SEARCH mode / close search
Once you have approached the victim quickly with the rough search, the PIEPS DSP
really comes into its own thanks to its advanced triple-antenna system.
When you are closer than 3 m to the victim, you can start locating the position point by
point. To avoid confusion, the direction display is now suppressed (point 1). Continue
moving in the same direction and follow the plan on the left.
After a certain point, the distance reading will start to increase again (point 2). From
this point, move sideways (90°) without turning your body or the device. If the value
increases unexpectedly, move in the opposite direction (point 3).Along this theoretical
axis, you will find the minimum point of the distance reading (point 4). Mark this point in
the snow and continue at a right angle from here (90°) as already described.
You have now detected the absolute minimum point (point 5) and located the victim.
IMPORTANT: Throughout this procedure, keep the device horizontal in the
same position without rotating it, and keep it as close as possible to the surface
of the snow !
