Barryvox S2 Black

The Barryvox S2 from the brand Mammut is a high-end avalanche victim detector (DVA), designed for mountain activities in risky terrain: off-piste, freeride, mountaineering, ski touring.

The brand strives to develop DVAs that are increasingly efficient and adaptable to all situations, so that every rescue can be carried out without losing a second.

Performance:
This device has a maximum range of 70 metres. The Barryvox S2 assists you in the rescue: it shows you the distance, direction to follow, and the number of buried subjects (up to 16). The audio search guidance helps you locate buried persons more easily. Its battery life in SEND mode is 550 hours with lithium batteries and 450 hours with alkaline batteries, and about one hour in SEARCH mode.

Ease of use:
Mammut has redesigned its casing and interface: information is simple to read, the device can be operated with gloves, and the casing is shock-resistant. The casing is operable with gloves, while the MIP screen is readable even with polarised sunglasses. The voice guidance assists you during all phases of the search. The wrong direction function prevents you from heading in the opposite direction to the victim(s). This model manages, reduces, and alerts you to interference.

To facilitate communication between multiple rescuers, the Barryvox S2 is equipped with an additional Bluetooth® communication channel, protecting you from interference and allowing you to gain efficiency, especially in complex rescue situations. In cases of very deep burial, fine search is automatically triggered earlier (3 metres); deeply buried persons are marked up to a distance of 6 metres.

Advanced features:
The Pro-Search setting combines a digital display and an analogue tone, allowing you to switch to alternative search mode. On this high-end model, features are manually adjustable: acoustic guidance, voice guidance, visual guidance, Pro Test, vital information detection, setting of the rescue dispatch delay, and automatic switching from search mode to transmit mode.

Multi-victim mode:
The Barryvox S2 allows you to visualise up to 16 victims simultaneously. In the event of multi-victim burial, it offers differentiated marking of victims. This avoids signal conflicts and improves efficiency. The Auto-Select function prevents you from scattering by automatically directing you to the strongest signal. The Bluetooth® channel also transmits vital information about victims to optimise decision-making.

Carrying system:
The BarryMount holster into which you can slide your Barryvox S2 is of very good quality. Adjustable and practical, it allows one-handed operation without removing your gloves. It also blocks accidental activation of search mode to increase your safety in the field.

Rescuer safety:
The main button incorporates a SafeLock safety feature to prevent any accidental activation of receive mode. The Barryvox S2 also features a Pro Check mode allowing you to verify the proper functioning of the DVAs of those accompanying you, all while being guided by the device’s instructions. The Barryvox S2 regularly performs automatic self-tests and alerts you to any malfunction. Additionally, if no movement is detected from you for 4 minutes, the Barryvox S2 assumes a secondary avalanche and automatically switches to SEND mode.
