-13-
detecting depth is 6”.
When too many objects are displayed, it may be
possible that you are moving directly alongside a
reinforcement rod. In this case, place the detection
tool a few inches aside and try again.
In-floor heating
The operating mode
“In-floor heating”
is
particularly suitable for detecting metal, metal-
composite and water-filled plastic pipes, as well as
for electrical wiring. Empty plastic pipes are not
displayed. The maximum measuring depth is 3-
1/8”.
Drywall
The operating mode
“Drywall”
is suitable for
finding wooden beams, metal framing and
electrical wiring in drywalls (wood, gypsum board,
drywall, etc.). Filled plastic pipes and wooden
studs are displayed identically. Empty plastic pipes
are not detected. The maximum measuring depth
is 3-1/8”.
Metal
The operating mode
“Metal”
is suitable for
detecting metal objects and “live” wires / conduc-
tors when other operating modes in different wall
situations do not provide satisfactory results. In such
cases, the detection results will be more extensive,
yet less precise.
Signal View Mode
The operating mode
“Signal view”
is suitable for
all materials. The signal strength at the
corresponding detection position is displayed. This
mode is particularly suitable for better evaluation
of complicated material structures based on the
characteristic of the signal.
The object depth and the material types (as far as
possible) are displayed. The maximum measuring
depth is 6”.
• The signal strength shown on the main
display is not directly related to the object
depth.
CHANGING THE DISPLAY MODES
Note:
Changing the display modes is possible in
any operating mode.
To switch from the standard start display to rule
mode, press and hold selection button
10
or
12
.
In the example, ruler mode shows the same
situation as in figure
D
: Three steel bars equally
apart. In rule mode, the clearance between the
detected object centers can be determined.
The measuring distance covered from the starting
point (in the example 20.1 cm) is displayed under
the indication of the object depth
l
.
The three objects are displayed as rectangles in
the small ruler above the operating-mode
indication
h
.
Note:
Both the indication of the object depth
l
as
well as the material type
m
refer to the object
pictured black in the sensor area.
To return to the standard start display, briefly press
selection button
10
or
12
.
Note:
Only the display is reset, not the measuring
mode!
“SETTINGS” MENU
