WARNING! If the wall contains live wires, do not take potentially dangerous measures. Be sure to
turn off power, gas, and water before drilling holes or nailing into the wall surface.
Concrete, brick, and ceramic surfaces all have shielding effects on the detector and may
generate false indications.
‘Live’ wire signals will spread from both sides of the wire. The ‘Live’ wire alarm area looks much
larger than the actual wire.
AC signals come mainly from live wires but may also come from static or induced electricity in
the environment. Placing your hand on the wall next to the detector may help eliminate static and
inductive electricity.
The signal strength of a ‘Live’ wire depends on the location of the cable. Therefore, take further
measurements nearby or use other information to check for ‘Live’ wires.
Non - ’Live’ wires may be detected as metal objects and thin wires may not be detected.
FOREIGN BODY DETECTION (GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS WOODEN BLOCK)
Exact Mode detection depth: 20mm. Deep Mode detection depth: 38mm
Foreign body detection mode will detect objects in gypsum drywall, plywood sheets, bare wood
floors and coated wood walls.
Foreign body detection mode will not detect concrete, mortar, bricks, carpet, foils, metal surfaces,
tiles, glass or any other dense surface.
Sensitivity depth and accuracy will vary due to moisture content, material content and wall
texture and paint.
The foreign body detection mode detects more than just wooden blocks. It can also detect metals
and other dense materials such as water pipes and plastic pipes near the back of walls or
ceilings. To help identify wooden material, first scan for metal using the metal detecting mode
and mark any location of any detected metal objects. Afterwards scan in foreign body detection
mode and any items not detected in metal detection mode may be wooden blocks.
Press the Foreign Object Detection Button (6)
to enter Exact foreign body detection mode.
The foreign object icon will appear on the
screen and the green indicator light will
illuminate.
Long press the Foreign Object Detection
Button (6) to enter Deep foreign body
detection mode.
