Mammut Barryvox S2 Avalanche Beacon

The Barryvox S2 is the new top of the line Avalanche Beacon from Mammut. Its new compact design is stacked with improved features to continue to keep you safe when in avalanche terrain.

The Barryvox S2 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.

Whilst searching, the Barryvox S2 now features Voice Guidance to bolster the Interactive Search Guidance. This helps to minimise complication and make the process of rescue simpler to follow and less likely to be impacted by the stress of the situation.  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.

All new Bluetooth app connectivity makes updating firmware a breeze and makes changing settings quicker and easier. As well as keeping Barryvox search training, an extended user manual, and the knowledge base at your fingertips.

The Barryvox S2 is the flagship of the range and has very real improvements over the regular Barryvox 2, though for casual users, the Barryvox 2 is also a solid choice. The S2 is a lighter and smaller device, with a larger MIP display that improves battery life and improved display clarity, and has a longer battery run time.

Features:

• Intelligent fine search guidance: patented technology that guides you through the fine search with fully interactive visual and acoustic guidance.
  Probe indication: as soon as the minimum burial depth has been found, the probe display guides you visually from the fine search to pinpointing.
• MIP display: the high-contrast and innovative Memory-in-Pixel display is clear and easy to read even in bright sunlight.
• Rescue SEND: 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-revert to SEND: safety function for rescuers searching with an avalanche transceiver in the event of a secondary avalanche burial. If a rescuer does not move for four minutes, the avalanche transceiver automatically switches from SEARCH to SEND thanks to a motion sensor.
• Automatic self test: your Barryvox® checks your transmit and search function signal when it is switched on and carries out regular transmission and battery tests.
• Interference Guard: your Barryvox® manages and reduces signal interference and indicates any interference in transmit and search mode.
• Group check: check the transmission frequency and strength of other avalanche transceivers quickly and easily with this function to ensure correct functionality.
• Acoustic search guidance: a sequence of tones guides you in the direction of the buried subject and ensures that you can keep your eyes on the avalanche field during the search.
• Intuitive visual interface: guides you intuitively through all search phases and provides an overview of multiple burials.
• Auto-Select: in the event of multiple burials, your Barryvox® will guide you to the strongest signal first.
• Marking function for multiple burials
• Reverse direction function avoids 180-degree search errors
• Deep burial mode: if a very deep burial is detected, the fine search automatically starts earlier (> 3m) for precise guidance.
• Compatible with the Barryvox app for firmware updates, configuration settings, search training with the Barryvox®
• Barryvox carrying system (included in delivery): safe and comfortable wearing of the avalanche transceiver on the upper body.
• Additional functions for advanced users: discover all the possibilities of the Barryvox® S2 with the alternative search mode and individually configurable settings, which let you retain flexibility and control in every search scenario.
• Analog search technology: the extended analog function for more efficient and accurate searches helps to solve complex search scenarios thanks to complex algorithms and signal processing techniques.
• Pro Check: in this mode the transmit frequency, the pulse duration and the period lengths of other avalanche transceivers are checked.
• Pro search settings: combines a digital direction and distance display with an analog tone in the standard search mode and allows access to the alternative search mode.
• Configurable settings for acoustic guidance, visual guidance, Pro Test, vital data detection and time-out definition for rescue send and automatic switching from search to send.
• Scrolling function for multiple burials: gives a clear overview of up to 16 buried subjects for more efficient group searches and triage decisions.
  Selection function for multiple burials: in the case of multiple burials, burials can be selected, marked and unmarked on a list.
• Marking for deep burials up to a distance of 6m
• Additional Bluetooth channel: enables faster separation of signals in complicated rescue scenarios.
• BT vital data detection: the vital data transmitted via Bluetooth helps rescuers to make triage decisions in order to focus on buried subjects with an increased chance of survival.
• Compatible with lithium batteries (550h battery life in SEND)
