Operating Tips; Important Safety Notice - Stanley 0-77-445 Manual De Instrucciones

77-445 MetalSensor GB_V!.qxd 1/8/07 5:38 PM
Warning: Shielded wires or live wires in metal conduits, casings or
metalized surfaces will not be detected. Always turn AC power off
when working near wiring.
The Stanley@MetalSensor is designed to detect 230 volt for AC in
live electrical wires.
Detecting both Metal and AC at the Same Time
When detecting both AC and metal at the same time, the unit will
detect metal over AC/live wires. If both AC and metal are detected
at the same time, the LCD and an intermittent audible tone will
reflect the presence of metal. Only the red LED will flash indicating
the presence of AC/live wires
CAUTIONS ON OPERATING
You should always use caution when nailing, cutting or drilling in
walls, ceilings and floors that may contain wiring or pipes near the
surface. Shielded and/or non-energized wiring will not be detected
as live wires. When working near AC electrical wires, always turn
off the power.

OPERATING TIPS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

To ensure proper detection of live wires, ALWAYS hold the
Stanley@MetalSensor in the handle area only. Grasp between
fingers and thumb while maintaining contact with your palm.
Surface Differences
Wallpaper- There will be no difference in the function of the sensor
on surfaces covered with wallpaper or fabric unless the coverings
contain metallic foil or fibres.
Plaster and Lath- Unless the plaster and lath 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, use a piece of cardboard when scanning
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.
