The direction of a found object in a wall can be determined by
carrying out several offset measurements one after another
(see figure I and "Examples for Measuring Results", page 19).
Mark and connect the respective measuring points.
By pressing the start button 11, the display of the objects
found can be deleted at any time and a new measurement
started.
 Before drilling, sawing or routing into a wall, protect
yourself against hazards by using other information
sources. As the measuring results can be influenced
through ambient conditions or the wall material, there may
be a hazard even though the indicator does not indicate an
object in the sensor range (no audio signal or beep and and
the LED 17 lit green).
Changing the Operating Modes
Changing between different operating modes is possible with
selection buttons 10 and 12.
– Briefly press selection button 10 to select the next operat-
ing mode.
– Briefly press selection button 12 to select the previous op-
erating mode.
By selecting the operating modes, you can adapt the measur-
ing tool to different wall materials. The current setting is al-
ways shown in the operating-mode indication h of the display.
Concrete Universal (preset)
The operating mode "Concrete Universal" is suitable for
most applications in brickwork or concrete. Plastic and metal
objects as well as electrical wiring are displayed. Hollow spac-
es in brickwork or empty plastic pipes with a diameter of less
than 2 cm are possibly not displayed. The maximum measur-
ing depth is 8 cm.
Concrete Wet
The operating mode "Concrete Wet" is particularly suitable
for applications in wet concrete. Reinforcing steel, plastic and
metal pipes, as well as electrical wiring are displayed. Differ-
entiating between "live" and voltage-free conductors is not
possible. The maximum detection depth is 6 cm.
Please observe that concrete requires several months to dry
completely.
Concrete Special
The operating mode "Concrete Special" is particularly suita-
ble for detecting objects embedded deep in reinforced con-
crete. Reinforcing steel, plastic and metal pipes, as well as
electrical wiring are displayed. The maximum measuring
depth is 15 cm.
When too many objects are displayed, it may be possible that
you are moving directly alongside a reinforcement rod. In this
case, place the measuring tool a few centimetres aside and try
again.
Panel Heating
The operating mode "Panel Heating" is particularly suitable
for detecting metal, metal-composite and water-filled plastic
pipes, as well as for electrical wiring. Empty plastic pipes are
not displayed. The maximum measuring depth is 8 cm.

Drywall
The operating mode "Drywall" is suitable for finding wooden
beams, metal framing and electrical wiring in drywalls (wood,
gypsum board, etc.). Filled plastic pipes and wooden beams
are displayed identically. Empty plastic pipes are not detect-
ed. The maximum measuring depth is 8 cm.
Metal
The operating mode "Metal" is suitable for detecting metal
objects and "live" conductors when other operating modes in
different wall situations do not provide satisfactory results. In
such cases, the detection results will be more extensive, yet
less precise.
Signal View Mode
The operating mode "Signal View" is suitable for all materi-
als. The signal strength at the corresponding detection posi-
tion is displayed. In this operating mode, objects close to
each other can be precisely detected and complicated mate-
rial structures can be better evaluated based on the charac-
teristic of the signal.

Prev. Signal View
The summit of the curve is displayed in the small scale above
the operating-mode indication h in the form of a U. The object
depth and the material properties (as far as possible) are dis-
played. The maximum measuring depth is 15 cm.
 Conclusions on the object depth cannot be drawn from
the signal strength.
Changing the Display Modes
Note: Changing the display modes is possible in any operat-
ing mode.
To switch from the standard start display to rule mode, press
and hold selection button 10 or 12.
