Why Take an Avalanche Safety Training (AST) Course
Practicing With Your Avalanche Rescue Gear: 4 Core Skills
The‚ Mammut Barryvox S Avalanche Transceiver is a high-end, fully-featured avalanche transceiver. It has a large receiving bandwidth and operates an effective search strip width of 70 meters. The Smart Search functionality provides clear instructions thanks to its simple operating concepts and precise searching. The‚ Mammut Barryvox S Avalanche Transceiver is designed with advanced backcountry users in mind so if you are getting out in the mountains a lot, this beacon could be the unit for you.
Features
- 70 meter search strip width. Easy operation. The Barryvox S ranks among the world's top avalanche transceivers.
- The most important innovation in the Barryvox S: easy operation. No compromises when it comes to safety.
- Simple concept. Quick and precise search: intuitive operation of the Barryvox S. Because in an emergency situation, this device's performance will be useful only if you can operate it almost with your eyes closed.
- W-Link: Additional communication channel for improved search performance
- Auto guidance: device continues to guide the rescuer to the buried subject in the event of signal failures or overlaps
- Automatic switching from send to search (Auto Revert): if a rescuer does not move for 4 minutes, we assume a secondary avalanche and the device switches to SEND mode (motion-sensor controlled)
- Personalization: start screen and user texts (for example, owner information) can be personalized
- Buried subjects can be selected from a list, marked (MARK) and unmarked (UNMARK)
- Visual interface: shows distance, direction and number of buried subjects
- Group test with clear instructions
- Vital data: 3D sensor helps the rescuer concentrate his or her resources on the buried subjects with the highest chance of survival
- Design: ergonomic, impact-proof and break-proof. Can be operated while wearing gloves
- Smart search interacts with rescuer`s action during the search, making searching simpler and more reliable
- Circular receiving field: almost identical receiving range for X and Y antennas
- Operating temperature: -25‚ ° to +45‚ ° Celsius (-13‚ ° to +113‚ ° Fahrenheit)
- Manage the device fleet via W-Link
- Extended search range: extended receiving bandwidth (analog): up to 95 m; Extended search strip width (analog): 100 m
- Display: display with background lighting, very easy to read even when wearing polarized glasses
- Digital receiving range: 70 meters
- Device tests: automatic self-test and function test
- Reverse direction function to avoid 180-degree search errors
- Acoustic search guidance: allows the rescuer to visually search the avalanche field
- Multiple buried subjects: digital signal processing in the event of several buried subjects
- Attachment: includes highly functional Barryvox carrying system
- Effective digital search strip width: 70 meters
- Rescue SEND: Protective function for non-searching rescuers. In the event of a secondary avalanche it automatically switches to SEND to allow the rescuer to be located
- Advanced search settings: individually configurable search settings: pro search, acoustic and visual guidance; automatic switching from search to send (Auto Revert)
- Lithium-enabled: also works with lithium batteries: Less risk of leakage. More stable in low temperatures. Longer battery life (350 hours SEND)
- Alternative search mode (analog mode) helps in resolving demanding search scenarios
- updatable software
