Group Test
The intuitive Barryvox group test allows you to carry out a quick and easy check of both transmission frequency and range of all avalanche transceivers at the start of a tour. The distance to the transceiver to be checked is indicated on the display, clearly differentiating individual devices in the Barryvox group check. Similar to a partner check in climbing, we recommend carrying out the group check before the start of each tour to ensure all avalanche transceivers are working correctly.
SEND confirmation
If space limitations make it impossible to carry out a group check, a minimal test can be carried out to ensure all participants’ avalanche transceivers are transmitting.
Barryvox S Pro Check
The Barryvox S Pro Check allows the quick and precise measurement of an avalanche transceiver’s transmission frequency, cycle duration and pulse length before a tour. This function offers additional safety,especially in cases where some members of a group are using older 1 and 2 antenna devices. It ensures immediate detection of any non-compliant avalanche transceivers that are likely to cause searching problems such as signal overlap within the group.
Barryvox S Alternative Search Mode (Analog)
The alternative search mode uses the analog tone in addition to the distance and direction to the avalanche transceiver with the strongest signal. The alternative search mode is used mainly when signal overlap or interference prevents differentiation of multiple buried subjects in standard mode.
Optimized Interference Resistance
Thanks to the Barryvox transceiver’s high resistance to interference, electronic gadgets (smartphones, headlamps, radios, etc.) are less likely to cause inaccurate direction and distance displays or ghost signals.
Performance Boost:
The BarryHeart 3.0 firmware upgrade optimizes the following functions:
- Faster and more precise signal analysis
- More stable marking function during signal overlaps
- Faster direction display after reception of the first signal
- Improved guidance during 180° errors
- Faster and more stable list of buried subjects
- Improved battery life display
Device-to-Device Update
This new function allows upgrades to the BarryHeart 3.2 firmware to be made from one device to another. This makes it possible to run the firmware upgrade even where there is no access to a network or service point - very easily from device to device.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Same type of device.
- Both Barryvox devices have a battery capacity of over 30%.
- Only one simultaneous upgrade is possible between two devices in the same building or within a radius of 50 meters.
- Upgrade must take place between devices utilizing the same W-Link region (no device-to-device upgrade for devices purchased in Japan).
DEVICE-TO-DEVICE UPDATE PROCEDURE:
Barryvox® S
- Power off both devices.
- Switch on the device with the most recent firmware. Under “Setting,” select the “Device-to-Device Update” function and press the main button on the front to confirm.
- Then follow the instructions on the display.
Barryvox®
- Power off both devices.
- On the device with the most recent firmware, press and hold the main button on the front while at the same time shifting the main switch from OFF to SEND. Hold the main button down until “UP” appears on the display.
- The device is now ready for the transfer. (Press the main button if no update is to be carried out)
- On the device to be updated, press and hold the main button while at the same time shifting the main switch from OFF to SEND. Release the main button after 2 seconds.
- Installation of the firmware on the device will start and the progress will be shown on the top left of the display.
