PRODUCT FEATURES You get better found: The 3+ is a three-antenna device with a special extra function to first enhance your own safety. The intelligent position recognition system analyses the position of the antennas and automatically switches to the optimal transmitting antenna. There is no longer any such thing as the worst position. You find faster: The circular display lets you focus on the essentials. The distance to and the relative position of a victim. Always align the device to the arrow. The solid arrow and the central distance value keep you going in the right direction. You find more exactly:The patented circular display shows you at a glance whether you are getting closer to the signal or moving away from it. With the precise distance value you can very effectively determine the distance to the buried victim and limit the area to be probed. You find more victims: The 3+ allows you to maintain an overview even with multiple burials. The number of victims is shown in the display. As soon as you have found the first one you can blend out their signal with the pin key. The victim is displayed as pinned and you can immediately continue with your search. Safety features:Smart antenna technology enhances your own safety. Signal separation with pinning function. Very easy operation due to: clear control elements, precise real time display with directional arrows and circular display. Rubberized housing for protection and ergonomics. Display lighting for night searches, switchover in case of a follow-up avalanche, clear and optimized search acoustics, updateability. OUR OPINION We are very impressed with the 3+ which is why we are now stocking it; It is very compact and lightweight, so is ideal for those with smaller frames or concerned about bulk when in the back country or off-piste. It offers impressive but simple to use functions too.
Tracker’s legendary ease-of-use in a smaller package. The Tracker3™ has Tracker2’s renowned ease of use and instantaneous real-time display–and it’s 20 percent smaller and lighter. T3 is the thinnest multi-antenna transceiver available. Three antennas and no-nonsense multiple burial searching. One way the Tracker 3 multiple-burial system differs from other brands is that it doesn’t look at more than two signals at a time. When there are more than two signal present, all transceivers’ counting and marking features become exponentially worse. When Tracker 3 counts and suppresses signals, BCA want to tell you the truth and no more–misinformation can turn your search into a train wreck. The Tracker will show an icon that indicates whether you have two or more than two (2+) signals; it will not count further than that (you can do that yourself with Big Picture mode). Similarly, the Tracker3 will only suppress one signal at a time, it will not keep more than one suppressed at a time (if you’re suppressing one signal, you’re in a world of hurt; if you’re suppressing more than one, you’re probably the first person ever to do so). There is an advanced manual that covers advanced multiple burial techniques using the BP feature and video too, if viewing this on our website click on the downloads tab above for the standard manual AND advanced user manual. New Features Auto Revert Mode - This mode can be selected, and means that the transceiver will switch back to transmit mode from search mode if no movement is detected after one minute Download Updated Directly - The Tracker 3 has a built in USB mini port under the battery flap, that allows you to download software updates directly to your avalanche transceiver so you always have the latest version Big Picture Mode - Emulating analogue technology, this gives you an overview in multiple burial situations of the distance and number of each buried beacon detected, or advanced search practices for multiple burial situations Transceiver Specifications Unit weight with batteries: 215 grams Harness weight: 100 grams Dimensions: 11.5 x 7.1 x 2.4 cm Rapid processor and simple user interface Real-time, digital display shows direction and distance Multiple burial indicator light Bright red LEDs (light emitting diodes) Includes a protective carrying case Frequency: 457 kHz Batteries: three AAA alkaline batteries required (included) Battery life: minimum 1 hour in search mode after 200 hours in transmit mode (approximately 250 hours in transmit only or 50 hours in search only) Range: 50 meters Warranty: Limited 5-year warranty Certified to be in compliance with all applicable North American and European norms. I spent a day getting to know this transceiver on the latest HATS (Henrys Avalanche Talks) training. Its an impressive bit of kit (So impressive I now own one!) with the range being the standout difference between the other transceivers on the course. I also found that when down to 20 metres or below, it was like a bloodhound giving a very clear and direct route to the buried transceivers. I recommend spending some time getting to know the SS (Signal Supression) and BP (Big Picture) modes, as I was being a man so of course had not fully read the instructions, which of course we recommend you do VERY CAREFULLY before head

