PINPOINT LOCATION:
The sensors, the 3 reception antennas and the paten-
ted circular illustration on the S1 simplify pinpoint
location and make it more precise.
The process of pinpoint location begins automatically
at a distance of 3m. The search is approaching the
victim: the arrows show towards the centre of the cir-
cle. The closer he comes to the victim the faster the
acoustic signal sounds.
Hold the S1 steady in front of you. Do not turn, tip,
or rotate the S1 during pinpoint location!
The searcher is approaching the victim:
the distance is 2m, the circle becomes smaller and
the arrows are pointing to the centre of the circle.
The searcher is moving away from the victim.
The circle becomes larger, the arrows are pointing
outwards as the distance increases.
The previously achieved, closer position is stored and is
referenced by the inner, lighter circle shown on the screen.
The searcher is once again approaching the victim.
The circle is becoming smaller, the arrows are pointing
to the centre and the distance to the victim is reducing.
The victim has been buried at a depth of 0.9m.
No smaller numbers and no smaller circles are visible.
Use the select button (confirmation button) to mark
the beacon.
The first victim has been found and is marked using
the confirmation button (“select”, 7).
Now the search can begin for the second and third
victims (at distances of 10m and 15m respectively).
COARSE SEARCH:
If there is no transmission signal being received then the
screen will automatically display instructions to carry out
a coarse search. Search the avalanche track in search
strips of 40m!
REFINING LOCATION:
At approximately 55 m distance from the victim the
victim symbol will appear on the display screen (2)
with the digital distance measurement “55”.
The searcher aims the vertical line to the middle of
the victim symbol and then moves towards the victim.
The acoustic signal from the loudspeaker will sound
faster as the distance reduces and thus confirm the
measurement result.
The S1 should be moved deliberately and precisely,
the closer to the victim.
The distance to the victim is now 20m. Two further
victims are shown at distances of 25m and 30m.
Press both release
buttons (6) at the same
time and open the S1.
The search situation will
be displayed automati-
cally on the screen (2).
RECEIVE = SEARCH:
Hold the S1 in a horizontal (flat) position during the search! Do Not Rotate!
