Pieps Pro IPS Transceiver Sneak Peek - VIDEO
Pieps has a new transceiver coming to the North American market for the 2023/24 skis season and it looks to be a game changer.The new Pieps Pro IPS or Interference Protection System Transceiver provides stable transmission and search performance thanks to its Dual Antenna Signal Processing (DASP) technology. The Interference Protection System reduces the influence of interference in transmit mode and DASP enables unprecedented signal stability during search through simultaneous signal processing of the X and Y antennas. This ensures a more precise localization of the transmitted signal, effective elimination of ghost signals and an extremely reliable and stable direction indication. The Pro IPS is Piep’s most advanced avalanche beacon with an impressive 80m search strip width. It sets a new standard with its industry-leading transmit and search performance.
IPS or Interference Protection System is a unique technology that compensates for the influence of electronic and metallic interference to the transmitting device by analyzing and adapting to the interfering source. In case of emergency, users of the PIEPS PRO IPS are better protected against interferences from personal items which could minimize the transmitting power.
Other features include:
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 specific distance intervals.
Victim Selection
Create a situation-optimized search strategy! In detailed SCAN mode, the transceiver displays the 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 use 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 (the 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 the device is in the 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.
