4.6.5 Pinpointing
Begin at the point of the lowest distance indicated. Always probe
perpendicular to the surface. Use your lower hand as a “probe
guide” to ensure the probe follows a steady path. Follow a proven
system until you have a hit. Communicate a hit clearly to
companions. Leave the probe stuck for shoveling guidance.
The PIEPS iPROBE supports perfectly through an optical and acoustic hit indication within
50cm to the burial.
4.6.6 Multiple burials | MARK function
A multiple burial is indicated clearly on the display by the number of small human figures (2G, 2H).
Marking is possible from a distance reading of 5 m and is indicated by the MARK symbol (2E). Press the button
MARK (1D) briefly to “hide” the localized transmitter. A successful flagging is confirmed by a frame around the
human figure (2J). The display then indicates the direction/distance to the next strongest signal inside the
receiving range. If there are no further signals within the receiving range the display indicates “no signal”.
De-mark a single signal: press the button MARK
(1D) for 3 seconds.
De-mark all: switch to send mode and then back
to search mode. With the PIEPS PRO BT you can
also use the SCAN function for a full reset.
Continuous wave indication | old-device-indication
Old analog transceivers are transmitting a continuous wave in addition to the pulse signal. To keep an impact at
a minimum, it is recommended to step a few meters away after marking such a transmitter.
Signal without continuous wave
Signal with continuous wave
The PIEPS beacon identifies a continuous wave and supports
visually by flashing human figures.
