Operating the device
Check for proper operation
Before using the device, please perform this test to ensure that it is
working properly.
1.
Before testing alternating current voltage/current passage,
set
the selector switch to position “II”, open the metal sensor and touch the
metal plates with the thumb on your left hand while using the finger of
your free hand to touch the raised metal button. If the LED lamp lights
and the buzzer sounds, the device is working properly.
2. Before searching for metallic objects, set the selector switch to position
“I” and slowly turn the sensitivity regulator until the LED lamp stops
flashing and the buzzer no longer sounds (the device is now at the
maximum sensitivity setting for metal detection)
Test the metal sensor close to a metallic object. The detector is fully
functional if the LED lamp flashes and the buzzer sounds.
Metal detection mode
1. Keep the device away from the area you want to test and from other
metal objects. Open the metal sensor.
2. Set the selector switch to “I” and slowly turn the sensitivity regulator
until the LED lamp stops flashing. The device is now set to the highest
sensitivity.
3. Place the metal sensor on the wall and move it slowly and steadily across
the area of the wall you want to check. The LED lamp will start to flash
and the buzzer will sound if a metal object is located.
4. To pinpoint the exact location of the metal object, turn the “sensitivity
regulator” slightly forwards to reduce the sensitivity and check the
relevant area again.
If a metal object is detected, the built-in buzzer sounds and the LED lamp
flashes.
Note:
The device will not work on surfaces lined with metal fibre or metal foil. The
device cannot detect plastic pipes.
Alternating current detection mode
1. Set the selector switch to “II” (do not open the metal sensor).
2. Turn the sensitivity regulator as far as the stop,
so that the maximum sensitivity is set.
3. Move the alternating current detection area on the device close to or over
the surface to be checked.
If the device passes close to a live AC wire, the buzzer sounds and the LED
lamp starts to flash. To pinpoint the wire’s exact location, lower the sensitivity
by turning the regulator back slightly and check the relevant area again.
Note:
Rubbing the device along or bumping it against the wall can generate static
electricity, which in turn can cause a false reading.
Leakage current:
since it requires only a very low passage of current to
trigger the device, you may occasionally obtain unexpected readings. If a
poorly insulated cable touches a damp wall, for example, the device will
indicate a current flow on the wall. In this case, the device will show a
possible source of risk, which should be checked using a voltmeter.
Distinguishing between live wires and
earth cables
1. Set the selector button to “II”.
2. Turn the sensitivity regulator as far as the stop to
set the maximum sensitivity
3. Hold the AC detection area of the device close to the wire
that you want to check.
4. Reduce the sensitivity setting to a suitable level by turning back the
sensitivity regulator. Unlike an earth cable, a live wire will also trigger a
signal tone from quite a distance.
