Mammut Barryvox S Avalanche Beacon

The Barryvox S is the new top of the line Avalanche Beacon from Mammut. It comes with all of the reliability and performance of the old Mammut Pulse beacon that guides and rescuers have trusted for years. But with the addition of a few key enhancements.

The Barryvox S is a 3 antenna Beacon that is operable in both Digital and Analog modes, giving you more control over how you search. It has a huge receiving bandwidth and allows the user to use larger search strips, up to 70m.

Smart Search is a new function that provides simple, clear instructions to follow for a rescue. It definitely doesn't replace the need for proper training but helps remind you of how quickly you should be moving and what to do next should you forget. It also interacts with other Barryvox S searchers in order to improve group searchability.

While a number of features that differentiate the Barryvox S from the simpler Barryvox are largely for pro-level use. There are a handful of benefits for casual users as well: a bigger screen, Smart Search & dynamic screen icons that step you through a search.

Please note that the Barryvox S beacons that we receive are specific to the US/Canada/NZ, and the W-Link operates on a band specific to those locations that are not suitable for use in Japan or Europe. If you intend on using your Barryvox S in those locations, there are W-Link features that must be turned off. These features do not affect the traditional Search/Send features that operate on a 457 kHz band worldwide.

• Effective digital search strip width: 70 meters
• Digital receiving range: 70 meters
• Extended search range: extended receiving bandwidth (analog): up to 95 m; Extended search strip width (analog): 100 m
• Circular receiving field: almost identical receiving range for X and Y antennas
• Lithium-enabled: also works with lithium batteries: Less risk of leakage. More stable in low temperatures. Longer battery life (350 hours SEND)
• Display: display with background lighting, very easy to read even when wearing polarized glasses
• Acoustic search guidance: allows the rescuer to visually search the avalanche field
• Reverse direction function to avoid 180-degree search errors
• Group test with clear instructions
• Visual interface: shows distance, direction and number of buried subjects
• Design: ergonomic, impact-proof and break-proof. Can be operated while wearing gloves
• Device tests: automatic self-test and function test
• Smart search interacts with rescuer`s action during the search, making searching simpler and more reliable
• Multiple buried subjects: digital signal processing in the event of several buried subjects
• Buried subjects can be selected from a list, marked (MARK) and unmarked (UNMARK)
• Automatic switching from send to search (Auto Revert): if a rescuer does not move for 4 minutes, we assume a secondary avalanche and the device switches to SEND mode (motion-sensor controlled)
• Rescue SEND: a Protective function for non-searching rescuers. In the event of a secondary avalanche it automatically switches to SEND to allow the rescuer to be located
• Auto guidance: device continues to guide the rescuer to the buried subject in the event of signal failures or overlaps
• Vital data: 3D sensor helps the rescuer concentrate his or her resources on the buried subjects with the highest chance of survival
• Advanced search settings: individually configurable search settings: pro search, acoustic and visual guidance; automatic switching from search to send (Auto Revert)
• Alternative search mode (analog mode) helps in resolving demanding search scenarios
• Personalization: start screen and user texts (for example, owner information) can be personalized
• Attachment: includes highly functional Barryvox carrying system
• W-Link: Additional communication channel for improved search performance
• Manage the device fleet via W-Link
• updatable software
• Operating temperature: -25° to +45° Celsius (-13° to +113° Fahrenheit)
