-PinpointMode

In the Pinpoint Mode, coil sweep technique is not important. Rather, user retuning is critical.

The detector does not automatically adjust to changing ground and environmental conditions; the operator is required to make the adjustment. If the detector sounds a constant tone over all areas of the ground, retune the detector by pressing the PINPOINT button.

RETUNING

Keep the coil still, just above the ground surface, and press the PINPOINT button. Make sure that the spot on the ground you chose for tuning did not contain metal; pass over the area with the coil again to insure that the detector does not emit a tone.

TEMPERATURE CHANGE

If the detector moves from one temperature environment to another, or if the temperature changes, you must retune the detector until the temperature stabilizes. If you move from a cooler to a warmer environment, the detector may emit a constant tone; if so, retune. If you move from a warmer to cooler environment, the detector may lose sensitivity; if so, retune.

PINPOINTING

Detection Field

The detection field depends on the size of the target.

Large Objects

After detecting a target, lift the coil off the ground to a

distance where you hear the faintest tone. Move the coil over the ground at this height. If the tone does not fade, you have detected a large or irregularly shaped object. Outline the object with slow coil movements.

If you can outline an area larger than the size of the inside coil, you then have a large target, or several targets.

Large objects can be detected when they enter the range of the outside coil.

Small Objects

After detecting a target, hold the search coil above the ground, at a distance where you hear the faintest tone. While maintaining the coil at this height above

the ground, move the coil from side-to-side. Note the spot where the tone is loudest. Then move the coil toward the ground to zero-in on the target’s location.

A coin-size object will be detected when the object enters the range of the inner coil.
