ZERO MOTION PINPOINT MODE

The pinpoint mode requires no tuning, no motion, detects

all metals and in normal soil it’s even more sensitive than the

search mode. Precise target location is a snap.

1. Once the presence of a buried target is

identified by the “beep beep” of the 1225-X,

simply place the coil lightly on the ground away

from the target area. Push the PINPOINT button

and hold. (At maximum sensitivity you may hear a

faint tone which will disappear as soon as the coil

is raised.)

2. Raise the coil one-half inch or so and move

it from side to side across the target area a few

times.

3. Stop the search coil over the spot you receive

the loudest response.

4. Now move the coil slowly forward and back a

couple of times, again stopping over the strongest

response.

5. Move the coil side to side one more time and

stop over the strongest signal once again. Your

target should be in the center of the search coil.

6. For quick and accurate pinpointing of strong

signals, place the coil on the ground very close

to the target and push and hold the PINPOINT

button. You have now “tuned-out” most of the

target signal so that when you raise the coil for

pinpointing you will only receive a response

directly over or very nearly over the target.
