THE HISTORY OF PIEPS

 

In 1972 the PIEPS team began the development of avalanche beacons that could help victims and rescuers alike overcome the challenges presented by snow on the slopes. Seidel Elektronik designed and introduced the first avalanche beacon into the market which featured innovative safety measures for avalanche victims. These avalanche beacons would greatly increase the chances of survival.

 

Since 1972, PIEPS has been introducing new avalanche safety products into the market fitted with the latest technology. As the PIEPS company has evolved so too has the analogue technology evolved into the new digital DSP technology.

 

In 2003, Seidel Elektronik and “FH Joanneum” in Kapfenberg designed and promoted latest avalanche beacon, the PIEPS DSP, in order to find buried avalanche victims. This avalanche beacon exceeds all past models with its swift search speed when locating multiple avalanche victims.

 

In the year 2007, following the success of the previous product concepts, Seidel set up the PIEPS GmbH company to ensure the production of superior equipment and leading technology.

 

Later, in 2008, a lightweight transceiver called the PIEPS FREERIDE was introduced into the market. This transceiver is as small as a mobile phone. After that, avalanche rescue products like the PIEPS Carbon Probe, PIEPS Aluminium Probe and PIEPS iPROBE were introduced into the market.

 

PIEPS TRANSCEIVERS    

 

PIEPS TRANSCEIVERS are renowned tracking devices used in avalanche detection. PIEPS TRANSCEIVERS such as PIEPS DSP & PIEPS Freeride are digital transceivers designed to eliminate some of the drawbacks posed by analogue transceivers and help find a buried victim regardless of their position.

 

PIEPS DSP

An avalanche victim can be identified and saved with the help of PIEPS DSP. The MARK & SCAN functions help the user to locate multiple avalanche victims if necessary.

 

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

 

PIEPS DSP MARK & SCAN FUNCTIONS (Finding Multiple Avalanche Victims)        

SCAN

The above diagram represents the working of PIEPS DSP in finding the avalanche victims.

Step one: Transceiver points out the victim within 5m

Step two: Transceiver finds another victim at a range of 20m

Step three: Transceiver finds the third victim within 50m radius

This PIEPS DSP specialises in finding the multiple avalanche victims.

 

MARK

 

 

The above diagram represents the working of PIEPS DSP. When the SEARCH button is on, the transceiver starts locating avalanche victims.

 
Step one: Transceiver indicates the three burials

Step two: Transceiver finds the first burial

Step three: Checks with MARK

Step four: Finding the next avalanche victim signal

Step five: Transceiver finds the second signal

Step six: Checks with MARK

Step seven: Finding the next avalanche victim signal

Step Eight: Transceiver finds the third signal

 

PIEPS FREERIDE

 

This lightweight beacon is as small as mobile phone. PIEPS FREERIDE helps to find avalanche victims and it's the smallest transceiver ever.
