– Press and hold button 1 until the illuminated ring lights up green.
– When starting a new measuring procedure afterwards and positioning the
measuring tool onto a different wall or surface, you must briefly press
button 1.
– In rare cases, the measuring tool may not be able to detect the base material
because the side with the sensor area 11 and the type plate 12 is soiled or
dirty. Clean the measuring tool with a dry, soft cloth and restart the measuring
procedure.
When the indication k (non-magnetic metal) or i (magnetic metal) is alternately
displayed at a measuring position in operating mode "Drywall", you should
change to the operating mode "Metal", which is better suitable for detecting and
differentiating between magnetic and non-magnetic objects.
Metal
The operating mode "Metal" is suitable for detecting magnetic and non-
magnetic objects as well as "live" conductors (independent of the wall material).
Press button 6 to activate the operating mode "Metal". The illuminated ring 9
lights up green and indication j lights up.
When the detected metal object is of magnetic metal (e.g. iron), the symbol i is
indicated on display 7. For non-magnetic metals, the symbol k is indicated. In
order to differentiate between metal types, the measuring tool must be posi-
tioned above the detected metal object (ring 9 is lit red).
Note: For reinforcement steel mesh and steel in the examined base material, an
amplitude is indicated over the complete surface of measuring indicator f. For
reinforcement steel mesh, it is typical that the symbol i for magnetic metal is in-
dicated on the display directly above the iron rods, whereas between the iron
rods, the symbol k for non-magnetic metal will appear.
Scanning for "Live" Wires
"Live" conductors are indicated in any operating mode.
When a "live" conductor is detected, indication a appears on the display 7 and
the measuring indicator c deflects. Move the measuring tool repeatedly over the
area to localise the "live" conductor more precisely. After moving over the "live"
conductor several times, it can be indicated very accurately. When the measur-
ing tool is very close to the conductor, the illuminated ring 9 flashes red and the
audio signal beeps swiftly.
Notes:
– "Live" conductors can be detected easier when power consumers (e.g.
lamps, machines) are connected to the sought conductor and switched on.
– Under certain conditions (such as below metal surfaces or behind sur-
faces with high water content), "live" conductors cannot be securely de-
tected. The signal strength of a "live" conductor depends on the position of
the cable. Therefore, apply further measurements in close proximity or use
other information sources to check if a "live" conductor exists.
– Voltage-free conductors can be detected as metal objects in the operation
mode "Metal". This does not apply for stranded conductors (contrary to solid
conductors or cable).
– Static electricity can lead to electric lines being indicated inaccurately, e.g.
over a large area, or not at all. To improve the indication, place your free hand
flat on the wall next to the measuring tool, in order to remove the static elec-
tricity.
