Surface Differences; Specifications - Stanley IntelliSensor Pro User Manual

Surface Differences
Wallpaper — There will be no difference in
the function of the stud sensor on surfaces
covered with wallpaper or fabric unless the
coverings contain metallic foil or fibres.
Plaster and Lath — Unless the plaster and
lath is exceptionally thick or has metal
mesh in it there will be no problem with the
unit functioning properly.
Ceiling or Textured Surfaces — When
dealing with a rough surface such as a
sprayed ceiling, use a piece of cardboard
when scanning the surface. Run through
the calibration technique described earlier
WITH the piece of cardboard between the
stud sensor and the surface. Also, it is
particularly important in this application to
remember to keep your free hand away
from the unit.

When measuring a wood or metal stud, it is
recommended the IntelliSensor™ Pro be
used at 30-50% relative humidity.
