OPERATION
Continue moving the instrument in the same
direction until the metal detection indicator light
illuminates green again. Mark this second point
with a pencil. The midpoint of these two marks is
the central location of the measured metal object.
Note: After you release the On/Off button, the unit
must be calibrated again before reuse.
DETECTING LIVE WIRES
With the wall detector flat against the wall and the
On/Off button pressed move the instrument left or
right. When the instrument detects a hot wire, the
live wire detection indicator light will illuminate red
and flash and a intermittent beep will be heard,
Fig.5. Mark this point with a pencil using the marker
point on the top of the wall detector.
Continue moving the instrument in the same
direction until the live wire detection indicator light
goes off. Mark this second point with a pencil. The
midpoint of these two marks is the central location
of the measured hot wire.
Note: Wires deeper than the detection limit from
the surface, in conduit, or behind plywood
shearwall will not be detected. Use caution under
these circumstances.
Rubbing or banging the unit on the wall may
generate static electricity and cause a false
reading.