The new S1+ combines the success stories of two unique transceiver innovations: the display of the relative location of avalanche victims and the SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY! Handling the device is more intuitive than ever. Once switched on, it transmits, but when opened up it switches straight to search mode. The illuminated 360° real-time display shows the position in the avalanche and gives unmistakable action instructions. As soon as the person searching begins the pinpoint search, the patented circular display and intuitive search acoustics help the location process. Located victims can now be flagged and the search can continue. Follow-up avalanche switchover and SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY provide a safety plus for the user, while the economic power management protects the environment and your wallet - just two batteries are sufficient for 250 hours in transmission mode. Of course the device can be updated. BEST POSSIBLE PROTECTION Transmission mode Thereby the S1+ works incredibly easily and intuitively! It is turned on by the side safety switch. A standardized self-test runs automatically. All 3 antennas are checked for transmission and receiving functions, as well as for the battery status and the sensor. Then the device immediately switches to transmission mode. During the transmission mode, the transmitter is also constantly monitored and issues immediate notification when there is a malfunction. Smart-Antenna-Technology In the worst case of a burial, how well and quickly you will be found by your companions depends on your location in the avalanche. This is called a coupling position. An axial coupling position is optimal - when your transmitter has the longest range. A vertical position is bad, since the range collapses by about 52%. In this situation, the S1+ uses the patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY. It analyzes the position of the antennas and automatically switches to the best transmitting antenna. The result: you get 43% more range than with all other devices on the market (with the exception of 3+), entirely independent of the search device of your companion! Recco For maximum protection, weve also equipped the S1+ with a Recco reflector. Recco helps professional rescuers find victims buried in the snow even faster. The backup technology is used by more than 700 ski areas and rescue teams around the world. SIMPLICITY Search mode An avalanche is an absolute stress situation, in which holding your nerves and focused action are what that pays off. To make the search situation as simple as possible, the S1+ need only be flipped open in order to enter the locating mode. Neither keys nor buttons need to be pressed - simple snap open is enough and the digital device scans the avalanche cone automatically. The large, illuminated 360° real-time display gives you detailed instructions on what you have to do. First, you will get the prompt to go in a meandering manner around the avalanche cone, until you receive an initial signal. The search strip width amounts to 50 m for the S1+. You will receive an initial signal even at a distance of 55 m to the victim. The relative position of the victim is immediately indicated in the display. Bearing lines, direction arrow and distance information lead you along the fastest route to the strongest transmission signal. From a distance of 4 meters, you are supported in the detection by a patented circular and trend indicator as well as the intuitive search acoustics. Once youve found the shortest distance to the victim, you can mark it. The victim appears in the display as located and you can (in the case of a multiple burial) continue with the search. The relative positions of up to 4 buried victims are directly sh
The Zoom+ Avalacnhe Rescue Kit gives beginners an economical way to escape the hustle of the slopes and discover the backcountry air. The Zoom+ avalanche rescue kit gives beginners an economical way to escape the hustle of the slopes and discover the backcountry air. We chose the components to be highly intuitive so they can be easily mastered even in stressful situations. The included Safety Academy Guide Book explains the ground rules and reveals a great deal of background information on the complex topic of avalanches to help ensure that the transceiver, probe, and shovel are not even needed in the first place. Zoom The ZOOM+ combines the simplest handling with the latest technology and the most advanced design. Reduced to two functional buttons, the ZOOM+ concentrates on intuitive usability. The focus on the clearly designed LED-display is on the on / off switches and the switch between transmitting and searching. Distances, directional arrows and information about several avalanche victims guide you in the fastest way to the refined search area, with the intuitive search acoustics making victims easier to locate. Equipped with the patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY, avalanche victims are found much better with the ZOOM+. The device analyzes its position in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. The latest digital 3-antenna technology is taken for granted at ORTOVOX just as much as the automatic switch over in case of a follow-up avalanche The Badger The BADGER is a super lightweight aluminum shovel with an ergonomic, hybrid grip for maximum power transmission. Its sizable blade volume of 2.5 liters is backed up by robust design, pronounced center ridge and high side walls for full rigidity. Non-slip grooves on the top edge of the blade provide adequate traction when wearing boots. A centering aid in the shaft socket facilitates rapid assembly. 240 Economic The beginners probe with a very low weight. With a 240 cm length the Economic weighs just 230 grams. This is achieved by an aluminum tube with a diameter of 11 mm. The probe is stretched classically with a screw cap, in which the Kevlar draw line is clamped. The burial depth can be read on the probe segments.
