must always have contact to the sur-

Measuring Procedure
Position the measuring tool on/
against the surface being detected,
and move it in direction
B . When
the measuring tool comes closer to
an object, the amplitude in measur-
ing indicator
i increases and ring 1
lights up yellow; when it is moved
away from the object, the amplitude
decreases. Measuring indicator
i in-
dicates the maximal amplitude above
the centre of the object; ring
1 lights
up red and an audio signal sounds.
For small or deeply embedded ob-
jects, ring
1 can continue to light up
yellow, while there is no audio signal.
Wide objects are not indicated by
the illuminated ring or the audio
signal throughout their complete
width.
To localise the object more precisely,
move the measuring tool repeatedly
(3x) back and forth over the object.
The fine scale
j is automatically ac-
tivated in all operating modes. Fine
scale
j indicates a full amplitude
when the object is below the centre
of the sensor or when the maximum
amplitude of measuring indicator
i
is reached. In the operating modes
“Drywall” and “Metal” , the indica-
tion “CENTER” k lights up addition-
ally.
Wider objects in the base material
are detected through a continuous,
high amplitude of measuring indica-
tors
i and j . Ring 1 lights up yellow.
The duration of the high amplitude
corresponds approximately with the
object width.
When very small or deeply embed-
ded objects are being sought and
measuring indicator
i reacts only
slightly, move the measuring tool re-
peatedly over the object in horizontal
and vertical direction. Pay attention
to the amplitude of fine scale
j , and
when in operating mode “Drywall”
and “Metal” , additionally to the
“CENTER ” k indication, which will
then allow for precise detection.
Before drilling, sawing or rout-
ing into a wall, protect yourself
against hazards by using other
information sources.
As the meas-
uring results can be influenced
through ambient conditions or the
wall material, there may be a haz-
ard even though the indicator does
not indicate an object in the sensor
range (no audio signal or beep and
the illuminated ring
1 lit green).
Operating Modes
The best measuring results are
achieved through selection of the
operating modes. The maximal de-
tection depth for metal objects is
achieved in the operating mode
“ M e t a l ” . T h e m a x i m a l d e t e c -
tion depth for “live” conductors
is achieved in the operating mode
“Power cable” . The selected oper-
ating mode can be recognized at any
time via the green illuminated operat-
ing mode indication
4 .
Drywall
The operating mode “Drywall” is
suitable for detecting wood or metal
objects in drywalls.
