Pinpointing in DISC Mode:
1) Sweep over target in narrowing side-to-side pattern.
2) Take visual note of spot on ground where “beep” occurs.
3) Step 90°to the side of the target.
4) Sweep search coil over same area, at 90°to 1
st
sweep pattern.
5) This pinpoints the target location with an “X”.
Target pinpointing
After you have identified a target using DISC Mode, press and hold the PINPOIN button
to identify the target’s exact location. This technique can yield more information about
the target’s shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:
1) Position the search coil just barely off the ground, and to the side of the target.
2) Now move the search coil slowly across the target; you can locate it by the sound. The
target is located directly under where the sound is loudest.
Narrow It Down:
1) To narrow the response further, position the centre of the search coil near the centre
of the response pattern, but not directly over the centre.
2) Release the PINPOINT button.
3) Press and hold the PINPOINT button.
4) Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection further.
NOTE: Depth indication is less accurate after narrowing.
Search coil drift:
If you plan to use the PINPOINT Mode for continuous searching,
realize that drift occur over time, causing the detector to gain or lose sensitivity. Periodic
returning of the detector is required to minimize drift; release and press PINPOINT again
to retune.
