4.5 HELPFUL BACKGROUND FEATURES

4.5.1 Interference protection

•
Auto-Antenna-Switch | Protection in send mode
If the transmitting antenna is impacted by external interference, the other antenna will take over the
transmit function. The BLACK DIAMOND RECON LT always transmits with the strongest possible signal!
•
Signal Verification | Protection in search mode
Only a verified 457kHz signal is indicated. The BLACK DIAMOND RECON LT doesn´t confuse ghost signal
indication!
External interference and distance recommendations
All beacons are very sensitive to electrical and magnetic sources of interference. Due to this, all manufacturers
recommend keeping a minimum distance from electronic, magnetic and metallic sources of interference (mobile
phone, radio, keys, magnetic closures, etc.):
Minimum distance in send mode: 20 cm | Minimum distance in search mode: 50 cm

4.5.2 PIEPS iPROBE-Support

Beacons with iPROBE-support* get automatically deactivated when probing with the electronic probe PIEPS
iPROBE. This prevents signal overlaps and the next-strongest signal is automatically shown on the display of the
receiving beacon. Maximum support in multiple burials!
•
The iPROBE-Support is automatically activated on beacons with firmware version V1.1 or lower.
•
The iPROBE-Support is automatically deactivated on beacons with firmware version V1.2 or higher and
can be activated via the PIEPS APP.
* Beacons with iPROBE-Support: BLACK DIAMOND RECON LT, BLACK DIAMOND GUIDE/RECON BT, PIEPS PRO
BT/POWDER BT, PIEPS MICRO, PIEPS DSP PRO/SPORT/PRO ICE, PIEPS DSP STANDARD/TOUR ≥ v5.0, PIEPS
FREERIDE.
4.6 SEND SEARCH

4.7.1 Secondary avalanche | Auto-Search-to-Send

The BLACK DIAMOND RECON LT provides the feature Auto-Search-to-Send. By default, it is disabled and can be
enabled in the PIEPS APP device manager. Once enabled, the device switches from search mode to send mode
automatically after a certain time without change in motion (burial).
The function provides the following characteristics:
•
Motion-controlled initialization
•
Short switching timeout
