REMDSP01Avalanche Beacon

Main switchOFF-SEND-SEARCH Lock LCD-Display (back light) Button OPTIONS Button SCAN Button MARK Richtungsanzeige Number display Battery level Number of burials Compass Altimeter Temperatur Dear winter sports enthusiast, DSP DSP Congratulations on having purchased a PIEPS avalanche rescue beacon !100,000 skiers world-wide testify to the quality of this brand, which has beenon the market for nearly 30 years. During this time, PIEPS beacons haveundergone constant improvement. The device you have chosen is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment. Enhanced by the latest technology (= signal processing with a igital ignal rocessor) and a triple-antenna system, it notonly offers an exceptional range but also greatly simplifies the rescueprocedure, even in case of multiple victims.IMPORTANT: Even the PIEPS-DSP beacon cannot protect you againstavalanches. A close study of avalanche prevention techniques is equallyessential, as is regular practising for the eventuality of an avalancherescue. Carrying harnessThe PIEPS DSP can be worn directly on your person using the suppliedcarrying system. Pass the snap hook of the safety cord through the carrypouch and attach it to the loop on the rear of the pouch (=safest option).Alternatively, the PIEPS DSP can be attached to the belt of your ski trousers viathe belt loop, or can be carried in your trouser pocket with or without theprotective pouch. Always make sure, however, that the safety cord is suitablyattached to an eyelet on your clothing to avoid losing the detector.IMPORTANT: The PIEPS DSP should be worn as close as possible to thebody, and under as many layers of clothing as possible ! 1. PRESS 2. MOVE LIGHT Battery / switching on / SEND modeIMPORTANT: Only use battery type LR03/AAA and always replace all 3batteries with new ones of the same type. Never use rechargeablebatteries and always change all batteries at the same time!Depress the main switch lock and push the main switch to the “SEND“ position.In this mode, the PIEPS DSP will carry out a self-test lasting approx. 5 seconds.You will then see the send symbol and the remaining % battery voltage in thedisplay. The LED will also flash synchronously with the transmitter bit timing.In the event of a device error, a 5-second warning tone sounds. This means thedevice is not fit for operation. In this case, contact our customer servicedepartment.When in the open, make sure the “SEND” mode is selected throughout. ThePIEPS DSP will then transmit continuously any signal it picks up from otherdetectors.IMPORTANT: When switched on, a complex self-testing is done by thebeacon itself, nevertheless a LVS-check stronlgy recommended inpreperation to each tour !The battery compartment is located at the rear of the housing. The safety screwconnection can be easily opened and closed using a coin. 3 x PRESS Degree + Degree - End End Meter + Meter - End Temperature Bearing compass Compass Altimeter Beacon with OPTION PACKBy pressing the OPTION switch three times, you can switch from the SEND mode tothe OPTION mode. This enables you to switch between the relevant functions: Temperature displayCompassBearing compass (direction-finding compass with arrow display)Altimeter By holding down the OPTION key (min. 3 seconds), you can switch back to the SENDmode. In the OPTION mode, the device does not transmit any signals, and thereforeswitches back to the SEND mode automatically after two minutes. If the battery is low,it switches back after just 30 seconds. !!! Press SCAN to switch between °C and °F.When new batteries are inserted, the compass has to undergo an internal calibration. This is alsonecessary if the device detects strong temperature variations. To start the calibration, press SCAN(”CAL” flashes). Then rotate the device a full 360°. Finally, press OPTION.You can change the bearing direction with SCAN. Select the flashing bearing by pressing MARK (+)and SCAN (-). To exit, press OPTION. ! You can adapt the altimeter reading to the prevailing air pressure by pressing SCAN. Adjust thedisplayed altitude with MARK (+) and SCAN (-). To set the adjustment to zero, press MARK andSCAN simultaneously. To exit, press OPTION. IMPORTANT: Make sure the device stays connected to the harness via thesafety cord at all times ! Point of impact û Point of disapearnce Flow direction 50m 50m Single rescue person Multiple rescue persons EMERGENCY / SEARCH modeIncase ofan emergency,the key thing toremember is:KEEPCALM,OBSERVE,RAISETHEALARMObserve the course of the avalanche and make an exact mental note of where thevictim was hit by the avalanche (point ofimpact)was last seen (point ofdisappearance) The extension ofthese pointsindicates the flow direction ofthe avalanche !The primary search area is to the left and right of this. When the avalanche stops, themost experienced member of the group takes control of the search, issuinginstructions from the edge of the avalanche so that another person can mark theabove points(with sticks,etc.).Depress the main switch lock and push the main switch to the SEARCH position. Youcan now begin the PRIMARY SEARCH, in which the device will pick up any signalsfrom victims within its range. Now scan the primary search area according to the planon the leftuntil a steady signal is reported. !! IMPORTANT: All participants (including observers) must switch their beaconsto receiving (SEARCH) mode. Always make sure there are no electronic devices(e.g. mobiles, radios,) or solid metal items in the direct vicinity of the search. SEARCH mode / rough searchAs soon as the PIEPS DSP picks up signals, the approximate distance and directionappear in the display. The number of victims within the range of the device isrepresented by matchstickmen.Using the arrow and distance reading, follow the strongest of the received signalsalong the field lines. Move in the direction indicated by the PIEPSDSP:The distance reading should become progressively smaller. If it gets larger, switch thesearch direction by 180°,i.e.turn round…
