Pinpoint is to find the center or the exact location of a detected target.
RACER
is a motion detector, in other words, you are required to move the search coil over the
target or the target over the search coil in order for the device to detect the target. The pinpoint
mode is a non-motion mode. The device continues to give a signal when the search coil is kept
still over the target, too.
Ground balance shall be performed properly in order to ensure precision of pinpointing. It is
recommended to perform ground balance again before performing pinpoint operation on
changing ground structures.
In the pinpoint mode, estimated target distance information is shown on the display. In the
pinpoint mode, the signal tone increases in pitch and volume as the search coil approaches the
target. In this mode, the device does not discriminate or give target IDs. If the device is in the
vibration mode, the speed of vibration will increase as you get closer to the center of target.
1. After a target is detected, move the search coil aside where there is no target response and
pull the trigger back.
2. Keep the trigger pulled and bring the search coil closer to the target slowly and parallel to the
ground.
3. Signal sound becomes stronger and changes in pitch while getting closer to the target center
and also the number indicating target distance on the display decreases.
4. Mark the position which provides the loudest sound using a tool or your foot.
5. Repeat the above procedure by changing your direction 90°. Actions to be performed from a
couple of different directions will narrow the target area and provide you with the most exact
details of the target position.
