Test item Pieps Avalanche rescue set Powder BT + shovel T640 + probe ALU 260 Sport
Product description
Set contains DSP, shovel and probe.
Pieps Powder BT is a high-performance avalanche beacon outfitted with all the features needed for fast, accurate searches in the event of a slide. The redesigned housing features soft-touch contact points for improved handling. With built-in Bluetooth technology, you can connect it to your smartphone to check for the latest firmware updates, battery status, and other processes, while at the same time choose between many burial simulations to practice your search capabilities. An extensive self-check function lets the beacon review all relevant hardware and software elements as well as showing the current software version. It has perfect Mark-Performance due to exact signal processing without any performance losses. 3 antennas allow exact fine search in a maximum circular range of 60 meters. The Pieps Interference Protection technology eliminates the influence of external interferences or reduces them to a minimum: Protection in send mode with Auto-Antenna-Switch - if the transmitting antenna is impacted by external interference, the other antenna would take over the transmit function; Protection in search mode with Signal Verification - only a verified 457kHz signal is indicated. The most impressive safety feature is the AUTO-SEARCH-TO-SEND function that automatically switches the PIEPS MICRO BT button from search mode to transmit mode if the beacon is not moving for a certain time (in case of burial). The included harness-style carrying pouch provides comfortable, streamlined storage and fast removal for beacon practice and emergency response.
The Powder BT is the go-to beacon for serious backcountry travelers.

Probe Pieps Alu 260 Sport:
PIEPS Alu 260 Sport is an avalanche probe with a new design that can be assembled extremely quickly and easily - two key factors in the situation in which you will need the probe. It is equipped with a Pieps safety marker at 40 cm and at 100 cm, with which the depth of the buried casualty can be determined more precisely. The probe is also equipped with a measuring scale along its entire length, which can be used to determine the thickness of the snow blanket. The quick-lock system provides a reliable lock of the probe when assembled. The Speed-Cone system allows you to assemble the probe in a matter of seconds with a single pull of the cord. The probe is assembled using a system of telescopic rods, which makes it take up relatively little space when disassembled. The elastic buckle will come in handy when you are carrying it in your backpack, as it makes sure it stays firmly closed and in place.
The Pieps Probe Alu 260 Sport is an indispensable component of any touring ski/snowboard backpack as it will help shave off valuable seconds when rescuing a person from an avalanche.
