Beacon package Pieps Set Powder Sport Blue

.The ARVA pack Pieps Set Powder Sport is made up of essential off-piste safety equipment. It includes a Powder BT avalanche transceiver, a T640 Telescopic shovel and an ALU 260 Sport probe.

Pieps Powder BT avalanche transceiver

The Pieps Powder Bt avalanche transceiver is an intuitive, high-performance device with a maximum range of 60 m. As soon as it's switched on, it performs a self-check that verifies the various hardware elements as well as the correct operation of the on-board software. With the Group Check mode, it tests an entire group at the start of output to ensure that all devices are operational. This is done with a limited range to detect only nearby devices. Once the checks have been carried out, simply store the Pieps DVA in its neoprene holster, worn very comfortably on a shoulder strap, close to you.

What to do in the event of an avalanche?

If a person becomes trapped in an avalanche, you need to go into search mode. To do this, simply unlock the safety button marked with a padlock and push the right button. The LCD screen displays direction and distance to guide you to the victim. As soon as the victim is identified, a picto silhouette of the person buried under the snow is displayed. In a context of multiple burials, several pictos are displayed, indicating each victim.

The Pieps Powder Bt benefits from the Auto-Search-to-Send function, which automatically switches the DVA from search mode to transmit mode, if you don't move for a certain period of time. This function is very useful if, in the event of an over-avalanche, you are buried in your turn.

The Powder Bt runs on 3 AAA batteries for a claimed autonomy of 300 h. It can also be powered by 3 lithium batteries (not supplied).

To acquire in-depth knowledge of avalanche prevention and have a perfect command of your equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe), Glisshop recommends you take a training course with ANENA (Association Nationale pour l'Étude de la Neige et des Avalanches). You can also get in touch with the French federation of alpine clubs, with whom you can also take mountain first aid training and regular avalanche victim search training.
