Stud Sensor Information
The Stud Sensor DW0100/DW0150 uses electronic signals
to locate the center of wood or metal studs, or live AC wires
through drywall or other common building materials.
PLEASE NOTE:
• The stud sensor will not detect objects in concrete, mortar,
block, brick work, plaster, carpeting, foil- faced materials,
metallic surfaces, or ceramic tile.
• The stud sensor is not designed to locate non-ferrous or
plastic objects, such as pipes.
Once the center of a wood or metal stud has been detected
in one pass across the surface, the Stud Sensor DW0100/
DW0150 turns on an LED and sounds an audible tone. A
marking hole allows you to easily note the stud center

CAUTION:
Protect your eyes. Wear safety goggles.
WARNING:
This tool is not a measuring device and should
not be used as a substitute for a voltmeter.
WARNING:
The LED or Live Wire Detection symbol on the
display is just an indicator and in some situations
the voltage detection option may not accurately
indicate the presence of voltage in a wall in the
event of internal device failure or improper operation,
and therefore should not be solely relied upon for
identification of the presence of hazardous voltages.
Other evidence, such as construction blueprints or
visual identification of wiring or conduit entry points
should also be utilized.
Always follow proper safety practices and use a
separate detection method to verify a de-energized
condition prior to commencing work.
