2. TRAnSMIT PARAMETER CHECK
The transmit characteristics of an avalanche transceiver have to be in accordance with the
standard EN300718. The most important parameters are frequency, pulse length, period length.
Parameters outside of the allowed range may result in a serious limitation when searching for
such a device!
While the group-check-function (see BEACON-CHECK|GROUP-CHECK) only checks the
existence of a transmit signal and its frequency, the PIEPS DSP PRO allows a comprehensive
check of the transmit parameters:
activation of the transmit parameter check:
1. Turn on your PIEPS DSP PRO
(Position SEND).
2. Wait until „CH" appears on the display
(CH = CHECK).
3. Press and continue to hold the SCAN button.
The function is active as long as the SCAN button is pressed. Release the SCAN button to exit
the function. After a countdown of three seconds, your PIEPS DSP PRO automatically turns into
the SEND mode. During the countdown, the function can be reactivated.
note: Accurate measurement takes a little time!
Further transceivers should keep a minimum distance of 5m.

3. FREQuEnCY MEASuREMEnT
Press the SCAN button for more than 3 seconds while in
the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO uses the frequency
measurement to check the frequency of all other beacons. The
frequency of the strongest (closest) beacon is measured. The
deviation from the standardized frequency 457kHz is indicated.
The shown number is the deviation in Hz and the arrows indicates
+ (right) or – (left). The frequency measurement ends when the
button SCAN is not pressed any longer.
IMPORTAnT!
Check the transmitting frequency of your ski
partners regularly to ensure best performance. According the
standard EN300718 a beacon must transmit within the range of
457 kHz +/- 80 Hz. Ideal and reasonable technical operation will
have a maximum deviation of no more than +/- 30 Hz.
4. TX600-SuPPORT
The PIEPS TX600 is a mini-transmitter for dogs and equipment
that transmits at 456 kHz, which is out of the standard EN300718
(457 kHz +/- 80 Hz) and can be received with every PIEPS DSP PRO.
Hold the MARK and SCAN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds
while in the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO switches into
the TX600-mode ("TX"-indication on the display) and indicates
the direction and distance to the strongest TX600 signal. Also the
functions MARK, SCAN and frequency measurement are available
in TX600-mode. To activate the search according to the standard
EN300718 again, switch the PIEPS DSP PRO to the SEND-mode
and then back to the SEARCH-mode.
IMPORTAnT!
In the standard SEARCH-mode the PIEPS DSP
PRO does not indicate the TX600. Active search operations are never
influenced. A detection of the TX600 without switching to a special
mode is only possible in immediate vicinity (<1 m).
Example:
