Description

With the EVO BT, you no longer have to sacrifice performance for ergonomics. It combines expert features with the intuitive operation essential for efficient emergency searches.

The EVO BT is a high performance avalanche transceiver ideal for demanding users.
It combines expert performance with a user-friendly interface for maximum efficiency. The rotary selector makes it easy to operate, even when wearing gloves.

With a bandwidth of 60m, automatic return to transmit via motion sensor, U-turn alarm function and dynamic interference management, the EVO BT meets the needs of demanding users. It is made from recycled plastic and comes with a recycled fabric holster.

What's more, its Bluetooth connectivity allows it to be configured via the ARVA app, receive software updates and perform regular diagnostics, in addition to the six-monthly service. A complete solution for your safety on the mountain.

60 m Search Bandwidth
Bandwidth corresponds to the size the area «scanned» by the searching device. The device’s search area increases as bandwidth increases. This criterion is often used to compare beacon performance.
  • Multiple Victims: Display 4 victims with "+" indication beyond 3 victims
  • Bluetooth: Bluetooth connectivity for advanced DVA settings, firmware updates and diagnostics
  • Motion Sensor: Automatic revert-to-transmit mode detects of movement in the event of a secondary avalanche
  • Interference Management: Dynamic interference management
  • Effective Search: Automatic Gain Control: this technology enables dynamic signal management for more efficient search in multi-victim scenarios.

FAQ's

How to ensure quick success with an avalanche transceiver?
Carefully read the user’s manual. Familiarize yourself with the use of the ARVA transceiver before you enter the backcountry and practice in the field. Take an avalanche safety course. Do not hesitate to ask a mountain professional or a training center (ENSA, ANENA, CAF, FFME, FFS). Many ski resorts are equipped with an avalanche training park. Ask the local tourist office or ski patrol (training parks are compatible with all the transceivers on the market).

Does the battery power influence the unit performance?
For analog devices, the range is directly linked to battery power. Read the user’s manual carefully. For digital devices, the emitting power level and search range is independent of battery power until a battery reaches below a battery level recommended by the manufacturer. When your batteries reach below the lower limit, your beacon warns you with a visual and sound indication. On all our beacons, we warranty 100% emitting power until your batteries drop below 20%. IMPORTANT: do not use rechargeable batteries, because they have a sudden capacity loss. We recommend alkaline batteries that are provided with the unit (we recommend you carry 4 spare batteries).

Is the indicated number of buried victims reliable?
If there are more than 2 victims, consider that the calculated number of burials displayed is uncertain as long as all the found devices are not switched off. During the search, signals may overlap or some interference may disturb the signals. This is why, the “multiple burials” icon does not appear always immediately. It may even happen that this icon does not appear at all. This is why, you must check the entire avalanche path.

Are all brands of transceivers compatible?
Yes all transceiver devices that operate on a frequency of 457 kHz are compatible.
