Conventional Construction
Doors and windows are commonly constructed with additional studs and
headers for added stability. This unit detects the edge of these double
studs and solid headers and emits and holds an audio signal as it crosses
over them.
Surface Differences
Wallpaper—there will be no difference in the function of the stud sensor
on surfaces covered with wallpaper or fabric unless the coverings contain
metallic foil or fibers.
Plaster and Lath — unless the plaster and lath is exceptionally thick or
has metal mesh in it, there will be no problem with the unit functioning
properly.
Ceiling or Textured Surfaces—When dealing with a rough surface such as
a sprayed ceiling, place a piece of cardboard under the unit when scan
-
ning the surface. Run through the calibration technique described earlier
with the piece of cardboard between the stud sensor and the surface.
Also, it is particularly important in this application to remember to keep
your free hand away from the unit.
If utilizing the procedure of scanning and marking from two sides, the unit
will find the stud center with 1/8” accuracy for wood and 1/4” accuracy
for metal. When measuring a wood or metal stud, it is recommended that
the unit to be used at 33-55% relative humidity.
