PIEPS DSP - product advantages
MARK
MARK
The optimized multiple search - the absolute highlight of the PIEPS DSP - is based on a signal separation by the Digital Signal Processor (DSP). A multiple avalanche disaster is clearly displayed to the user by the number of symbols. Once the position of the first victim has been located, the unit should be kept still and the MARK button being pressed for approx. 3 seconds.

- locate first burial
- suppress with MARK
- next strongest signal
- locate second burial
- suppress with MARK
- next strongest signal

How can you display your firmware?
Every transceiver (since 2003) can be updated annually with the latest PIEPS firmware!* In ordinary of your safety, our R&D team is permanently working on improvements of the device firmware, which reflects all our experiences from the outdoor practice. Taking into account tremendous efforts for maintaining every single PIEPS-DSP beacons we’ve ever sold, we now proudly presents the latest firmware release for your High-End digital avalanche beacon PIEPS-DSP with the following innovations:

iProbe Support
As an avalanche probe with integrated digital technology, the PIEPS iPROBE Carbon is a world novelty. It provides a hit and proximity reading for every standard beacon transmitter and enables a brief deactivation of the detected transmitter (for transceivers with iPROBE support).
When the tip of the probe is about 2 meters from the transmitting beacon, the first acoustic signal is given (Piep_Piep_) and the LED lights up. At a distance of about 50 cm a continuous sound (Piiiiiiiiiep) is emitted and the LED remains continuously on.
If the transmitting beacon supports the iPROBE function, the rescuer 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 (>50 cm), the deactivated transmitting beacon is activated once more.
digital range
Outstanding digital range – all around in all directions!
Ranges previously only known from analog beacons are reached now for the first time by the PIEPS DSP (DSP= Digital Signal Processor) using digital filter technology.
One of the main targets of the PIEPS development team was a best possible “useful range”. All other beacons available on the market feature a more or less elliptical receiver range, that means different range in different orientation of the receiver antenna in relation to the position of the transmitter. (best range with antennas “face to face”, worst range usually if antennas are angled by 90°). Furthermore the international standard for avalanche beacons EN 300718 allows a frequency deviation of the transmitted signal of +/- 80 Hz.In case of most other receivers a decrease of range is the result.
For practical use two facts are important:
- Range in worst coupling position
Receiver range with transmitter signals and the limit of the allowed deviation of +/- 80Hz - The PIEPS DSP was optimized in terms of “circular receiver rang” (same range in all antenna orientations) and constant receiver rangeover the whole frequency range.
3-antennas
First 3-antenna beacon on the market. Extremely accuratelocating , irrespective of the position and depth of the buried person!
The PIEPS DSP is the first avalanche beacon using a 3-antenna system! The three dimensional system works especially in the near proximity especially in deep burial situations and eliminates the influence of the inclined flux lines. The PIEPS DSP allows exact pinpointing. Independent to the antenna-orientation and burial depth always only one maxima is indicated, corresponding to the point of lowest distance reading. Any confusion in the stressful situation in the event of an avalanche search has been eliminated by the to-date unique operating technique of the DSP. This means saving valuable time!
Dim lights
Smart Transmitter
The Smart Transmitter becomes a life saving advantage in an emergency!!
The smart transmitter is using a receiver simultaneously in order to detect signals of other beacons nearby. Transmitter signals are synchronized in relation to others and are transmitted right in between the signals of other beacons.
- No more signal overlapping!
- The smart transmitter is a great advantage in case of multiple burial search!
- Faster and even more accurate location of avalanche victims by using the smart transmitter!

Two different transmitters A(blue) and B(cyan) are received by the receiver (magenta) like one single signal. Caused by the different periods of the signals A and B periodical interferences are initiated. A clear signal isolation of the received signals will no longer be possible because of possible modulation and annihilation.

ransmitter signal A of the smart transmitter is synchronized and positioned in between the signals of transmitter B in order to avoid signal overlap!
