2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

 

The instrument is able to detect:: 
 

  Presence of wooden studs and hidden conductive objects 

  Presence of hidden metal objects 

  Presence of hidden AC live wires 

 

inside walls, ceilings, concrete walls and other common 
materials. The instrument emits a sound and shows a signal 
on the display after identifying the object's edge so as to 
easily identify its central position. 

 
Each of these functions can be selected by pressing the 

MODE

 button. There are also the 

TEST

 button for the start-

up and initial calibration and an analogical graphic bar that 
identifies the signal strength. The instrument is equipped 
with an Auto Power OFF device which automatically turns off 
after 30s of idleness.
