Starting Operation
Switching on/off
Before switching on the measuring tool, ensure that the sensor area (6) is dry. If
u
necessary, use a cloth to dry the measuring tool.
If the measuring tool has been exposed to a significant change in temperature,
u
leave it to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching it on.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the on/off button (2). Follow the tips on using
the measuring tool. You can choose to disable the function that shows these detailed in-
structions every time the tool is switched on in the submenu <Tips>.
To switch off the measuring tool, press and hold the on/off button (2).
If no measurement takes place and no button is pressed on the measuring tool for
approx. 5 minutes, the measuring tool will switch off automatically to save the batteries.
How it works (see figure A)
The measuring tool checks the substrate of the sensor area (6) in the measurement dir-
ection z up to the maximum detection depth.
Select the operating mode you require.
Always move the measuring tool over the substrate in a straight line along the x-axis, ap-
plying light pressure, without lifting it off or changing the pressure. The wall sensor (8)
must be in uniform contact with the substrate in order for the measurement to be cor-
rect.
Hold the measuring tool by the gripping surface (9) with an even grip and do not touch
the sensor area (6) while taking measurements.
If the measuring tool receives a signal, this will be shown in the information area (b) and
the light-up ring (4) will light up yellow. Follow the additional instructions in the informa-
tion area. Note that moving over the substrate multiple times will detect objects more
precisely. If an object has been detected, this will be shown in the information area. The
light-up ring (4) will light up red and the tool will emit a sound.
The type of object found (depending on the operating mode) will be shown on the dis-
play:
– Power cable,
– Metal object,
– Substructure.
If no objects are found, the light-up ring (4) will remain green and nothing will be shown
on the display.
