This tool is designed to help locate a through-hole point 

for drilling through walls. It operates in one of two modes:

• Normal Scan 

is optimized for interior walls with  

1

2

" (1.3 cm) sheetrock on both sides, up to 4.5

(11.5 cm) thick

• DeepScan 

is for use with thicker walls, up to         

11.8

"

 (30 cm)

Depth can vary due to wall material and construction.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Before first use, remove the PULL tab in the  

battery compartment.

Always use new alkaline AAA (LR03) batteries with 

extended expiration dates at least 3 years beyond the 

current date. Match the direction of batteries to the images 

inside of battery cavity.

Low battery:

 When the battery level is too low for proper 

operation, the Receiver will automatically power off.  

If Receiver does not light upon pressing the Power / MODE 

Button, please replace all three batteries with a brand   

new set.

POWER UP

To activate Receiver, hold the tool flat against the 

surface being scanned and press the Power / MODE 

Button. 

Lights will flash as tool automatically calibrates, 

then a beep will sound and a blue light will hold steady 

once calibration is complete.
A failed calibration is indicated by a rapid pulsing of both 

red and blue LEDs at the same time. Move the Receiver 

away from the suspected location of the Target Magnet 

and it will automatically recalibrate.

POWER DOWN

To power off the Receiver, press and hold the 

Power / MODE Button down for approximately  

2 seconds.

 Lights will turn off.

The Receiver will automatically power off approximately  

3 minutes after last calibration.

USE DEEPSCAN MODE

Use DeepScan Mode for scanning through 

materials more than 4.5

"

 (11.5 cm) but 

less than 11.8

"

 (30 cm) thick.

For DeepScan, always use the Large  

Target Magnet. (

Figure F

)

1. 

Determine where the drill exit hole 

should be. Affix the Large Target Magnet 

to the location with a reusable adhesive disc,  

yellow side facing away from wall.  

2. 

Power up Receiver, then press Power / MODE 

Button twice to switch from Normal to  

DeepScan Mode. The DeepScan Mode Indicator 

light will illuminate as indicated by icon to the right.

3. 

Follow steps 4–8 under SCAN IN NORMAL  

SCAN MODE.

STORING REUSABLE ADHESIVE DISCS

This tool comes with 9 double-sided, reusable  

adhesive discs. With repetitive use or exposure to  

dust particles, discs may lose stickiness. Gently wash  

with soapy water, rinse, air dry, and reuse.
The discs can be stored within the battery compartment  

by stacking within the designated, circular template.

SCAN IN NORMAL SCAN MODE

The Receiver powers up in Normal Scan 

Mode, indicated by the Normal Scan 

Mode Indicator light. Always use the 

Small Target Magnet when scanning in 

this mode. (

Figure A

)

Use Normal Scan Mode for scanning 

through materials up to 4.5

"

 (11.5 cm) thick.

WARNING

DO NOT ASSUME THERE ARE NO  

LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN  

THE WALL. DO NOT TAKE ACTIONS THAT COULD  

BE DANGEROUS IF THE WALL CONTAINS A LIVE 

ELECTRICAL WIRE. ALWAYS TURN OFF THE 

ELECTRICAL, GAS, AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE 

PENETRATING A SURFACE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW 

THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC 

SHOCK, FIRE, AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY OR 

PROPERTY DAMAGE.

1. 

Determine where the drill exit hole should be.  

Clean the surface of any dust or oils, and make sure  

the surface is dry. 

2. 

Remove the protective plastic 

from both sides of an adhesive disc, 

then use the disc to affix the  

Small Target Magnet to the location, 

with yellow side facing away  

from wall. (

Figure B

3. 

Grasp grips with thumb on one 

and fingers on the other. 

Place the 

Receiver flat against the opposite 

surface from the 

Target Magnet

,  

but in an area not likely to be  

over it.

  

4. 

Power up the Receiver and let it 

calibrate until the blue light is steady 

(not flashing). 

5. 

Move the Receiver horizontally. 

