- Wood beams
- Electric cables (irrespective of whether the cables are live or not)
- Three-phase electric cables (e.g. for electric cookers)
- Low-voltage cables (e.g. for doorbells or telephones)
2.4 Materials suitable for scanning
- Concrete / steel reinforced concrete
- Masonry (brick, cellular concrete, expanded concrete, pumice concrete, sand-lime block)
- Materials beneath surfaces such as plaster, tiles, wallpaper, parquet, carpet
- Wood, plasterboard / gypsum board
2.5 Scanning limitations
Due to the scanning principle employed, certain unfavorable circumstances may negatively affect the result:
- Multiple layers on walls or floors
- Empty plastic pipes in hollow brick, wood beams in cavities and in drywall partitions
- Objects that run through the wall at an angle
- Metal surfaces and damp areas; under certain circumstances, these may be detected as objects in the material
being scanned
- Cavities in the material being scanned; these may be detected as objects
- Proximity to appliances that emit powerful magnetic or electromagnetic fields, e.g. mobile or cordless phone base
stations and generators
