ZERO MOTION PINPOINTING MODE
Target location is a snap using the Zero-Motion Pinpointing
mode. You do not have to keep the coil moving to get a
response in this mode.
1. Once the presence of a buried target is
indicated by the “beep-beep” of the 1266-X,
simply place the coil LIGHTLY on the ground,
away from the target area. Pull the TRIGGER-
SWITCH and hold. (At maximum sensitivity you
may hear a faint tone, which will disappear as
soon as the coil is raised. If the tone doesn’t
disappear, lower the sensitivity slightly.)
2. Raise the coil 1/2 half inch or so and move it
side to side across the target area a few times.
3. Stop the search coil over the center of the
response area.
4. Now move the coil slowly forward and back a
couple of times, again stopping in the center of
the response area.
5. Repeat one more time, moving the coil side to
side. Your target should be directly below the
open center of the search coil.
6. For quick and accurate pinpointing of strong
signals, place the coil on the ground very close
to the approximate target area and pull and hold
the trigger switch. You have now “tuned-out”
most of the target so you will only receive a
response directly over or very nearly over the
target.
PINPOINTING IN THE MOTION DISK MODES
Pinpointing in either DISC 1 or DISC 2 will take a little practice
but you may find that for most targets, it’s even quicker than
the Zero-Motion Pinpointing mode. Simply use the same
procedure as in steps 2 through 5 above. The only difference
will be that when you stop the coil over the target, you will
