Mammut Barryvox S Avalanche Transceiver

BOARDWORKS BREAKDOWN: 

The Barryvox has been a staple of avalanche safety since the very beginning of beacon technology. Needless to say, Mammut has put in years of experience, research, and design to make an exceptionally dependable avalanche transceiver. 

Manufacturer Description:

Digital/analog combo device with three antennas. The new Barryvox® S has a large receiving bandwidth and an effective search strip width of 70 meters. It offers users a large, simple interface and intuitive operation. The Smart Search function provides clear instructions thanks to a simple operating concept and quick, precise searching. The Barryvox® S includes the Rescue SEND function to protect non-searching rescuers. In the event of a secondary avalanche, the device automatically switches to SEND in order to locate buried rescuers. The Barryvox® S is also equipped with a Smart Search function, which interacts with the actions of searching rescuers.

Features

• 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
