Note
:
Repeating the detection operation will clarify the measurement results.
During the detection of wooden profiles, alternating current is also detected. When detected, the AC symbol on the device flashes and
the device produces a short intermittent sound.
In the wood profile detection mode, when only AC current is detected, only the AC symbol on the device flashes in the display.
• Sometimes, due to different environmental factors, the instrument may not be automatically calibrated, and the alarm signal
may be incorrect, and must be calibrated manually. The calibration method is to briefly press the Wooden Profile Detection Mode
button until the green light comes on again. - If the device has just been calibrated on a profile, move the tool out of the profile
range and only detect it when testing the profile again.
• If you get unstable scan results, the cause may be moisture in a wall or plasterboard bay, moisture or recently applied paint or
wallpaper that is not completely dry. Moisture may not always be visible, but it can interfere with the tool’s sensors. Leave the walls
to dry for a few days.
• For some environmental factors or uneven surfaces it is difficult to detect wood nails in foreign body detection mode. By changing
the metal detection mode to locate the nails holding the material for wooden nails, it is easier to find such objects.
• Depending on the distance between the wire or pipe and the wall, the device can detect profiles in the same way as it detects such
objects. Always use care when nailing, cutting or drilling walls, floors and ceilings that may contain such objects.
DETECTION OF LIVE CABLES
WARNING!
In some cases, tools may not be able to accurately identify live wires in walls if internal components fail or are not handled properly,
so you cannot rely solely on the device to detect the presence of dangerous live wires. Other evidence such as construction drawings
or visual identification of cabling or pipe entry points should also be used. Do not assume that there are no live wires in the walls.
If the wall contains live cables, do not take potentially hazardous actions. Remember to disconnect power, gas and water before
drilling holes or pins into the wall.
Maximum scanning depth: 50 mm (220 V at 50 Hz / 110 V at 60 Hz) - Under certain conditions (e.g. behind a metalised or conduc-
tive surface, shielded in a metal duct or behind a surface with high humidity), live wires/cables may be difficult or even impossible
to detect. Additionally, concrete, brick and ceramic surfaces weaken electric field signals, so when testing on these surfaces the
detection depth can be reduced.
• AC live cables can be more easily detected when the receivers are connected to them and switched on.
• When electrical cables are detected, the device sometimes triggers an alarm. This is due to high humidity or strong static elec-
tricity in the wall, you can calibrate the device by pressing the wire detection button 7 in its current position for a long time until
the green light comes on, the percentage of signal strength is zero and then release the button to continue detection. If after the
calibration the percentage of signal strength is still not equal to zero, it means that the humidity is too high or the static electricity
is too strong, or the surrounding electromagnetic radiation is too high (for example, there are a large number of devices in the
environment) and the tool cannot accurately detect the power source. You must wait until the humidity drops or turn off the
devices in the environment and then detect again.
• Static electricity can cause inaccurate detection of cables. It may also be helpful to place your hand on the wall next to the detector
and to take measurements again to remove static electricity.
• The signal strength of a live cable depends on the cable position. Therefore, take further measurements in the vicinity or use other
information to check live cables.
• Non-voltage cables may be detected as metallic objects or may not be detected. This applies to solid copper cables, but no twisted
copper cables can be detected.
Press the cable detection button 7 live to go to live cable detection. The AC icon will appear on the display screen. At this point, if the
percentage of signal strength is displayed on the full-scale display screen, this means that it must be reset to zero. The return to zero
mode consists of pressing and holding the button for the detection of the live cable on the measured area until the percentage of the
signal on the screen is zero and the green light comes on, and then the calibration is completed. At this point, release the button to
start detecting a live cable.
Place the detector on the surface and move the device left (or right) in the same direction. As the device approaches the live cable, the
signal strength scale on the display screen will gradually increase and the percentage of strength will gradually increase. As the de-
vice moves away from the live cable, the scale drops and power percentage decreases. When the program determines that the signal
received by the device reaches its maximum value, the live cable is directly under the center of the detector. The middle icon is display-
ed on the display screen. At the same time, the yellow or red detector indicator lights up, the buzzer sounds a short „DI DI DI” sound.
MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, CLEANING
Use a dry, soft cloth to remove dirt from the instrument. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not place any labels or nameplates in the detection area in front or behind the detector. Do not stick the metal nameplate.
Use the enclosed protective box to store and carry the detector.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Damaged detectors, accessories and packaging materials should be recycled and used in an environmentally friendly manner.
