Firmware update for the Barryvox PULSE avalanche transceiver from Mammut

With the new firmware for the Barryvox Pulse, in addition to the usual functions of the previous firmware versions, further functions are enabled or improved and simplified:

• Enhanced initial signal display

• Improved direction display

• Guided fine search (Barryvox Intelligent Search)

Enhanced initial signal displayThe enhanced initial signal display allows the user to transition from signal search to coarse search earlier, thereby reducing the search distance and search time on the avalanche field. Optimized direction display
With the improved direction display, the search arrow on the device display is updated more quickly using a digital compass for optimal directional guidance and display. Guided fine searchThe guided, sound-supported fine search simplifies the outcrossing in the fine search by means of clear direction arrows, in which the direction of travel is shown on the device display depending on the distance and signal information to the buried victim. With the 4.0 firmware, the Barryvox Pulse supports the searcher with directional information regarding search direction changes and the optimum transition from fine search (= cross-out) to sounding (= point search).

The improved device software dynamically adjusts the starting point of the guided fine search to the burial depth; depending on the remaining distance to the buried victim, the device guides the searcher as precisely as possible to the buried victim by means of one or more cross-out processes. The firmware update is free of charge if the avalanche transceiver is sent to the relevant Mammut service centers. It is also possible to install the new device software at Mammut specialist dealers. Depending on goodwill, however, a processing fee may be charged for this. Further information can be found here...
