PINPOINTING
PUSHBUTTON PINPOINT MODE
Target location is quick and easy using the push-button Pinpoint
mode. You do not have to keep the coil moving to get a
response in this mode.
1.
Once the presence of a target is indicated by the
“beep-beep” of your CZ-3D, simply move the coil
away from the target area, and with the coil lightly
on the ground or very close to it, press and hold
the PINPOINT button. It doesn’t matter which mode
you’re searching in, Autotune or Target ID.
2.
As you bring the coil back into the target area, still
pressing the PINPOINT button, the audio volume and
pitch will increase and the meter needle will swing
to the right.
3.
When the needle, pitch and volume are at their
highest points, stop the coil and move it forward
and backward a couple of times, again stopping
over the strongest response.
4.
Repeat one more time, side to side and then front to
back, keeping the PINPOINT button pushed in and
stopping over the spot where you get the maximum
volume, pitch and meter reading. Your target should
be directly below the center of your search coil.
With a little practice, you’ll find that you don’t even
need to look at the meter unless you want a depth
reading.
NOTE
:
For quick and accurate pinpointing of strong
signals from large or shallow targets, push and hold
the pinpoint button with the coil very close to the
approximate target area. This will “tune-out” most of
your target so you will receive a response directly over
it. You may also try reducing the sensitivity level and/
or raising the coil so you can barely hear the signal.
For very weak signals, make sure you press the
PINPOINT button with the coil completely out of the
target area. You may also try moving the coil closer to
the ground or increasing the sensitivity and volume
levels.
