in every beacon and instead use an emergency transmitter such as the PIEPS BACKUP.

The PIEPS BACKUP is a mini emergency-transmitter (frequency 457 kHz) that is worn in addition to a beacon directly on the body and only starts to transmit in case of an emergency. So PIEPS provides the first 100% solution for being located in the case of a possible secondary avalanche

The PIEPS BACKUP can be received with every standard beacon! Active search operations are never influenced!

Pieps DSP Pro - SECONDARY AVALANCHE | AUTO-SEARCH-TO-SEND - 1

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS FOR PIEPS DSP PRO

The following additional functions are only valid for PIEPS DSP PRO. The functions cannot be used or added to the PIEPS DSP SPORT.

1. SCAN-FUNCTION

Press the SCAN button while in the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO will begin scanning the entire receiving range. During the scan, stand still and hold the device steady. This will give you an overview of all buried devices within the detectable range, classified according to three groups:

Reading 1: Number of beacons within a distance of approx. 5 m Reading 2: Number of beacons within a distance of approx. 20 m Reading 3: Number of beacons within a distance of approx. 50 m

All information from previously suppressed (MARKED) signals will be reset and you can start the suppression again (MARK) or follow the direction indication to the next strongest signal.

Press the button SCAN again to stop the SCAN function.

IMPORTANT! Once you have located all burials, move away from their locations in a star shape and use the SCAN function to check the scenario again. That way you can make sure you haven't missed any other burials.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS FOR PIEPS DSP PRO

2. TRANSMIT PARAMETER CHECK

The transmit characteristics of an avalanche transceiver have to be in accordance with the standard EN300718. The most important parameters are frequency, pulse length, period length. Parameters outside of the allowed range may result in a serious limitation when searching for such a device!

While the group-check-function (see BEACON-CHECK|GROUP-CHECK) only checks the existence of a transmit signal and its frequency, the PIEPS DSP PRO allows a comprehensive check of the transmit parameters:

Activation of the transmit parameter check:

  1. Turn on your PIEPS DSP PRO
    (Position SEND).
  2. Wait until "CH" appears on the display
    (CH = CHECK).
  3. Press and continue to hold the SCAN button.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS FOR PIEPS DSP PRO

3. FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT

Press the SCAN button for more than 3 seconds while in the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO uses the frequency measurement to check the frequency of all other beacons. The frequency of the strongest (closest) beacon is measured. The deviation from the standardized frequency 457kHz is indicated. The shown number is the deviation in Hz and the arrows indicates + (right) or - (left). The frequency measurement ends when the button SCAN is not pressed any longer.

IMPORTANT! Check the transmitting frequency of your ski partners regularly to ensure best performance. According the standard EN300718 a beacon must transmit within the range of 457 kHz +/- 80 Hz. Ideal and reasonable technical operation will have a maximum deviation of no more than +/- 30 Hz.

4. TX600-SUPPORT

The PIEPS TX600 is a mini-transmitter for dogs and equipment that transmits at 456 kHz, which is out of the standard EN300718 (457 kHz +/- 80 Hz) and can be received with every PIEPS DSP PRO.

Hold the MARK and SCAN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds while in the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO switches into the TX600-mode ("TX"-indication on the display) and indicates the direction and distance to the strongest TX600 signal. Also the functions MARK, SCAN and frequency measurement are available in TX600-mode. To activate the search according to the standard EN300718 again, switch the PIEPS DSP PRO to the SEND-mode and then back to the SEARCH-mode.

IMPORTANT! In the standard SEARCH-mode the PIEPS DSP PRO does not indicate the TX600. Active search operations are never influenced. A detection of the TX600 without switching to a special mode is only possible in immediate vicinity (<1 m).

5. INCLINOMETER

The PIEPS DSP PRO has an integrated three dimensional inclinometer.

You can quickly check the angle of a slope:

1) Put your ski pole in slope line at that point

of the slope you want to measure.

2) Hold the SCAN button for 3 seconds while in SEND-mode.

3) Put your PIEPS DSP PRO next to the ski pole and the

angle of the slope is indicated. The display switches back

into SEND-mode automatically after 20 seconds.

Important! During the measurement the PIEPS DSP PRO is transmitting. In case of an emergency the beacon can be lost. PIEPS recommends to make measurements in avalanche dangerous areas only in combination with the PIEPS BACKUP!

SOFTWARE UPDATE

Every PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT can be tested and updated with the latest PIEPS firmware. With your safety in mind our R&D team is constantly working, on improving the firmware to reflect and incorporate all our experiences in the field. Every new firmware is developed to be compatible with any PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT. You can have your PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT checked and its firmware updated at every PIEPS Service Center and PIEPS distributor.

How can you display your firmware?

IMPORTANT! During a longer time of no use (e.g. summer) the batteries have to be removed from the PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT. Damages because of leaked batteries are not included in the warranty.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and PIEPS Auto-Antenna-Switch:

All beacons are very sensitive against electrical and magnetic interferences. Due to this, it's a recommendation from all manufacturers that minimum distances should be maintained between avalanche beacons and electronic, magnetic or metallic influences (like radios, mobile phones, MP3-players, bunch of keys)!

PIEPS recommends: Minimum distance in SEND-mode: 20 cm | SEARCH-mode: 50 cm

Your PIEPS DSP PRO/DSP SPORT has an Auto-Antenna-Switch included:

If there is an external influence the strongest antenna will begin transmitting. Further information can be found in the chapter "Intelligent Transmitter".