We are combining our top products into one set. Packaged together in a high-quality box, the decision is easy: The AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER 3+, the BEAST avalanche shovel, and the 240 LIGHT PFA avalanche probe. The included SAFETY ACADEMY GUIDE BOOK explains the ground rules and reveals a great deal of background information on the complex topic of avalanches with the goal of preventing the need to use the transceiver, probe, and shovel in the first place. 3+ With the 3+ yo u are in charge! The patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY - with intelligent position recognition automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. You will be found easier. We make no compromises in terms of searching either. The 3+ is equipped with all the features of a modern, digital 3-antenna device. The illuminated real-time display tells you the direction, distance and number of victims. The patented circular display, combined with the intuitive search acoustics, leaves no doubt when operating in fine search mode. Once located, victims can be removed from the display using the flagging function. The motion-sensor-based follow-up avalanche switchover ensures additional safety. We have also thought about the future: the 3+ can be updated and protects the environment with just a single battery. Beast Our Beast stands for maximum performance in any type of snow. The scoop vanishes into every touring backpack saving space and offers an optimal ratio between weight and maximum rigidity. The T-handle and sanded grip enable economic shoveling. The oval shovel shaft makes the Beast not only stiffer but also extremely resistant to breakage. 240 Light PFA The probe for all weight-oriented winter sport athletes. With 270 g it is the lightest pfa aluminum probe in the Ortovox probe range. With the pfa quick-release tensioning system and the rugged Dyneema draw line, it is ready for use in seconds and just as quickly collapsed again and put together. Slippage of the segments can be ruled out! At 240 cm the burial depth can be read on the individual segments. The grip sleeve made of EVA foam is very pleasant for practice. It is fits ergonomically in the hand and protects the palms from the cold. Like all ORTOVOX probes, the 240 Light pfa is delivered with a practical quick-release cover.

Design meets function. The new Zoom stands for the latest 3-antenna technology, packaged in an intuitive, contemporary design. The ZOOM+ combines the simplest handling with the latest technology and the most advanced design. Reduced to two functional buttons, the ZOOM+ concentrates on intuitive usability. The focus on the clearly designed LED-display is on the on / off switches and the switch between transmitting and searching. Distances, directional arrows and information about several avalanche victims guide you in the fastest way to the refined search area, with the intuitive search acoustics making victims easier to locate. Equipped with the patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY, avalanche victims are found much better with the ZOOM+. The device analyzes its position in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transimission antenna. The latest digital 3-antenna technology is taken for granted at ORTOVOX just as much as the aut omatic switch over in case of a follow-up avalanche. BEST POSSIBLE PROTECTION Intuitive design We designed the ZOOM+ for ease of use. Just two buttons make operating errors practically impossible. Once switched on, it is possible to switch between transmission and search mode using the safety switchover button. Subsequent search instructions are given on the large LED-display. An all-round soft rubber ring guarantees easy handling and additional protection. We have secured the ZOOM from being lost with an elastic hand strap and a comfortable bag. Recco For maximum protection, weve also equipped the S1+ with a Recco reflector. Recco helps professional rescuers find victims buried in the snow even faster. The backup technology is used by more than 700 ski areas and rescue teams around the world. SIMPLICITY Weve slimmed down the ZOOM+ to its most important elements. With only two buttons, faulty operation is virtually impossible. Once switched on, the user can switch between sending and searching modes using the safety switch. Further search instructions are then displayed on the large LED. A soft rubber ring around the outside of the device ensures easy handling and provides additional protection. To prevent loss, weve given the ZOOM+ an elastic hand loop and practical carrying case. Visual + acoustic search The ZOOM+ focuses the person searching on the large display in the middle of the device. LEDs are used to show the distance to the victim, the direction using arrows and if there is more than one victim. Large LEDs are easy to read especially in poor visibility conditions and at night. The visual search mode is supported by intuitive search ac oustics. Higher and fast sounds tell you that you are approaching the avalanche victim. Smart-Antenna Technology The integrated smart-antenna-technology analyzes the position of the antennas in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. The result: Almost double the range in the worst coupling position, regardless of the beacon used for searching.The patented Smart Antenna Technology is compatible with all avalanche transceivers, in other words regardless of which device the person searching is using. Switch over in case of a follow-up avalanche The ZOOM+ is equipped with the latest, digital 3-antenna technology and with a motion sensor. This is required for switching over in case of a follow-up avalanche. If the transmitter registers no movement for more than 120 seconds while searching, it automatically switches back to transmission mode. Rescuers are thereby protected from follow-up avalanches at all times. Technology The ZOOMs complete electronics are checked when it is turned on (self test) and constantly monitored wh
