If Check A3 (active transmitter nearby) is confirmed, the PIEPS iPROBE
ONE is switching into check-mode B. The PIEPS iPROBE ONE deacti-
vates within 8 seconds the strongest transmitting signal EN300718 of
all beacons with iPROBE ONE Support*.
* Beacons with iPROBE ONE Support: PIEPS VECTOR, PIEPS DSP (with
Software Version 5.0 or greater), PIEPS DSP Tour, PIEPS FREERIDE
aCoUSTIC SIGNaL:
5 short Beep-signals
(piep-piep-piep-piep-piep – – – piep-piep-piep-piep-piep...)
The next strongest signal is automatically shown on the display of the
receiving beacon. As long as the PIEPS iPROBE ONE is nearby the
transmitting beacon, the transmitting beacon is deactivated. If the
probe is used to probe for a second transmitter, the first transmitting
beacon is activated and starts to transmit again.
As soon as the PIEPS iPROBE ONE receives the new transmitting si-
gnal, the iPROBE ONE switches immediately and automatically back
to check-mode A.
If the transmitting beacon has no iPROBE ONE support, the iPROBE
ONE remains in CHECK A3.
A victim has the best chance of being rescued if the largest possible
number of companions in a given group have not been buried and
work efficiently as a team to search and rescue their companion. In
the event of an accident, the most important considerations are STAY
CALM, OBSERVE, and RAISE THE ALARM.
(2) Determine the search area and last point seen:
How many victims are buried? Are there several companions
ready to engage in rescue? The most experienced person
takes over assignment and management.
(2) Call emergency services:
Dial 112 (EU) if this is possible without losing time.
(3) establish search areas:
Where are the probable burial locations?
(4) Visual Sweep Search:
Search for the avalanche cone with your eyes and ears.
(5) Search with avalanche transceiver:
Switch off non-searching avalanche transceivers.
(6)
Depth measurement:
Check the search results.
Leave probe in place. Deactivate the avalanche
transceiver using iPROBE by means of iPROBE Support.
(7) Dig:
Start digging at a distance from the probe equal to
the indicated depth of burial. Dig over a large area. Watch
out for any breathing cavity (air pocket) by the victim.
(8) Rescue and first aid:
First clear the face and airways.
Protect from cold.
IMporTANT!
Ensure that, during search, there are no electronic
devices (e.g. mobile phones, radio equipment etc.) or massive metal
items in the immediate vicinity. The fundamental rules for the procedure
in the event of an accident, in line with relevant technical publications
and material from avalanche training courses, must be complied with.

CHeCK-MoDe A – TArGeT INDICATIoN
The PIEPS iPROBE ONE detects an active transmitter according the
standard EN300718. The target indication is working with every
standard beacon.
Check a1 – no transmitter is nearby: permanent acoustic signal
(tschip__tschip__tschip_...)
Check a2 – active transmitter is nearby (approx. 0,5 to 2 m):
permanent acoustic signal with the transmitter bit timing (piep_piep_
piep_...)
Check a3 – active transmitter is nearby (< approx. 50 cm):
permanent optical and acoustic signal (piiiiiiiiiiiep)
