AVALANCHE RESCUE & RECCO TECHNOLOGY
GLOBAL NETWORK OF HANDHELD DETECTORS
The RECCO® Reflector
The RECCO reflector makes you searchable to the rescuers. RECCO reflectors are lightweight passive transponders that require no power or activation to function. They consist of a diode and an antenna.
RECCO reflectors are integrated into products from more than 150 brands, including jackets, pants, helmets, backpacks, back protectors, boots, transceivers, and harnesses.
Reflectors are also available as single products to be attached to Helmets and Backpacks or within our own RECCO Belts
RECCO reflectors are designed to last a lifetime and do not age or wear out. If not mechanically damaged they will last forever.
The RECCO® Handheld Detector
The handheld detector can locate RECCO reflectors within a range up to 80 meters through air and 20 meters through packed snow, which results in a practical range of 30 meters on an avalanche debris. The current version of handheld detectors weighs 1 kg and the detectors are used worldwide by organized rescue as an additional electronic search method at avalanche rescues.
RECCO®SAR Helicopter Detector
The RECCO SAR (search and rescue) helicopter detector can cover large areas fast. Searching from a height of 100 meters and covering a search area of approximately 100 meters wide, the SAR detector enables rescuers to search 1km² within 6 minutes. The principle of locating a victim is the same as for the handheld detector with the detector sending a radar signal echoed back by the RECCO reflector. Upon receiving a returned signal, the rescuer can locate the lost individual.
How it works:
1. The RECCO detector emits a directional radar signal, like the beam of a flashlight.
2. When the radar signal hits the RECCO reflector, it is echoed back to the detector and points the rescuer in the direction of the victim.
3. The closer the detector gets to the reflector the stronger the returned-signal, ultimately allowing the rescuer to pinpoint the victim’s location.
AVALANCHE RESCUE & RECCO TECHNOLOGY
Knowledge and information are essential to preventing avalanche accidents. Being educated on avalanche safety and understanding the snowpack in your area can help reduce the risk of being in an avalanche. If you are unsure of your ability to travel in avalanche prone terrain, stay on marked ski runs and consider hiring a professionally certified guide.
When accessing avalanche terrain, it is recommended that:
YOU HAVE TAKEN AVALANCHE SAFETY COURSES
Education and training are critical to good decision making and avoiding more dangerous terrain.
YOU HAVE CHECKED THE DAILY AVALANCHE ADVISORY FOR YOUR AREA
Professionals in your area can help inform you on your local snowpack. Snowpack changes daily and advisories can help you plan your route.
YOU TRAVEL WITH EXPERIENCED PEOPLE
Experienced partners can help select less dangerous slopes and help in making the decision to walk away from a slope.
YOU PRACTICE AND ARE CONFIDENT USING YOUR RESCUE EQUIPMENT
Knowing how to use your beacon, setting up and knowing how to use your probe and proper digging protocol can make all the difference if involved in a rescue situation.
