Pinpoint - Nokta Simplex LITE User Manual

PINPOINT

Pinpoint is to find the center or the exact location of a
detected target.
SIMPLEX is a motion detector. In other words, you are
required to move the search coil over the target or the
target over the search coil in order for the device to
detect the target. The pinpoint mode is a non-motion
mode. The device continues to give a signal when the
search coil is kept stationary over the target.
When the pinpoint button is pressed and held down,
a graphics consisting of a dot surrounded by 4 circles
will appear in the middle of the screen. As the target is
approached, the circles will disappear one by one and
when the center of the target is reached, only the dot
will be left on screen. In the pinpoint mode, the signal
tone increases in pitch and volume as the search coil
approaches the target. In this mode, the device does
not discriminate or give target IDs.
To perform pinpoint:
1) After a target is detected, move the search coil
aside where there is no target response and push the
pinpoint button.
2) Keep the button pressed down and bring the search
coil closer to the target slowly and parallel to the
ground.

3) Signal sound becomes stronger and changes in pitch
while getting closer to the target center and the circles
start disappearing in the pinpoint graphics.
4) Mark the position which provides the loudest sound
using a tool or your foot.
5) Repeat the above procedure by changing your
direction 90°. Actions to be performed from a couple
of different directions will narrow the target area and
provide you with the most exact details of the target
location.
NOTE: Inexperienced users may put the search coil on
the ground, press the pinpoint button and then scan
over the target until they get experienced to perform
the above pinpointing method.
