Operating Modes - BTI Profiline Multi Finder Operating Instructions Manual

To switch on switch on the measuring tool on, press any button.
When switching the measuring tool on with the wood-detection button
5 or with the metal-detection button 6, it will automatically be in the
respective detection function.
When switching the measuring tool on with the "on/off" button 7 or with
the "ZOOM" button 4, it will be in the detection function last used.
After a brief self-check, the measuring tool is ready for operation. When
the measuring tool is in the metal-detection function, the service readi-
ness is indicated through a check mark behind the "AutoCal" calibra-
tion indicator g.
To switch the measuring tool off, press the "on/off" button 7.
If none of the measuring tool buttons are pressed for approx. 5 minutes,
the measuring tool switches off automatically in order to extend the serv-
ice life of the battery.

Operating Modes

The measuring tool detects objects below the sensor area 9.
Detecting Metal Objects
When scanning for metal objects, press the metal-detection button 6.
The metal detection indicator symbol c is indicated in the display and the
illuminated ring 1 lights up green.
Position the measuring tool onto the surface to be
scanned and move it sidewards. When the measuring
tool comes close to a metal object, then the amplitude
of the measuring indicator f increases; when it moves
away from the object, the amplitude decreases. At the
position of maximum amplitude, the metal object is
located below the centre of the sensor (below the mark-
ing opening 2). As long as the measuring tool is above
the metal object, the illuminated ring 1 lights up red and
a steady tone sounds.
To localise the object precisely, press the "ZOOM" but-
ton 4 and keep it pressed while repeatedly (3x) moving
the measuring tool over the object. The "Zoom" function
indicator d appears in the display. The "Zoom" measur-
ing indicator e has the greatest amplitude over the cen-
tre of the metal object.
When very small or deeply embedded metal objects are
being detected and the measuring indicator f does not
react, press the "ZOOM" button 4 and keep it pressed while continuing
to move the measuring tool over the area. Observe only the zoom meas-
uring indicator e for the scan.
If there are any metal inclusions in the material being scanned, then a
continuous signal is indicated in the measuring indicator f. In this case,
press the "ZOOM" button 4 and keep it pressed while continuing to
move the measuring tool over the area. Observe only the "Zoom" meas-
uring indicator e for the scan.
If the metal object found is a magnetic (e.g. iron), then the indicator for
magnetic metals i is displayed. For non-magnetic metals, the indicator
for non-magnetic metals j is displayed. In order for the measuring tool to
differentiate between the metal types, it must be positioned above the
detected metal object (the illuminated ring 1 lights up red). For weak sig-
nals, the indication of the metal type is not possible.
