ating mode “Drywall” . The operat-
ing mode indication 4 above button
10 lights up green. As soon as the
measuring tool is positioned against
the base material to be detected,
ring
1 lights up green and signals op-
erational readiness.
In the operating mode “Drywall” all
object types are detected and indi-
cated:
– Non-metal,
e.g. a wood beam
– Magnetic,
e.g. reinforcing steel
– Non-magnetic, but metal,
e.g. copper pipe
– “Live”,
e.g. a “live” conductor
Notes: In the operating mode “Dry-
wall” , other objects, apart from wood
and metal objects and “live” conduc-
tors are also detected, such as plas-
tic tubing filled with water. For such
objects, the indication
c for non-
metal objects is indicated in display 3 .
Nails and screws in the base mate-
rial may cause a wooden beam to be
indicated as a metal object on the
display.
When display 3 indicates a continu-
ously high amplitude of measuring in-
dicator
i and fine scale j , restart the
measuring procedure again by posi-
tioning the measuring tool at a differ-
ent location on the base material.
When the illuminated ring 1 does not
signal operational read-iness when
positioning the measuring tool on the
base material being detected, the
measuring tool cannot properly de-
tect the base material.
Press and hold button 10 until the
illuminated ring lights up green.
When starting a new measuring
procedure afterwards and posi-
tioning the measuring tool onto a
different wall or surface, you must
briefly press button
10 .
In rare cases, the measuring tool
may not be able to detect the base
material because the side with
the sensor area
12 and the type
plate 13 is soiled or dirty. Clean
the measuring tool with a dry, soft
cloth and restart the measuring
procedure.
Metal
The operating mode “Metal” is suit-
able for detecting magnetic and non-
magnetic objects independent of the
wall material.
Press button
9 to activate the oper-
ating mode “Metal” . The illuminated
ring 1 and indication 4 above button
9 light up green.
When the detected metal object is of
magnetic metal (e.g. iron), the sym-
bol
e is indicated on display 3 . For
non-magnetic metals, the symbol d
is indicated. In order to differentiate
between metal types, the measuring
tool must be positioned above the
detected metal object (ring
1 is lit
red).
Note: For reinforcement steel mesh
and steel in the examined base mate-
rial, an amplitude is indicated over
the complete surface of measuring
indicator
i . For reinforcement steel
