Always turn off the power when working near

electrical wires.

WORKING WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS

StudSensor

™

e40 is for use on dry interior walls only.

Note: Sensing depth and accuracy can vary due

to moisture, content of materials, wall texture,

and paint.

StudSensor

™

e40 can scan effectively through most

sheet materials, including:

• Bare wood flooring (in DEEPSCAN

™

mode)

• Linoleum on wood base
• Gypsum drywall over plywood sheathing
• Wallpapered walls (if dry)
• Textured ceilings if uniform thickness (place a thin

piece of cardboard on ceiling and scan over it to

avoid damage to texturing)

StudSensor

™

e40 is not designed to scan materials

such as:

• Ceramic floor tile
• Carpeting and padding
• Wallpaper with metallic fibers
• Freshly painted walls that are still damp (may take

one week or longer to dry after application)

• Lath and plaster walls
• Foil covered insulation board
• Glass or any other dense material

3. SELECTING THE MODE

Move selector switch to the desired mode: STUD SCAN

for finding wood or metal studs or DEEPSCAN

™

for

finding studs behind walls more than 19 mm thick.
Unit will remain off if Power button is not depressed.

4. FINDING A STUD

Always scan for studs with the scanner placed flat

against the wall. Move the mode switch to STUD

SCAN, place the tool flat against the wall, then press

and hold the Power button. Do not move the unit until

calibration is complete. When calibration is complete,

the green READY light will illuminate.

1. INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Push in the battery door

tab at the bottom of the

tool and open the door.

Insert a new 9 V battery,

matching the positive (+)

and negative (-) terminals

to the icons printed on the

back. Snap the battery into

place and replace the door.

2. OPERATING TIPS

For optimum scanning results:
• Hold the tool straight up and down, parallel to the

studs, and do not rotate the tool.

• Keep tool flat against the wall and do not rock, tilt,

or press hard when slowly sliding across the surface
being scanned.

• Avoid placing your other hand, or any other part of

your body, on the surface being scanned.

• Depending on the proximity of electrical wiring or

pipes to the wall surface, the scanner may detect

them in the same manner as studs. Caution should

always be used when nailing, cutting, or drilling

in walls, floors, and ceilings that may contain

these items.

• To avoid surprises, remember that studs or joists are

normally spaced 41 or 61 cm apart and are 38 mm

in width.

Anything closer together or a different

width may not be a stud, joist, or firebreak.

If you’re receiving erratic scanning results, it may be

a result of humidity, moisture within the wall cavity

or drywall, or recently applied paint or wallpaper

that hasn’t fully dried. While the moisture may not

always be visible, it will interfere with tool’s sensors.

Please allow a few days for the wall to dry out.

Do not rely exclusively on

the detector to locate

items behind the scanned surface. Use other

information sources to help locate items before

penetrating the surface. Such additional sources

include construction plans, visible points of

entry of pipes and wiring into walls, such as in

a basement, and in standard 41 and 61 cm stud

spacing practices.

Continue to hold the Power

button, then slowly slide

unit horizontally across the

wall, left or right. As you

begin to approach a stud,

the arrow segments will

begin to turn on.

When the top red EDGE

light is lit, the SpotLite

™

pointer shines, and a

steady tone sounds, you

have located the edge of

the stud. Mark this spot.

Without releasing the

Power button, continue

scanning beyond the

marked spot until the red

EDGE light turns off. Slide

unit in reverse direction to

locate other edge of stud.

Mark this second spot.

Middle of stud is centered

between the two marks.

modes. When live AC voltage

is detected, the WireWarning

™

light comes on. If

scanning begins over a live AC wire, the WireWarning

™

indicator will flash continuously. Use extreme caution

in these circumstances or whenever live AC is present.

Probable Causes

Solutions

Situation

Electrical field locators may

not detect live AC wires if

wires are more than 51 mm from the scanned

surface, encased in conduit, present behind a

plywood shear wall or metallic wall covering,

or if moisture is present in the environment or

scanned surface.

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 POWER, 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.
