SWITCHING ON | SELF-CHECK | SEND MODE

• Despite a comprehensive self-check, a beacon mode check (SEND check and SEARCH check) is obligatory prior to every tour! Every member of the group must verify that both the SEND and SEARCH modes are functioning correctly.
• Switching on: Move the slider lock (1C) to the left and the slider (1B) upwards into the position SEARCH. Then release the slider lock (1C) and move the slider (1B) downwards, until it locks in the position SEND.
• Risk of incorrect switch position
• Always physically verify the Slider is securely locked into position: ‘SEND’. The Slider (1B) should not move unless the Slider Lock (1C) is dis-engaged.
• The display shows firmware version, battery capacity, self-check progress (4A), self-check result (4B), group check countdown (4C) and finally the SEND display with the active transmitting antenna (4D).
• The device is now in SEND mode, the transmit control LED (1G) is blinking.
• A minimum distance of 5 m from other devices and all electronic, magnetic and metallic sources of interference should be kept during the self-check.
• If the self-check is successful, “OK” is indicated on the display (4B). In the event of a device warning, an alert signal sounds and the display indicates “E” in combination with a number (4E). For error codes, see chapter 6.1.

GROUP CHECK FEATURE
The Black Diamond Recon X provides the option for a group check. This does not replace the standard mode check, but is a useful feature with larger groups. In group check mode the receiving range is limited to 1 m.

 | Group check regular

HELPFUL SUPPORTING FEATURES

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 X always transmits with the strongest possible signal!
•  Signal Verification | Protection in SEARCH mode
• Only a verified 457kHz signal is indicated. The BLACK DIAMOND RECON X is excellent at filtering out ghost signals!

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, smart watches, heated gloves, electronic airbags etc.): Minimum distance in SEND mode: 20 cm | Minimum distance in SEARCH mode: 50 cm

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 X, BLACK DIAMOND GUIDE/RECON BT, BLACK DIAMOND RECON LT, PIEPS PRO BT/POWDER BT, PIEPS MICRO, PIEPS DSP PRO/SPORT/PRO ICE, PIEPS DSP STANDARD/TOUR ≥ v5.0, PIEPS FREERIDE.

SEND  SEARCH
Move the slider lock (1C) to the left and the slider (1B) upwards in the position SEARCH.
Note: the slider does not lock in the SEARCH position.

SEARCH SEND
Move the slider (1B) downwards, until it locks in the position SEND.

Secondary avalanche | Auto-Search-to-Send
Auto-search-to-send, or `Auto-revert’ mode, provides an additional layer of protection against secondary avalanche scenarios. 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 movement (burial). The function provides the following characteristics:

•  Signal time-controlled initialization
•  Short switching timeout
•  Long warning phase with alert and countdown prior to switching
•  Continued alert, also after switching

Operation
With auto revert enabled, while in SEARCH mode and after the predetermined time and without the presence of a signal, the transceiver will begin the auto revert process. As shown below, a countdown with an associated sound will begin. If at any time during the countdown the mark button is pressed, the clock will be reset and the transceiver will remain in SEARCH. If a signal is encountered during the countdown, the timer will also be reset and the transceiver will remain in SEARCH.

ARCH MODE | SEARCH STRATEGY

In case of emergency
A buried person has the greatest chance of being rescued by an efficient companion rescue. In the event of an accident, the following applies: KEEP CALM, OBSERVE, ALERT, ACT WITH COORDINATION!

1. Keep calm & get an overview
   •  Are there any other risks?
   •  How many victims?
   •  Determine the primary search area!
2.  Make a brief emergency call
   •  EU 112, AT 140, CH 1414, IT 118, FR 15, NA 911
3.  Burial search
   •  Signal search (eyes + ears, beacon)
   •  Coarse search (starting with initial signal)
   •  Fine search (closer than 5 m on the surface)
   •  Pinpointing (systematic probing)
4. Systematic digging
5.  First Aid
6.  Rescue

Signal search
Start searching in the primary search area for the initial signal detection as well as for visual/acoustic signals. All participants, observers included, must switch their devices to SEARCH mode (or to standby mode)! Make sure to follow the external interference distance recommendations and hold the beacon a minimum of 50 cm (20″) from all electronic, magnetic, and metallic sources of interference. The BLACK DIAMOND RECON X has a circular receiving range that allows a correct indication of direction and distance from the point of initial signal detection – a specific method such as turning/rotating is not necessary. All signals of the burials that are within the maximum receiving range are received simultaneously.

Walk the search strip width in the search area quickly. The recommended search strip width for the BLACK DIAMOND RECON X is 50 m. The display shows “no signal”. As soon as signals are received, the distance and direction to the strongest signal are shown on the display. The number of victims located within the receiving range is indicated by the number of human figures.

Coarse search
Follow the directional arrow quickly and check for a decreasing distance reading. Change the search direction by 180° in case of an increasing distance reading.

Fine search
From a distance of 5 m, the search speed should be notably reduced (50 cm/s). At the same time, start working close to the surface of the snow. To prevent confusion during the fine search, the direction indication disappears below a distance of 2 m. Reduce the search speed again and find, by cross-like movements, the position of the lowest distance reading. A dynamic acoustic signal output supports the fine search: the closer you are to the sending transceiver, the sound will decrease in period and increase in frequency.

Do an accurate direction adjustment before the direction arrow disappears! You are then moving to the transmitting beacon in best coupling position and save time during the cross-like movements.

Pinpointing
Begin at the point of the lowest distance indicated. Always probe perpendicular to the surface. Use your lower hand as a “probe guide” to ensure the probe follows a steady path. Follow a proven system until you have a hit. Communicate a hit clearly to companions. Leave the probe stuck for shoveling guidance.

Move your beacon at a slow, steady speed of about 10 cm/s, keep it leveled close to the surface and do not rotate your device. Search along the Y axis, determine the lowest distance value, then follow along the X axis. Always move past the point of the lowest distance to verify the distance tendency. Mark the point of the lowest distance reading and start pinpointing.

Multiple burials | MARK function
A multiple burial is indicated clearly on the display by the number of small human figures (2G, 2H).Marking is possible from a distance reading of 5 m and is indicated by the MARK symbol (2E). Press the MARK button (1D) briefly to “hide” the localized transmitter. A successful flagging is confirmed by a frame around the human figure (2J). The display then indicates the direction/distance to the next strongest signal inside the receiving range. If there are no further signals within the receiving range the display indicates “no signal”

Continuous wave indication | old-device-indication
Old analog transceivers are transmitting a continuous wave in addition to the pulse signal. To keep an impact at a minimum, it is recommended to step a few meters away after marking such a transmitter.

The BLACK DIAMOND RECON X identifies a continuous wave and supports visually by flashing human figures.

DEVICE MANAGEMENT WITH THE PIEPS AP P
Bluetooth and the PIEPS APP allow a straightforward device management (e.g. software update) and additionally provide a handy training mode. Get the PIEPS APP (Android Play Store, iOS App Store), connect your BLACK DIAMOND RECON X and take advantage of all features! The user is responsible for keeping their beacon firmware up to date. Black Diamond recommends checking for updates at the beginning of every season, and checking monthly when equipment is in regular use. To enable Bluetooth, press and hold the MARK button (1D) while switching on the beacon.

Risk of a non-transmitting device due to enabled Bluetooth The Bluetooth mode is supposed for device management and training mode only. Never use the Bluetooth mode in avalanche terrain! Settings are available for the following features:
