We also assume our responsibility for legacy products by updating their firmware if required.
Based on customer feedback, we have identified isolated cases where a prolonged switching time from SEARCH to SEND may occur when using the Rescue-SEND function in the PULSE Barryvox. The new PULSE Barryvox 4.2 firmware has now optimized the Rescue-SEND function.
What is the Rescue-SEND function in the PULSE Barryvox?
Rescue-SEND is a feature designed to protect non-searching rescuers in the event of burial by a secondary avalanche, without interfering with an ongoing transceiver search.
In this mode, the 457-kHz transmitting signal is temporarily stopped to avoid disrupting an ongoing search. The motion sensor detects any burial from a secondary avalanche and automatically switches to SEND mode after 4 minutes (default setting). This allows the buried rescuer to be found using a transceiver search.
With Rescue Send activated, if the user switches between Send and Search using specific configurations, there may be a prolonged switching time from SEARCH to SEND.
The new PULSE Barryvox 4.2 firmware optimizes the Rescue-SEND function by eliminating the occurrence of prolonged switching times.
