Note
1.
Wires deeper than the detection limit from surface, in
conduit or behind plywood shear wall will not be
detected use caution when using the detector under
these circumstances.
2.
Rubbing or banging the unit on the wall may generate
static electricity and cause a false indication.
3.
Leakage Currents
Because of the extremely small current required to
cause a reading on the detector, an apparent false
reading may be seen in some situations, If a live wire
with poor insulation is touching a damp wall, the detector
will show a voltage on the walls surface In this situation,
the detector is indicating a potential hazard which should
be checked using a voltmeter.
