STUD DETECTION
Notes
• You can use the detector on wallpaper, however it may
not be effective on some types of foil backed
wallpapers.
• If the unit is placed over studding during the calibration,
the unit will not work, simply re-calibrate the unit 150 mm
away from the last place.
• The surface of the wall should be dry and flat.
• Always keep your free hand away from the wall during
detection.
• If you release the test button at any time during
detection, you will need to carry out the calibration
procedure again.
• Knots in wood can cause false readings to occur.
• Normally, studding is placed at intervals of 40 - 60 cm.
