Tip 6: Ensure that you have really detected a stud. To do so,
check on both sides whether other studs are present at
equal distances, usually at 30, 40 or 60 cm. Also check
that it is a stud by scanning at several places directly
above and below the position of the first find.
Tip 7: Textured ceilings: The ceiling must be covered with
cardboard to protect it. In this case, use the DeepScan
function.
CAUTION:
If electric wires or metal or plastic pipes are
located near or in contact with a plaster fibreboard panel,
they may be identified by the StarFinder as studs. Always
switch off the power supply when working near electric wires.
SPECIAL THINGS TO NOTE WITH VARIOUS MATERIALS
It may not be possible to detect wooden studs or joists
through the following materials:
• Ceramic floor tiles
• Fitted carpeting with padded backing
• Wallpaper with metal fibres or metal foil
• Freshly painted, damp walls. These must have dried for at
least one week.
