• When AC voltage is found, the stud sensor will sound a few
short (alternating) beeps and light the AC LED (Figure
A
3
).
• When the center of a stud is found, the stud sensor will
sound one longer (constant) beep and light the center LED
(Figure
A 5
).
• When live AC and the center of a stud are both found, the
stud sensor will sound both the long beep and the short
beeps, and light the center and AC LEDs.
Finding a Stud
1. To hold the stud sensor, place your thumb on one side of
the stud sensor, your pointer finger and your palm over the
center of the stud sensor, and the rest of your fingers on
the same hand on the other side of the stud sensor (Figure
C
).
2.
Position the stud sensor flat against the wall and parallel
to a door or window on the same wall, which give you an
indication of how the studs are positioned behind the wall.
3. Without moving the stud sensor, use your pointer finger
to press and hold until all the LEDs (except the green
Power LED) turn off (1 sec).
4.
While still pressing , SLOWLY move the stud sensor to
the left or the right on the wall.
5.
As you move the stud sensor, watch the stud sensor LEDs.
• If lights (Figure
A 7
), move the stud sensor to the
left to find the nearest stud.
• If lights (Figure
A 4
), move the stud sensor to the
right to find the nearest stud.
6.
When the center LED (Figure
A 5
) lights and you hear
a constant beep, the stud sensor has found the center of
a stud (Figure
D
)
1
).
• STOP moving the stud sensor.
• STOP pressing (Figure
D
)
2
).
7.
Through the hole on the stud sensor (Figure
D 3
), use
a pencil to mark the current position as the center of the
stud.
8.
To find another stud on the wall, repeat the same steps.
Finding Live AC
1.
To hold the stud sensor, place your thumb on one side of
the stud sensor, your pointer finger and your palm over the
center of the stud sensor, and the rest of your fingers on
the same hand on the other side of the stud sensor (Figure
C
).
2.
Gently place the stud sensor flat against the wall and
parallel to a door or window on the same wall, which give
you an indication of how the studs are positioned behind
the wall.
3.
Without moving the stud sensor, press and hold until
all the LEDs (except the green Power LED) turn off
(1 sec).
4.
While still pressing , SLOWLY move the stud sensor to
the left or the right on the wall.
5.
As you move the stud sensor, watch the LEDs and
listen for beeps. The AC LED (Figure
A 3
) will start
illuminating and the stud sensor will sound a cadenced
beep from 12”-18” (.3m - .5m), a typical distance away
from the live AC. Since AC wires are usually attached to
studs, the directional LEDs will help you find live AC wires
that may be attached to the nearest stud.
• If lights (Figure
A 7
), move the stud sensor to the
left to find the nearest stud.
• If lights (Figure
A 4
), move the stud sensor to the
right to find the nearest stud.
• If live AC voltage is found within 12”-18” (.3m - .5m) of
the stud sensor’s current position, the AC LED (Figure
A 3
) will illuminate and you will hear a few short
beeps.
• If live AC voltage is found near the center of a stud,
both the AC LED and the center red LED (Figure
A
5
) will illuminate and the stud sensor will sound the
short alternating beeps (AC found) followed by a longer
constant beep (stud center found), and repeat these
beeps until you stop pressing .
NOTE: Static electrical charges that can develop on drywall
and other surfaces will spread the voltage detection area many
inches on each side of the actual electrical wire. To aid in
locating the wire position, scan holding the unit 13mm - 50mm
(½" - 2”) away from the wall surface or place your other hand on
the surface approximately 30cm (12") from the sensor.
