INSTRUMENTS
ally decrease. A loud tone sounds when the instrument detects the object. If the object is located in the center of sensor area, the
icon f will appear on the display. The instrument makes a steady sound and the green light is lit.
Scanning for "live" wires
Press button 7 two times to activate "live" wires mode. The icon b appears on the display. Make the calibration if there is a sound
alarm, red light indicator and the instrument can't detect the "live" wires.
Calibration: Place the instrument on nonmetallic surface or keep it in the hand far away from any materials. Press the metal
button 7 until you hear sound alarm and green light is lit. Sound alarm and green light indicator show that the calibration has
been finished. Release button 7 to detect metal objects.
The detector can detect 50 or 60 Hz (HZ) AC live power cables, other wires can only be indicated as metal objects.
Move the measuring tool over the surface repeatedly in order to determine the specific location of the live cables. After moving
the measuring tool over the surface several times, the detector is able to pinpoint the hiding place of "live" wires/conductor.
There is a red light indicator when the measuring tool is very close to the live wire. Signal tone sound with a rapid tone se-
quence. "Live"wires/conductors can be detected easier when power consumers (e.g., lamps, appliances) are connected to the
wire/conductor being sought and switched on. Wires/conductors with 110 V, 240V and 380 V (three-phase current) are detected
with about the same scan capacity.

Operating Instructions

In accordance with the principles of tool operation, the measuring values can be impaired through certain ambient
conditions. These include, e.g. the proximity of other equipment that produce strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields,
moisture, metallic building materials. Foil-laminated insulation materials or conductive wallpaper. Therefore, please
also observe other information sources (e.g. construction plans) before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings
or floors.
