To switch on the measuring tool, press either the on/off button (8) or the red start
button (16).
To switch off the measuring tool, press the on/off button (8) again.
If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. 5 minutes and the measuring
tool is not moved, the measuring tool will automatically switch itself off to preserve bat-
tery life. You can change the switch-off time in the main menu (see "Main Menu",
page 27).

Overview of the measuring modes

The measuring tool has the following measuring modes:
– <Object Detection>: For detecting objects in walls, floors and ceilings,
– <Leakage Detection>: For detecting leaks,
– <Distance Measurement>: For measuring distances.
You can change the measuring mode in the main menu (see "Main Menu", page 27).
Measuring Mode <Object Detection>

How it Works

The measuring tool checks the substrate of the sensor area. Objects that are different
from the material of the wall are detected.
If multiple objects are located over each other in the wall, the display will indicate the ob-
ject whose surface is nearest to the measuring tool.
Detectable objects
– Plastic pipes (e.g. water-filled plastic pipes, such as underfloor or wall heating pipes,
etc. with a diameter of at least 10 mm, or empty pipes with a diameter of at least
20 mm in solid surrounding material)
– Electrical cables (regardless of whether live or not)
– Three-phase power cables (e.g. to oven)
– Low-voltage cables (e.g. doorbell, telephone, network, smart home)
– All types of metal pipe, rod or carrier (e.g. steel, copper, aluminium)
– Reinforcing steel
– Wooden beams
– Cavities
Special measuring cases
Unfavourable conditions fundamentally impair the measuring result:
– Multi-layered walls
– Empty plastic pipes and wooden beams in cavities and lightweight partition walls
