STUD Mode
In Stud mode, the Sub-Scanner will detect wood or
metal studs and joists behind wall board, wooden
panels, plaster or other non-metallic wall materials.
The Sub-Scanner can not reliably detect studs
behind material of varying densities. Materials
such as carpet, wire metal mesh backing, damp
walls, and stucco may affect readings. Alternating
surfaces, such as thick grout lines or extremely
heavy plaster on drywall, may be detected or show
as metal or studs.
1.Turn on the Sub-Scanner.
2.Select Stud mode.
3.Depth of scan is
defaulted to 0.5"
(standard wallboard
t h i c k n e s s ) . To
change the depth
of scan (0.5", 1",
or 1.5"), press the
STUD button.
4.Hold the Sub-
Scanner
against
the surface and
press the Calibrate
button.
NOTE:
The Sub-
Scanner will not
calibrate correctly over studs. To
fi
nd a location
without studs, locate an outlet box and move the
Sub-Scanner 6" to either side before beginning
calibration.
5.When SCANNING
is displayed, move
the Sub-Scanner
across the surface.
Keep your free
hand and other
objects at least 6”
(152 mm) away to
avoid false readings.
NOTE:
The Sub-Scanner must remain
fl
at against
and in contact with the surface during the entire
scan.
6.When a stud is de-
tected, the edge is
displayed. Contin-
ue moving the Sub-
Scanner to detect
the entire stud.
7.When the center
of the stud is de-
tected, both arrows
are displayed.
NOTE:
If electric
wires or metal/
pipes are in contact
with the backside of
the wallboard, they
may be identi
fi
ed as
a stud.
