Your rescue will be easier:
Patented SMART ANTENNA technology – automatic selection of the most suitable antenna for the maximum range of the broadcast signal and its amplification after the avalanche stops thanks to the motion sensor. If you are searching and another avalanche falls, which also covers you, the search engine will automatically switch back to broadcast mode, even from Standby mode. RECCO reflector - for localization by mountain rescue services. Self test - the device constantly tests itself and in case of interference, it will notify you or switch to another antenna.

It does not mind the cold or frequent and demanding use
The ORTOVOX DIRACT avalanche transceiver was developed in cooperation with the Tyrolean Avalanche Prevention Center with an emphasis on durability for frequent and demanding use by mountain guides and rescue workers. The viewfinder tolerates long-term cold temperatures of -20 °C. Its strong rubberized cover withstands impacts and moisture and does not slip even in gloves. The battery lasts for 250 hours of broadcasting.

A simple and intuitive avalanche finder
ORTOVOX DIRACT has only one button, but it does the rest of the work for you. The large display is easy to understand, speeds up your reactions and gives you peace of mind. During a detailed search, you are navigated by an intuitive sound with a changing intensity of beeps, thus simplifying the entire search process.

SMART ANTENNA – it does not matter in which position it is buried
In order to be found quickly when buried, it is important to have a finder with the best possible range of the transmitted signal, which is, however, affected by the position of the device. The device perceives its position relative to the center of the earth with a sensor and always knows whether it is buried in a vertical or horizontal position. Thanks to this information, the ORTOVOX DIRACT avalanche transceiver selects the most suitable antenna for transmission and eliminates the vertical position of the buried victim, which otherwise complicates rescue and reduces the range to less than half.

The signal transmitted by the most suitable antenna increases the stability of the indicated direction and distance. Thanks to the patented SMART ANTENNA function, they will find you faster and easier.
After the avalanche stops, it doubles the signal strength to make you more visible to rescuers again, thanks to the motion sensor.

RECCO – emergency signal
RECCO is today the equipment of mountain rescuers in European countries and around the world. The RECCO reflector is inserted in the case, so even if the device is lost, it maintains your chance of finding it.

• range up to 200 m under good conditions
• the possibility of searching in flight from a helicopter
• the wanted person can be found, even if the device does not transmit - its batteries are dead, it is turned off, or it has other damage
• Your safety always comes first

An avalanche beacon is a piece of safety equipment, and your life depends on its reliability. ORTOVOX search engines have three functions that guarantee reliability:

Self test - the search engine checks its functions at regular 3-minute intervals - broadcasting, searching, all sensors, batteries, and when it detects an error, it immediately signals it on the display and announces it with a sound signal.
Smart Transmitting – when the device detects that it is disturbed by a mobile phone or other object, it starts transmitting with another antenna that is not disturbed and signals the problem.
If you forget to turn off the device after a hike, after 30 minutes in the same position, it will begin to announce with a sound that you forgot to turn it off.

STANDBY mode
Everyone in group search training has experienced that too many beeping devices can distract you and distract you from accurate work with the search engine or probe. However, in no case should you turn off your device, because there is always a risk of a secondary avalanche. That's why ORTOVOX incorporated a Standby mode into the device, which will allow those who are not searching to make their device invisible to others, but in the event of a second avalanche, the device will automatically switch to broadcasting.

Insurance in case of a second avalanche - AUTOMATIC BACKUP
If an avalanche falls and you switch to search mode or Standby mode, and then a second avalanche falls that also buries you, the ORTOVOX avalanche finder will automatically switch to signal transmission mode after two minutes without movement so that the rest of the group can locate and rescue you as well. ORTOVOX DIRACT has a built-in motion sensor that automatically evaluates that you are lying motionless under an avalanche.

You will also find more buried ones
The ORTOVOX DIRACT avalanche transceiver has excellent signal analysis and accurately identifies and distinguishes all signals within range. The display shows more buried people in range (a graphic symbol of a person on the display), up to 4, so that you know that more people need to be saved. Based on this information, you can choose the right rescue tactics.

The device always guides you to the strongest signal, i.e. to the nearest buried one. As soon as you want to start looking for other buried ones, just hold down the "Mark" button nearby, the box with the graphic symbol of a person will change to a flag and a sound signal will inform you that the beeper is starting to lead to the next buried one. In these cases, the search for multiple burials is greatly simplified and you can locate an essentially unlimited number of burials.

Durable battery
The uniquely designed electronics of ORTOVOX avalanche devices can reduce electricity consumption. The large-capacity battery lasts for 250 hours of broadcasting and you simply charge it using the included USB cable. The battery is ecological and also thanks to the use of the battery, there is no risk of battery leakage and device deterioration.

Software update using the ORTOVOX APP (Apple iOS, Android)
For a long life of the avalanche search engine and proper function, you can choose the UPDATE function, which updates the software and at the same time improves the device with new functions. It also supports changing the settings of the search engine, its personalization, fleet management or practical tutorial videos.

ORTOVOX ALU 240 avalanche probe

A very lightweight and durable avalanche probe for long hikes where every gram and space counts. Reliable and easy to operate. An ideal choice if you are looking for a light and small probe without compromising on strength and length. You will appreciate the intuitive indication of the depth of the buried object and the Quick Lock system for quick folding of the probe, which will make it much easier and faster to save the buried object.

• QUICK LOCK locking system
• Tip wider than probe parts
• Tapered edges for faster folding
• Depth marking 1 m
• Depth marking every 5 cm
• Weight 200g

Intelligent depth marking
Marking the depth of 1 m decides for you which direction to dig from and saves so many precious minutes during the rescue:

• side kick if the marking is 1 m under the snow
• kick from above if the marking is above the snow surface

This recommendation is based on the latest IKAR methodological guidelines. When digging, the penultimate blue part serves as a warning that you are approaching the backfill. The last neon-orange part at the end of the probe is a warning for more careful digging to avoid injury to the buried. The probe has a depth marking of 5 cm.

Folding the probe in one quick movement
The QUICK LOCK locking system allows you to quickly assemble the probe with one movement and also to tighten the probe using the thread. You can fold the probe in one continuous motion right after removing it from the packaging - just pull the end of the aramid cord and then secure it at the top of the probe. The conical approaches will help you assemble the probe easily and without snagging. When unfolding, you just need to easily release the Quick lock system. Controlling the probe is easy, even if you are wearing gloves.

• You can rely on the probe even in hard snow
• The diameter of the probe is 11 mm and provides sufficient rigidity.
• Aramid rope is strong, light and 6 times more durable than steel.
• The probe material is duralumin alloy 7075 Alu T6, which is used in the aviation industry and is characterized by high strength.
• The steel conical tip is wider than the diameter of the probe, thanks to which friction and freezing of the probe against the walls of the puncture is eliminated, which makes it easier to penetrate the snow with the probe.
• Sufficiently long but compact avalanche probe
• The probe length of 240 cm is sufficient even for large deposits in the avalanche zone
• 6 parts 43 cm long.
• The new Quick Lock system is simple and resistant to damage.
