4.5 HELPFUL PIEPS BACKGROUND FEATURES
4.5.1 PIEPS iPROBE-Support
Beacons with iPROBE-support* get automatically deactivated when probing with the electronic probe PIEPS
iPROBE. This prevents signal overlaps and the next-strongest signal is automatically shown on the display of the
receiving beacon. Maximum support in multiple burials!
• At beacons with software version 1.1 or lower the PIEPS iPROBE support is activated automatically.
• At beacons with software version 2.0 or higher the PIEPS iPROBE support is disabled by default and can
be enabled in the PIEPS APP device manager.
* Beacons with iPROBE-Support: PRO BT/POWDER BT, PIEPS MICRO BT sensor/button/RACE, PIEPS DSP SPORT,
PIEPS DSP PRO/PRO ICE, PIEPS DSP STANDARD/TOUR ≥ v5.0, PIEPS FREERIDE, BLACK DIAMOND
GUIDE/RECON.
External interference and distance recommendations
All beacons are very sensitive to electrical and magnetic sources of interference. Due to this, all manufacturers
recommend keeping a minimum distance from electronic, magnetic and metallic sources of interference (mobile
phone, radio, keys, magnetic closures, smart watches, heated gloves, electronic airbags, etc.):
Minimum distance in send mode: 20 cm | Minimum distance in search mode: 50 cm
4.5.2 Secondary avalanche | Auto-Search-to-Send
Auto-search-to-send, or `Auto-revert’ mode, provides an additional layer of protection
against secondary avalanche scenarios. By default, it is disabled and can be enabled in
the PIEPS APP device manager. Once enabled, the device switches from search mode to
send mode automatically after a certain time without movement (burial).
An activated AR function is shown
clearly on the display: the
transmitting symbol alternates with
AR.
The AR-function provides the following characteristics:
• Motion-controlled initialization
• Short switching timeout
• Long warning phase with alert and countdown prior to switching
• Continued alert, also after switching
With auto revert enabled, while in search mode and after the predetermined time without motion, the
transceiver will begin the auto revert process. As shown below, a countdown with an associated sound will
begin. If at any time during the countdown the mark button is pressed, the clock will be reset and the
