Pinpoint
Locate a Target
Once a target has been detected, the manual pinpointing technique locates the exact position before digging. This means less digging and faster recovery of the target.
-
Sweep the coil slowly across the target location keeping the coil parallel to the ground.
- Locate the center of the target by listening for the loudest target signal response.
- Make a mental note of the position or mark a line on the soil with your shoe or a digging tool.
- Move to one side so that you can pass the coil over the target at right angles to your initial direction.
- Repeat steps 1 and 3 from your new position. The target is located where the two imaginary lines cross.
Depth Gauge
The Depth Gauge indicates the approximate depth of a detected target. The Depth Gauge is a guide only. Fewer arrows indicate a shallower target, more arrows indicate a deeper target. The accuracy can vary depending on the target type and ground conditions. After a target is detected, the Depth Gauge will remain on the LCD for up to 5 seconds, or until the next target is detected. When there is no detection, the Depth Gauge icon, and arrows are turned off.
