Special things to note with various materials
It may not be possible to detect wooden studs or joists
through the following materials:
– Ceramic floor tiles
– Fitted carpeting with padded backing
– Wallpaper with metal fibres or metal foil
– Freshly painted, damp walls. These must have dried
for at least one week.
Always switch off the power supply when working
near electric wires.
!
If electric wires or metal or plastic pipes are located
near or in contact with a plaster fibreboard panel,
they may be identified by the StarSensor 50 as studs.
!
Tip 1: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your
free hand and other objects at least 15 cm away from the
StarSensor 50.
Tip 2: Ensure that you have really detected a stud. To do so,
check on both sides whether other studs are present at equal
distances, usually at 30, 40 or 60 cm. Also check that it is a
stud by scanning at several places directly above and below
the position of the first find.
Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not
indicate it clearly.
