Zircon MultiScanner x85 Manual

GB
This MultiScanner x85 OneStep
®
• STUD SCAN: Locates the centre, edges, and direction of wood and metal studs up to 25 mm deep
• DEEPSCAN : Locates the centre, edges, and direction of wood and metal studs up to 50 mm deep*
®
• AC: Detects and locates live unshielded AC wires up to 50 mm deep
• THERMAL: Thermally detects the centre of actively heated water-filled 13 mm diameter plastic pipes up to 50 mm deep
TROUBLESHOOTING & CONSTRUCTION TIPS
SITUATION
Detects other objects
besides studs in STUD SCAN/
DEEPSCAN mode.
®
Finds more targets than
there should be.
Constant readings of studs
near windows and doors.
Area of voltage appears
much larger than actual wire
(AC only).
You suspect electrical wires,
but do not detect any.
In THERMAL mode,
constant Centre Indication
or no indication at all.
Unit behaves erratically or
provides inconsistent results.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
This tool requires three new AAA (LR03) batteries.
To install or replace the batteries, locate the battery door on
the lower backside of the tool. Press battery door tab in and
lift up. Remove old batteries, if needed, and insert three new
AAA batteries, matching the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals according to diagram on tool. Lower battery door and
snap shut.
Upon insertion of batteries, the tool will automatically power on.
The blue backlit LCD screen will illuminate and the MODE icon
will power up. The Battery Strength Indicator will appear and the
Signal Strength Indicator bars will slowly ramp down during the
calibration process. The SpotLite
will beep once to indicate the calibration process is complete.
Low Battery Indication: The Battery Strength Indicator icon
displays the battery level. When the battery icon drops down to
one bar, the battery level is too low for proper operation of the
MultiScanner x85. Please replace all three AAA batteries as the
®
tool will not operate correctly when the battery level is too low.
When the battery icon begins to flash, the battery level is not
sufficient to power the tool and the tool's findings should not
be considered accurate. Please replace all three batteries with a
new set immediately.
Battery Saving Mode: Tool will automatically shut off after
3 minutes of non-use. To manually power off the tool, press and
hold the MODE button for approximately 2 seconds.

MultiScanner
Multifunction Wall Scanner
wall scanner features four (4) scanning modes:
®
LIKELY CAUSE
• Electrical wiring and metal/plastic pipes
may be near or touching back surface of wall.
• In STUD SCAN mode or AC mode, the unit
is lifted off the wall during scanning or the
user's hand is not continuously on the unit
during the entire test.
Double and triple studs are usually found
around doors and windows. Solid headers
are above them.
Voltage detection can spread on drywall as
much as 30 cm laterally from each side of an
actual electrical wire.
• Wires may not be live.
• Wires are close to metal door frame or
shielded by metal conduit, a braided
wire layer, or metallic wall covering.
• Wires deeper than 50 mm from surface
might not be detected.
• Changes in temperature is very minimal.
• Speed of scanning may not be at its
optimal pace.

• Scan the area in AC mode to determine if hot AC
is present.
• Check for other studs equally spaced to either side
31, 41, or 61 cm apart or for the same stud at several
places directly above or below the first scan area.
• Do not lift unit off the wall and and keep hand
continuously on unit during the entire scanning time.
Calibrate farther away from the window or door so you
can accurately detect the studs.
To narrow detection, recalibrate the x85 within the area
where the AC field peak or highest AC indication was
first observed and scan again.
• Turn on switches to outlets.
• Plug a lamp into outlet and turn on switch.
*Note: MultiScanner™ x85 cannot scan for wires
close to metal door frame, shielded by metal conduit
or layer, or located deeper than 50 mm. Verify these
conditions before scanning.
• Turn up radiant heating setting so changes in
temperature are more recognizable.
• Speed of scanning must be at a brisk, continuous
pace (approx. 30 cm per second) in this particular mode;
scanning at a very slow and deliberate speed is too
slow and and scanning at a faster pace is not optimal.
• Do not place any body part, such as hands, elbows,
arms, or feet on the test surface or close to the
testarea. Shoes must be worn when scanning flooring.
A handprint can be detected for up to 20 seconds or
longer after the hand has been removed.
Replace with all three brand new AAA (LR03) batteries.
OPERATING TIPS
For optimum scanning results, it is important
to properly hold the MultiScanner
move slowly when scanning in STUD SCAN,
DEEPSCAN , and AC modes, and scan briskly in
®
Thermal mode. The following tips will provide
more accurate scanning results:
• Grasp the handle with your thumb on one
side and your fingers on the other side.
Make sure your fingertips are not touching
the surface being scanned or the scanning
head of the tool.
• Keep a firm and steady grip on the tool and allow it to
calibrate. Moving finger placement will affect the calibration.
Press the MODE button once to recalibrate, if necessary.
• Hold the tool straight up and down, parallel to the studs,
and do not rotate the tool.
• Keep tool flat against the surface and do not rock, tilt, or press
hard when slowly sliding across the surface being scanned.
• Avoid placing your other hand, or any other part of your body,
on the surface being scanned. This will interfere with the
tool's performance.
If you're receiving erratic scanning results, it may be a result of
humidity, moisture within the wall cavity or drywall, or recently
applied paint or wallpaper that hasn't fully dried. While the
moisture may not always be pvisible, it will interfere with the
tool's sensors. Please allow a few days for the wall to dry out.