As it approaches the target, red LEDs 

will flash slowly. When the red lights 

go steady, mark the location through 

the reticle groove. (

Figure C

)

6. 

Continue scanning in the same 

direction until the red and blue LEDs 

flash, then reverse direction.

7. 

Mark the location where the red 

LED shines steadily. The approximate 

midpoint of the target is between the 

two marks. (

Figure D

)

8. 

Without recalibrating, move the 

Receiver to the midpoint, then scan 

vertically until the top and bottom 

limits are marked. The center of the Target  

Magnet should be the midpoint between  

the top and bottom marks. (

Figure E

)

WARNING

This Receiver does NOT detect hidden 

objects behind surface. Use other 

information sources to locate, and avoid, objects 

behind surface before drilling.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

THIS TOOL WORKS BY DETECTING A HIGH-POWERED MAGNET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A WALL. IT DOES NOT DETECT 

STUDS, PIPES, OR ELECTRICAL WIRES. 

USE OTHER TOOLS TO DETECT STUDS, PIPES OR ELECTRICAL WIRES 

BEFORE DRILLING.

- Always use new alkaline AAA (LR03) batteries with extended expiration dates at least 3 years beyond the current date. 

Match the direction of batteries to the images inside of battery cavity.
- Before drilling, use a Zircon stud finding scanner to scan for studs at several different heights on the wall and mark the 

location of every target indicated by the stud finder. This is called “mapping the wall.” Pipes and other objects will likely 

not give consistent readings from floor to ceiling like a stud would.
- Readings should always be consistent and repeatable.
- Studs normally run from floor to ceiling, except above and below windows, and above doors.
- Other objects commonly contained in walls, floors, or ceilings are water pipes, gas lines, firestops, and electrical wiring.
- Sensing depth and accuracy can vary depending on scanning environment conditions such as mineral content, moisture, 

texture and consistency of the wall materials.
- Always turn off power when working near electrical wires.
- Caution should always be used when nailing, cutting, or drilling in walls, floors, and ceilings that may  

contain these items.
- Studs and joists are normally spaced 16 or 24" (40 or 60 cm) apart, are normally 1

1

2

" (38 mm) wide, and may be 

separated by firestops. Anything closer together, or of a different width, may not be a stud or joist.
- Materials more than 11.8" (30 cm) thick may not be detected.
- Keep away from children, pacemakers, and medical devices.
- Fingers can get severely pinched between two attracting magnets.
- Do not dismantle magnet housings. Magnets can peel, crack, or shatter if allowed to slam together.
- Do not expose to magnetic media and other electronics. The strong magnetic fields can damage these items.
- Keep magnets away from heat and fire.

TROUBLESHOOTING & CONSTRUCTION TIPS

SITUATION

LIKELY CAUSE

SOLUTION

• Receiver does not power on or 

powers off immediately.
• Receiver keeps recalibrating or 

indicating calibration error.

Battery PULL Tab not removed.

Remove PULL Tab from battery compartment.

Battery level too low for proper 

operation.

Replace with (3) brand new alkaline AAA batteries.

Solid red indication flickers (blue LEDs 

momentarily turn on) when Receiver is 

believed to be over Target Magnet.

Receiver needs to be recalibrated. Move Receiver away from suspected target location, recalibrate,  

then restart search for Target Magnet.

Solid red indication continues to flicker 

after several recalibration attempts.

Receiver is unable to locate Target 

Magnet in this particular location.

Change to DeepScan

®

 Mode (Large Target Magnet) and rescan for 

Target Magnet.

Unable to locate Target Magnet.

Target Magnet is oriented the 

wrong direction (north pole).

Orient Target Magnet in other direction (south pole).

Receiver is within approximately 

1" (25 mm) of Target Magnet.

If the Receiver is too close to the Target Magnet, the magnetic lines 

wrap around magnet. Move Receiver further away from Target Magnet 

and rescan.

Target Magnet distance exceeds 

scan mode specifications.

Check scan depth, Target Magnet size, and scan mode.
