Mammut: Barryvox firmware update

New BarryHeart 3.4 firmware improves battery detection and analog mode

by PowderGuide 10/21/2020
Mammut offers a firmware upgrade for Barryvox and Barryvox S avalanche transceivers: BarryHeart 3.4. The upgrade can be carried out in service centers or from device to device if the new firmware has already been installed on a device.

It is generally advisable to keep the software and firmware of your own avalanche transceiver up to date and to carry out updates offered by the manufacturer. With Mammut Barryvox devices, the current firmware version appears at the bottom right of the display when the device is switched on. Mammut updates can be carried out at Service or Avalanche Safety Centers (=selected sports stores). If you have a device that already has the new firmware, for example because a friend has already taken it to a service center, you can also use this device to update other devices yourself.

According to the manufacturer, the new version of BarryHeart offers the following new features:

Alternative search mode (Barryvox S):

Improved sound quality and optimized resolution of the amplifier stages for reliable differentiation of the avalanche transceivers in the analogue "sound check". The alternative search mode shows the distance and direction to the avalanche transceiver with the strongest signal and reproduces the analog search tone. It is mainly used when it is no longer possible to reliably distinguish between several buried victims in standard mode. Counting the number of different tone sequences gives the number of buried victims and forms the basis of the analog "sound check".

Battery capacity display:

Optimized battery detection and support of alkaline batteries with high output voltage (> 1.5 V per LR03-AAA cell) for an optimized display of the battery capacity of alkaline and lithium (Barryvox S) batteries, even at low temperatures.

Service software:

Optimization of the W-Link communication protocol for a stable connection of Barryvox devices with the Service Portal. The service software enables wireless communication with a wide range of Barryvox devices and simplifies their management, configuration and upgrade.

Performance Boost:

  • Optimized signal detection of transmitters that transmit outside of the standard period duration

  • Improved signal analysis in complex search scenarios with long-lasting signal overlays or transmitters with continuous tone carriers

  • Improved structure of the buried list for transmitters with continuous tone carriers
