Pieps Pro IPS Tranceiver

The PIEPS PRO IPS is a state-of-the-art avalanche transceiver for professionals and ambitious ski tourers. Thanks to IPS technology, it minimises the effects of interference in send mode and ensures a particularly stable signal transmission. With a search strip width of 80 meters, Dual Antenna Signal Processing for maximum precision and practical functions such as Scan mode, Auto Search-to-Send and Ghost Signal Elimination, it sets new standards in avalanche safety. Its robust design, long battery life and Bluetooth connectivity make it an indispensable companion in alpine terrain.

Features: 

• DUAL ANTENNA SIGNAL PROCESSING: The already leading signal tracking quality of PIEPS has been increased even further with the PIEPS PRO IPS.
• The PIEPS PRO IPS processes the signal simultaneously on the X and Y antenna, which is a unique innovation among avalanche transceivers. This ensures an even more precise localisation of the transmitted signal, effective elimination of
• ghost signals and a very high range. Thus, users see upon the very first signal, an extremely reliable and stable direction indication. 
• SCAN FUNCTION: Keep track of everything! This feature provides a quick overview of the situation in a multiple burial situation and displays the number of buried persons in a specific distance intervals.
• VICTIM SELECTION: Create a situation-optimised search strategy! In detailed SCAN mode, the transceiver displays direction and distance for each burial 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 shows the steepness of the terrain.
• ADVANCED SEARCH CONTROL: Visual, acoustic and haptic support during the search. Prompts for reversal in case of wrong direction approach (180° error).
• AUTO ANTENNA SWITCH: Always uses the antenna with the strongest signal.
• GHOST SIGNAL ELIMINATION: PIEPS’ sophisticated signal verification only displays signals from avalanche beacons and no “ghost signals” from other sources.
• AUTO SEARCH-TO-SEND: In the event of a secondary avalanche, the avalanche beacon automatically switches from search to send after a certain period of inactivity (motion sensor does not register movement).
• DEEP BURIAL RECOGNITION: The PRO IPS is capable of detecting and indicating deep burials over 2m.
• BACKUP MODE: Backup Mode is intended for rescuers in passive search tasks, like probing or shovelling. Here, the Backup Mode mutes the “SEND” signal when device is in SEND position so other searchers can focus on the signal of the buried victim. Transmitting (sending) automatically resumes when no movement is detected for a predetermined time (the Auto-Revert timeout), preceded by a 30 second countdown.
