COARS E SE ARC H

(1) As soon as the PIEPS DSP PRO ICE picks up
signals, the approximate distance and direction
appear in the display. Matchstick men represent the
number of burials within the range of the device.
Using the arrow and distance reading, follow the
strongest of the received signals along the field lines.
(2)
Move in the direction indicated by the PIEPS
DSP PRO ICE. The distance reading should become
progressively smaller. If it gets larger, switch the
search direction by 180°, i.e. turn round and follow
the opposite direction.

(1) When you are closer than 5 m to the burial, it is strongly recommended to reduce your
moving speed (50 cm/sec). Keep the PIEPS DSP PRO ICE as close as possible to the surface
of the snow to have the minimum distance to the transmitting beacon.
(2) To avoid confusion, the direction indication is suppressed at distances less than 2 m. Make
an exact last direction correction before the directional arrows are suppressed.
(3) Reduce your moving speed again (10 cm/sec). Continue in the last displayed direction.
If the distance reading starts increasing again, move back to the point with the lowest
distance reading. At this point, try to get the lowest distance reading, using cross-like
movements (90°). Repeat the cross-like approach as long as no lower distance reading can
be determined. Do not rotate your PIEPS DSP PRO ICE during the cross-like movements.
The PIEPS DSP PRO ICE only shows one minimum pertaining to any orientation of the
transmitting beacon.
The dynamic acoustic signal supports the fine search: The closer the searcher gets to the
victim the beacons tone will become a faster pace/higher pitch.
Important! Before the direction arrows are suppressed,
the last distance correction has to be done exactly. You are
then moving to the transmitting beacon in best coupling
position and save time during the cross-like movements. In
the case of a deep burial it could happen that the minimum
direction indication is higher than 2 m!
Important! It's strongly re-
commended to avoid hasty move-
ments (move approx. 10 cm/sec)
and avoid turning and rotating the
PIEPS DSP PRO ICE.
