2)Wood detection
Step 1: Take sample of the wall material
Press the unit against the wall. Long press ZOOM button. The
green light would be on. “ZOOM” signal and the triangular signal
would disappear on screen. Signal bar and “AUTOCAL √” sign
would appear on the screen.
Step 2: Locate the center of wood stud
▪
Keep pressing the unit against the wall and holding the ZOOM
button. Slide the unit slowly in one direction. When wood object is
located within the detection range (20mm max), the red light
would be on and the detector sounds an alarm. The unit would
also display the detected signal on screen. The closer the unit
gets to the edge of wood stud, the stronger the signal. Mark at
the groove spot when the signal reaches its highest level.
▪
Move the detector in reverse direction and use the same method
to locate the other edge of the wood stud. Mark at the groove
spot when the signal reaches its highest level. The midpoint of the
two markers is the center of wood stud.
Step 3: Confirm the location
If by chance the product is placed over a wood stud when taking
sample, the unit will not work properly and the result could be
faulty. To confirm the finding, select a different location to take
sample (on the left or right side of the previous sampling point).
Use the same detection method and see if you can get the same
result.
3)AC wire detection
Press the product against the wall. If there is a live wire located
within the detection range, the detector would sound an alarm if it
detects an electric field with certain intensity. The approximate
position of the AC wire would be determined according to the
strength of AC electric field signal [check figure 3]. If there is no
EN-6
disturbance coming from other electric fields, the stronger the
signal, the closer the detector gets to the live wire.
Note:
1. DO NOT place your hand on the wall, which may shield the
signal and interfere with detection result.
2. This product could be used to detect AC wire (110V, 50-60Hz).
However, the signal would be weaker when the wire is grounded,
and thus it would be more difficult to detect AC wire.
3. If the AC wire is connected to working electrical appliances, then
it is easy to pinpoint the exact location of AC wire. However,
when the wire is buried inside metal surface or damp object, it
may not be detected by this product.
4. When detecting a wire, the detection range of the detector would
be affected if a ground wire and the wire are connected.
5.
This product is not for fire walls (with shielded space), walls in
shielded room and concrete walls. If you want to locate AC wire
behind those types of walls, you need to look for more
professional AC wire detector.
Those types of walls would block
detecting signal. So, it is very difficult to find AC wire unless it is
very close to the surface. For concrete wall, you could only check
whether if a wall outlet is working or not.
Silent mode
A silent mode can be selected if your find the beeping alarm
annoying. Simply press the mute button. The mute icon would
appear on screen.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Clean the detector with dry and soft cloth. Do not clean it with
detergents or other chemicals. The detector has gone through
rigorous quality testing prior to delivery. If any non-human failure
