metal type.
NOTE:
1. Cross-hairs on the top and front of the unit show where sensitivity is maximum.
2. If the tool is close to a large metal object or surface, it may indicate the opposite metal type.
3. The MetalliScanner® metal finder is designed to operate at approximately 70°F. The sensitivity
decreases slightly at higher temperatures but is not noticeably affected at lower temperatures.
Particular Situations
Situation:
Scanning near the edge of a piece
Result:
Cannot rely on beep to locate target of concrete
Action to be taken:
Ignore beep and rely on scanning
wheel and depth bars to locate target
Situation:
Concrete is in segments which could have
been poured at different times
Result:
Cannot rely on a single calibration for the entire
area
Action to be taken:
Pre-scan each segment
separately, calibrate and determine depth of targets for
each segment of concrete
Finding Depth Calibrating in Either Mode
You must calibrate the tool before it can give an
accurate depth for rebar, copper, or other metal objects.
For each type of metal located in the pre-scan
procedure, calibrate the unit and determine the depth, if
necessary, in the appropriate mode before changing
modes and recalibrating.
Place the MetalliScanner® metal finder on the scanning
surface as far away from any target (magnetic or non-
magnetic) as possible with the mode switch in the
position corresponding to the target of interest.
If there are multiple targets present, position the unit halfway between the widest-spaced targets
(Figure 6).
