Since their beginning as rope makers for the Swiss Army over 120 years ago, Mammut has continued to pioneer new designs and materials, making sure that their ropes and backcountry gear adhere to the highest standards. Every detail is designed with pure function in mind. Mammut’s commitment to your safety is evident from Teflon-coated ropes that were the first to pass the UIAA Edge Fall Resistance test to digital avalanche beacons that decrease the time it takes to find your friends when they need you the most.

Description of Mammut Pulse Barryvox Avalanche Beacon:
With their innovative Pulse Baravox Avalanche Beacon, Mammut gives you the abilty to perform pre-search triage and find multiple buried victims quickly. For all burials, the Pulse uses a 360 degree direction arrow that leads you along the shortest path to the victim and eliminates the need for a final grid search. For multiple buried victims, the Pulse Beacon can search for up to eight signals at once. A triple antenna eliminates all signals except the one you're following and marks victims once they're located. This beacon even shows you which signals are being searched for by other Pulse users, so your search is more efficient. If you're the one buried, this Mammut beacon also has a motion sensor that detects vital signs and lets other Pulse users know you're still alive. In avalanche rescue, efficiency is everything; this Mammut beacon shortens your search and buys time for whoever's buried.

Bottom Line: Embrace new technology and save lives with the incredibly efficient Mammut Pulse Baravox Avalanche Beacon.

EASY and FAST   12-08-06

I had the opportunity to try this beacon out in a controlled environment. It is a super easy beacon to use. The compass feature gives the beacon the very accurate readings. Another great aspect of this beacon is the multiple burial function. It shows you the signal that is closet to you and you are able to check each individual one off as necessary. Remember the only way this beacon is effective is to practice.

Cheating   10-21-07

When I took an avy course this winter, everyone else in my group complained that I was cheating (in jest of course), but thats how much faster and easier my searching was in comparison to others using BCA trackers and F1s. It was very handy for helping direct a group search for multiple burials as I could reliably declare how many were buried and to tell people which signal for them to pay attention to (to direct subgroups of searchers to different beacons). Still as with most beacons, I found its important not to move too quickly while searching. The beacon would sometimes get confused if you tried to move very quickly and then it would ask you to stand still while it reacquired its target. The symptoms of confusion usually were that it might try to send you the long way on the flux line. The cure for this was to stop moving and let it figure it out quickly. I wouldn't consider this a flaw as with all digital beacons its important not to "outrun" them.

Great improvement   02-15-07

My first try out was at a avalanche training center at Andermatt, Switzerland I was able to test my response time over the older digital Mammut Barryvox, and the signal response was infinitely faster. The ability to shut off signals already found totally eliminates the confusion with multiple burials. With a little practice it's easy even for a beginner. Be careful though when using outside the US though, the Vital status feature is transmitted on a frequency only valid in the area you buy it. Apparently the frequency used by the rest of the world is illegal in the US. (Thank You US Army). But this only applies to the vital status feature, which only works if everyone in your party has a new pulse Barryvox anyway. Otherwise great product!
