Operating Instructions Stud Scan • Select STUD SCAN mode and place the instrument against the wall. Press and hold TEST button until the unit gives two short beeps. Slowly move the unit sideways across the wall while pressing and holding the TEST button.
• We recommend carrying out metal/voltage detection to make sure the detected batten or wood stud is not a piece of pipe or cable. Please note that some small securing screws or nails may be detected. • To avoid disturbance, keep your other hand away from the unit when in use. Metal Scan • Select METAL SCAN mode. While holding this unit away from any metal objects, hold the TEST button until the unit gives two short beeps.
AC Scan For maximum sensitivity, begin by placing this unit at a known position away from hot wiring. • Select AC SCAN mode. While holding this unit away from any metal objects, hold the TEST button until the unit gives two short beeps. Place it on the wall and slowly move it across the surface. • When the center bar appears, stop moving. It means this unit detects an edge of a metal object. Mark this spot at the groove. • Continue moving in the same direction until the center bar turns off, and then, still holding the button, reverse direction and locate the other edge.
Operating Tips Conventional Construction Doors and windows are commonly constructed with additional studs and headers for added stability. This unit detects the edge of these double studs and solid headers and emits and holds an audio signal as it crosses over them.
Note: Detection depth and edge detection may vary due to moisture content of materials, wall texture, paint, etc. Battery Replacement When the “ ” symbol appears, it means that the battery is low and should be replaced. Remove the battery door, connect a 9V battery to cable and place inside. Replace battery door.
