– Hold the device in midair where it is far away from any electric
conductors that may be live.
– Select the AC-SCAN mode (Button 6). When this
mode is selected, the device performs an autonomous
calibration (AUTO-CALIBRATION). The device can be
re-calibrated by pressing the CAL button (7).
– Move the device slowly across the surface.
Slide the tool sideways across the wall. When the
maximum display appears, mark the position.
Wires which are at a depth of more than 4 cm may not be
!
detected. Always switch off the power supply when working
near electric wires.
Tip 1: Depending on surface material electro-static interference may
occur when moving unit, LED's will light up. In this case move tool
slowly over the wall without touching surface.
Tip 2: Because of static charges, electric fields may be detected
at the side of the actual position of the wire. To carry away these
charges, lay your free hand on the wall.
Tip 3: Metal in walls (e.g. metal studs) transmit electrical fields and
may therefore cause interference. In this case, switch to STUD-SCAN
to check the surrounding area.
Tip 4: The position where you start is important: To achieve
maximum sensitivity, start by placing the device in a position
which is known not to be near live wires.
Tip 5: With the Set Button (4) the sensivity can be adjusted.
The highest sensivity (max. 4 cm) can be found the the mode
„Super"-Deep.
