The detector’s ability to detect objects
is affected by the proximity of other
equipment that produce strong magnetic
or electromagnetic fields, and by moisture,
metallic building materials, foil-laminated
insulation materials and/or conductive
wallpaper.
The detector’s ability to detect wood
substructures (studs) is also affected by
inconsistency on the thickness of the surface
material, such as plaster and lath.
It is possible that there may be metal, wood
or wiring or something else, such as plastic
pipes, beneath the scanned surface that is
not detected.
T h e d e t e c t o r a l o n e
should not be relied on
exclusively to locate items below the
scanned surface. The on display may
also represent water-filled plastic pipes.
Use other information sources to help locate
items before penetrating the surface. Such
additional sources include construction
plans, visible points of entry of pipes and
wiring into walls, such as in a basement, and
standard 16” and 24” stud spacing practices.
Before penetrating a
surface (such as with
a drill, router, saw or nail), always shut
off the electrical power, gas and water
supplies. Cutting, drilling, etc… into these
items when operational can result in personal
injury.
Optimal operation of the detector is possible only when the operating instructions and
information are read completely, and the instructions contained therein are strictly
followed.
