Pieps iProbe 225cm

Pinpointing made easy and precise - The world's first smart avalanche probe integrates digital technology to provide a hit and proximity reading of any standard avalanche beacon.

Pieps iProbe will be available at the end of November 2008.

Pieps iProbe offers indication for approaching and hitting of all standard avalanche transceivers and provides unambiguous optical and acoustical indication in the probe's handle.

The iProbe's integrated digital technology enables a temporary deactivation of a found avalanche transceiver such as Pieps DSP or Pieps FreeRide.

Then the searcher can focus on the next strongest signal. This is a first truly 100% perfect safety solution for multiple avalanche burials!

The first acoustic tone is emitted and the LED illuminates when the tip of the iProbe is about 2 metres from the transmitting avalanche beacon.

At a distance of about 50 cm, a continuous acoustic tone is emitted and the LED remains continuously illuminated.

If the transmitting avalanche beacon supports the iProbe function, the searcher can deactivate it by pressing the MARK button on the probe handle.

By pressing the MARK button again for a longer time or by removing the iProbe tip from the vicinity of the transmitting beacon (more than 50 cm), the deactivated avalanche beacon becomes transmitting again.
