SWITCHING ON | SELF-CHECK
To switch on the PIEPS iPROBE BT go through these steps:
•
Open the elastic closure buckle (1C).
•
Eject the PIEPS iPROBE BT into soft ground (snow) and tension the probe. To do so, hold the top part of
the probe tube with one hand and with the other hand pull the probe handle (1A) until the quick-closing
latch (1B) clicks into place and a beep from the loudspeaker (1H) indicates that the PIEPS iPROBE BT is
switched on.
4.2.1 Self-check
When switching on the PIEPS iPROBE BT an extensive self-check is performed, and all relevant system
components are tested.

Switching on Continuous tone for 1 s (piiiiiiiiiiep)
Self
-check
Self-check
„OK“
Both LEDs lit GREEN for 1 second No acoustic signal
Self-check
„ Low battery
capacity “
Both LEDs flash RED for 3 seconds Warning tone for 3 seconds (5x piiiep),
see Replacing the battery
Self-check
„ System error “
Both LEDs lit RED as long as the PIEPS
iPROBE BT is switched on
Warning tone for 3 seconds (5x piiiep),
see Troubleshooting
•
If the PIEPS iPROBE BT is OK (self-check “OK”), a green LED -light lits for 1 second . The LED-light of the
Check A1 then starts flashing and the PIEPS iPROBE BT can be used.
•
If the battery needs to be replaced (low battery capacity self-check), a red flashing LED light and an
acoustic warning signal will be indicated for 3 seconds.
The LED-light of the Check A1 then starts flashing
and the PIEPS iPROBE BT can be used. In this case, replace the battery.
•
If the PIEPS iPROBE BT shows an error (system error self-test), a permanent red LED-light and an acoustic
warning signal will be indicated for 3 seconds. The optical warning will continue as long as the PIEPS
iPROBE BT is activated. The electronic functionalities are not available. In this case, perform
troubleshooting.
NOTICE If the PIEPS iPROBE BT is defect (system error self-check), no electronic functionalities are available,
and any electronic support will lapse. In this case, use the PIEPS iPROBE BT like a classic avalanche
probe.
NOTICE The switching on of the electronic is confirmed with an acoustic (Piep-tone) signal.
Continuous signal for 1 second (piiiiiiiiiiep)
