1. Introduction
This document describes the 457 kHz transmitter TT2022 as well as the coupling layer template of the
company Girsberger.
2. Description
The 457 kHz transmitter TT2022 in combination with the coupling layer template made of technical
fabric is the perfect equipment for training the basic knowledge of three-antenna avalanche
transceivers, especially the basic knowledge on the subject of range. The range depends on the two
factors of reception characteristics and antenna orientation (coupling position) between transmitter
and receiver.
The transmitting power of the TT2022 is reduced by a factor of 10, which makes it possible to illustrate
at a short distance of 120 cm how the range in the search phases signal search and coarse search
depends on the coupling position and how this also affects the directional display in the receiving mode
(search).
3. Main Features
Ideal set for avalanche training on the subject of range and its dependence on the coupling position
Set consisting of a transmitter and a technical fabric with representations of three possible coupling
layer graphics as a template
Transmitter works on the international standard frequency of 457 kHz and is therefore compatible
with all avalanche transceivers
Transmitting field strength reduced by a factor of 10 compared to standard ETS 300718
Simple operation, immediately ready for use
Battery powered
Very long battery life
Small dimensions and weight
Electronics and design Design of the coupling layer templates Graphics developed and
manufactured in Switzerland (Girsberger Elektronik AG)
Housing developed and manufactured in Austria (Tyromont GmbH)
4. Avalanche Transceiver Operating Modes
4.1 Send / Senden
The Send / Senden mode is activated after switching on, and the avalanche transceiver is attached to
the body during the tour by means of a carrying system.
All avalanche transceiver a pulse in the form of electromagnetic waves (field lines) on the X antenna on
the internationally standardised frequency 457 kHz approx. once per second (pulse duration approx. 70
to 140 ms).
Note: Manufacturer-specific position-dependent switching from X to Y antenna possible!
However, these waves (field lines) are not directly visible and are difficult to visualise. On the coupling
layer template, the field lines and their course are therefore shown in simplified form as white lines
starting from the X antenna of the transmitter.
The closer the individual field lines are to each other (closer to the transmitter), the stronger the signal.

4.2 Search / Empfangen
The operating mode Search / Empfangen is activated after an avalanche for locating buried people, or
the unit is switched from transmitting to receiving (search). In this mode, the signal is received in the far
range (signal search, coarse search) with the X, Y and in the near range (fine search) with all three
antennas, processed and visually shown on the display as information for the searcher (distance and
direction indication).
5. Avalanche Transceiver Range, Coupling Position
The range of an avalanche transceiver depends on the coupling position (orientation) of a buried
avalanche transceiver to a searching avalanche transceiver. The information on the display (distance
and direction) of the searching transceiver depends on the intensity and direction of the magnetic field
lines at the location of the searching transceiver.
The transmitting and receiving characteristics of a transceiver are elliptical. Put simply, a transmitting
transceiver does not have the same transmitting power in all directions and a receiving transceiver does
not have the same receiving power from all directions, also due to the different and design-related sizes
of the X, Y and Z antenna.
6. Training - Procedure, Instructions
6.1 Choice of Location, Interferences
The location must be as free as possible from disturbances so that during the demonstration / training
the receiving operation of the avalanche transceiver to be used is not influenced.
All transceiver within a radius of 100 m must be switched off.
When using the coupling layer template on a table, make sure that there are no metal parts under the
tabletop. Preferably use a wooden table.
When using the coupling layer template on the floor, make sure that there are no metal parts or electrical
cables underneath.
6.2 Coupling Layer Template
Three possible and decisive coupling positions are shown on the coupling position template (see following
figure). It serves as a template and to position the TT2022 transmitter and an avalanche transceiver in
reception mode in alignment with each other, precisely and at a distance of distance of 120 cm.
First, the "good coupling position" is instructed, which is also used as a reference measurement.
Due to the reduced transmission power of the TT2022 (factor 10), a distance of 12 m is displayed on the
transceiver. Then the two other coupling positions are instructed.

6.3 Preparation
1. Lay out the coupling layer template on a table or on the floor
2. switch on TT2022 (insert battery)
3. switch on any transceiver and switch to search mode (only use three-antenna devices)
6.4 Instructions «Good Coupling»
Place the TT2022 and the avalanche transceiver on the coupling layer template as shown on the left
and align them
The transmitting and receiving antennas are positioned axially or coaxially to each other
In this "good coupling position" the maximum range is achieved
The direction indicator must point straight ahead
6.5 Instructions «Bad Coupling»
Place and align the TT2022 and the avalanche beacon according to the middle illustration on the
coupling layer template
The transmitting antenna is at right angles to the receiving antenna
In this "bad coupling position" a reduced range is achieved, thus a higher distance of several
metres is displayed on the transceiver
The direction indicator becomes unstable when aligned exactly 90° and will alternate between left
and right, but becomes stable on both sides when turned out slightly
6.6 Instructions «Worst Coupling»
Place the TT2022 and the avalanche transceiver vertically according to the illustration on the right
on the coupling layer template and align them
The transmitting antenna is vertical to the receiving antenna
In this "worst coupling position" an even shorter range is achieved, thus an even greater distance of
several metres is displayed on the transceiver
The direction indicator must point straight ahead
7. Compatibility
The TT2022 is compatible with all avalanche transceivers that comply with the EN300718 standard and
therefore operate on the 457 kHz frequency.
