OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not 
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The 
use of attachments or accessories not recommended 
can result in serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the purposes listed below:

 

Locating wood or metal studs or joists

 

Finding general location of AC wiring

TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 2, page 9.

  Open the battery compartment door.

  Place the battery into the battery compartment.

 

NOTE: The raised rib on the side of the battery must be 
aligned with the groove in the battery compartment.

  Reinstall the battery compartment door.

OPERATING TIPS

  Once activated, the ON button must be continuously 

depressed to allow the unit to function. If the ON button 
is released, you must restart the process from the 
beginning. 

  The unit should remain firmly against the wall surface 

during the entire detection process. Hold the unit only in 
the gripping areas provided.

  Once you have located a stud or AC wire, verify the 

location by repeating the detection process from the 
opposite side. The location of the wire or stud will 
generally be at the center point between the two detected 
positions.

  If using the unit on uneven or textured surfaces, place a 

thin piece of cardboard between the unit and the surface. 
Make sure you have the cardboard in place during both 
the calibration and the detection process.

  If you are having trouble locating live wires, ground 

the unit by placing your other hand against the wall 
approximately 8 in. to the side of the unit. Slide your hand 
along the wall as you slide the unit.

  The presence of any type of metal material or metal studs  

in the detection area can cause unreliable readings. 

USING THE STUD SENSOR

See Figures 3 - 4, page 9.

NOTE:  The stud sensing feature of this unit is accurate 

under most conditions.

  Using the dial on the front of the unit, select the detection 

depth needed based on the surface being scanned.

 

NOTE: As a general guideline, use the 1/2 in. setting for 
unpainted, painted, or wallpapered drywall. For panelled 
drywall or plastered walls, use the 1 in. setting. The 
1-1/2 in. setting should be used for detecting floor joists 
underneath plywood.

  Place the unit against the wall and depress the ON button. 

Hold the product still to allow the unit to calibrate. When 
the calibration process is completed, the unit will beep 
and READY will appear on the LCD display. If 

 symbols 

are displayed instead of READY, repeat the calibration 
process. 

 

NOTE: The unit must not be placed over a stud or live 
wire during the calibration process.

Locating studs or joists:

  Once calibration is complete, begin to slowly move the 

unit in a straight line to the left or right against the wall. 
As you near a stud, the graduated display will begin to 
light up. When you reach the edge of the stud, the display 
will fully light up, the word STUD will appear at the top, 
and an audio signal will sound.

  Using a pencil in the groove at the top of the unit, make a 

mark on the wall at the point where STUD first appeared 
on the display.

  Continue to move the unit across the wall. STUD will 

remain on the display until you reach the other edge of 
the stud. Mark the spot on the wall just before the word 
STUD disappeared from the display. These two pencil 
marks show the left and right edges of the stud. The 
mid-point between the marks indicates the center of the 
stud.
