ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS FOR PIEPS DSP PRO
2. FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT
Hold the SCAN button for more than 3 seconds while in
the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO uses the frequency
measurement to check the frequency of all other beacons. The
frequency of the strongest (closest) beacon is measured. The
deviation from the standardized frequency 457kHz is indicated.
The shown number is the deviation in Hz and the arrows indicates
+ (right) or – (left). The frequency measurement ends when the
button SCAN is not pressed any longer.
IMPORTANT! Check the transmitting frequency of your ski
partners regularly to ensure best performance. According the
standard EN300718 a beacon must transmit within the range of 457
kHz +/- 80 Hz. Ideal and reasonable technical operation will have a
maximum deviation of no more than +/- 30 Hz.
3. TX600-SUPPORT
The PIEPS TX600 is a mini-transmitter for dogs and equipment that
transmits at 456 kHz, which is out of the standard EN300718 (457
kHz +/- 80 Hz) and can be received with every PIEPS DSP PRO.
Hold the MARK and SCAN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds
while in the SEARCH-mode. The PIEPS DSP PRO switches into
the TX600-mode (“TX”-indication on the display) and indicates
the direction and distance to the strongest TX600 signal. Also the
functions MARK, SCAN and frequency measurement are available
in TX600-mode. To activate the search according to the standard
EN300718 again, switch the PIEPS DSP PRO to the SEND-mode
and then back to the SEARCH-mode.
IMPORTANT! In the standard SEARCH-mode the PIEPS DSP
PRO does not indicate the TX600. Active search operations are never
inuenced. A detection of the TX600 without switching to a special
mode is only possible in immediate vicinity (<1 m).
Example:
the frequency of
the measured signal
is 457 kHz + 10 Hz
(=457.010 Hz)
