(1)
When you are closer than 5m to the burial, it's strongly recommended to reduce your
moving speed to max. 1 footstep per reading update (depends on the type of buried
beacons, approx. 0,5 - 1,3 sec.). Keep the PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour 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 2m.
Following your last known direction, move ahead until the distance reading starts
increasing again. Return to the point with the minimum distance reading.
(3)
Starting at this point, try to get the lowest distance reading, using cross-like movements.
(4)
On indication of further reduced distance readings, tracking on one of the four possible
directions, follow this direction until the distance reading starts increasing again. At this
point repeat the cross-like approach as long as no increasing distance reading can be
determined. Independent of the position of the transmitting beacon, the PIEPS DSP/DSP
Tour only shows one minimum!
IMPORTAnT! It's strongly
recommended to avoid hasty
movements (move approx.
20-40 cm/sec). The dynamic
acoustic signal (the nearer the
faster) supports the ine search.

Mu LT IP LE Bu RIAL S

The optimized multiple burial search is based on a separation of signals via the digital
signal processor (DsP).
(1)
If there are multiple burials, this is clearly indicated by the number of matchstick men.
(2)
By default, the PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour will automatically search for the strongest signal.
Once the position of the irst burial has been located, press the button MARK for approx. 3
(3)
seconds without moving away from this point. This signal is now suppressed. Once a signal
has been successfully suppressed, an outline appears around the matchstick man.
(4)
The PIEPS DSP/DSP Tour will automatically search for the second strongest signal.
(5)
Now continue the search as described above and repeat the procedures until all
transmitters are located.
IMPORTAnT! In case of multiple
burials involving older analogue devices,
faults may at worst occur which impair
the eficiency of the digital signal
separation. In such cases, you may ind
for a short time that more signals are
displayed than actually exist. The display
„number of burials" starts lashing.
Repeat the procedure.
MaRK reset: All information from previously suppressed
signals is now reset and you can start with MARK again. To
reset the MARK function switch off your PIEPS DSP/DSP
Tour for a short time or switch it into SEND-mode and then
back to SEARCH-mode. With the PIEPS DSP you also have
the possibility to reset MARK with the following described
SCAN-function.
