light up yellow, while there is no au-
dio signal.
Wide objects are not indicated by
the illuminated ring or the audio
signal throughout their complete
width.
As soon as the measuring tool has
localised an object below the centre
of the sensor, the fine scale
i is acti-
vated.
To localise the object more precisely,
move the measuring tool repeatedly
(3x) back and forth over the object.
The fine scale
i indicates a maximum
amplitude when the ob-ject is posi-
tioned precisely below the centre of
the sensor, independent thereof how
many bars are displayed in the main
scale
h .
When very small or deeply embed-
ded objects are being sought and
main scale
h reacts only slightly,
move the measuring tool repeatedly
over the object in horizontal (
x -axis)
and vertical ( y -axis) direction. Ob-
serve the amplitude of fine scale i .
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).
Metal
When the detected metal object is of
magnetic metal (e.g. iron), the sym-
bol
d is indicated on display 3 . For
non-magnetic metals, the symbol c
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 and fine scale i indicates a high
amplitude).
Note: For reinforcement steel mesh
and steel in the examined base mate-
rial, an amplitude is indicated over
the complete surface of the main
scale
h . For reinforcement steel
mesh, it is typical that the symbol d
for magnetic metal is indicated on
the display directly above the iron
rods, whereas between the iron rods,
the symbol
c for non-magnetic metal
will appear.
Power Cable
When a “live” conductor is detected,
indication
e appears on the display 3 .
Move the measuring tool repeatedly
over the area to localise the “live”
conductor more precisely. After mov-
ing over the “live” conductor several
times, it can be indicated very ac-
curately. When the measuring tool
is very close to the conductor, the
illuminated ring
1 rapidly flashes red
and the audio signal beeps swiftly.
Notes:
“Live” conductors can be detected
easier when power consumers (e.g.
lamps, machines) are connected to
the sought conductor and switched
on.
Under certain conditions (such
as below metal surfaces or be-
hind surfaces with high water
content), “live” conductors can-
not be securely detected.
