Pieps Jetforce BT 10 Airbag

The Pieps Jetforce BT 10 Airbag the smallest bag from the Pieps Jetforce range. This avalanche airbag uses the Jetforce System which works entirely from batterie powerd jet fan. After the airbag is filled, it's regularly re-filled to prevent deflation if there are any small tears in the material.

It's activated via a release button which also shows the battery status when switched on. It can be released four times per battery charge, so you have a chance to test it before taking your trip.

Weighing only 2840 g and made of exceptionally lightweight material, the BT 10 offers exceptional strength and durability, this bag is ideal for off-piste skiers looking to minimise extra weight.

Bluetooth connectivity allows for easy software and system updates via the Pieps app on your smartphone. You can also update your Pieps or Black Diamond Beacon via the same app.

Jetforce Technology:

A revolution in airbag technology, JetForce provides an added margin of safety to your avalanche tool kit.

The Jetforce is the first Avalanche Safety technology to use jet-fan inflation. This is a state-of-the-art system that draws air from the unlimited source of the atmosphere.

The Jetforce avalanche airbag system is dramatically improved for ease of use and performance over traditional compressed gas cylinder systems.

Battery-Powered jet-fan inflates the Airbag in 3.5 seconds, and then the 200L Airbag automatically deflates after 3 minutes to create an air pocket to aid in extraction.

Jetforce’s repackable airbag and fully rechargeable electronics system provide zero-cost user practice and travel-friendly performance.

The redesigned JetForce is not built into a backpack, it offers interchangeable booster systems in 10 litre, 25 litre and 35 litre capacity. 

• New Jetforce Airbag Technology 2.0: What are the main differences?

Activation of Airbag:

When wearing your Pieps Jetforce BT 10 Airbag, make sure all straps are securely fastened and the system successfully is armed; the LED will be showing a pulsing green light. The airbag can now be deployed.

1. Grasp the Deployment Handle and firmly pull downwards to open the Release Flap that covers the airbag and turn the fan on.

2. The airbag will begin to Deploy Immediately. The fan will run at Full Power For 9 Seconds, followed by lower speed operation and Short Refilling Bursts for 3 minutes.

3. The airbag will deflate after 3 minutes and then automatically switch back to armed mode.

4. To interrupt the inflation/deflation process after the initial 9 second deployment period and return to armed mode, Press and hold the red Power button for approximately 5 seconds.

Airbag Filling Time:

Fan timing is controlled by the electronics, here is how it cycles:

• 0-9 seconds - Mandatory Fill: During the first 3.5 seconds, the airbag fills 100%. For the next 5.5 seconds, the system continues to run at full speed for safety redundancy.

• 10-60 seconds - Active Performance: The system pulses between full speed and 50% speed. Since this is the most likely time to be carried by the avalanche, it is most critical to maintain full volume and recover from any possible tears.

• 61-180 seconds - Volume Maintenance: The system has 20s stand-by intervals between 3s full speed refilling pulses. The goal is to maintain the volume to aid in visibility and meet CE timing requirements.

• 181 seconds - Active Deflation: After 3 total minutes, the bag will automatically deflate. If partially or completely buried, this has the potential to create a large volume of air for breathing and/or extraction. If unburied, this simply helps repack the airbag quicker.

Size Guide:

To effectively measure your back size you will need to get someone to measure from your lower back to below the neck where the spine has a lump; which can often be seen or felt. Use the size guide image on the product to calculate your size

The Advantages Of The Jetforce:

Easy air travel, little to no restrictions on the batteries as they’re no different than laptop batteries.

As many practice deployments as you desire, battery good for 1 to 6 full inflations depending on temperature and age, the battery is rechargeable.

No hassle with canisters.

Slightly lighter in weight than compressed gas offerings.

Automatic deflation cycle can possibly create airspace around the head in the event of a burial.

Specific to Black Diamond & Pieps design, airbag stuff-stows loosely after use, pack it in minutes with no folding necessary.

The fan is set to cycle on periodically during 3 minute inflation period per CE standards, this can overcome up to 7-inch tear in the fabric.
