Measuring indicator:
If no object was detected in the sensor range, the dashed lines and the centre line are
completely green.
If an object was detected under the sensor, it will appear in the sensor range between
the two dashed lines of the display. The two dashed lines and the centre line are at least
partially red.
In the right-hand depth scale, depending on the setting, the object depth to the nearest
edge of the found object or the maximum permissible drilling depth is displayed. You can
change between the two depths in the main menu. Always use the display of the max-
imum permissible drilling depth when using the measuring tool for the corresponding ap-
plication.
The representation of the properties of detected objects in the display can deviate from
the actual object properties. In particular, very thin objects appear thicker on the dis-
play. Larger, cylindrical objects (e.g. plastic pipes or water pipes) may appear narrower
on the display than they actually are.
Depending on type and depth of the object, identification of the material is possible. The
type of material can be recognised by the colour of the object in the display:
Yellow:
Live object
Blue:
Magnetic metal (e.g. reinforcing steel)
Turquoise:
Non-magnetic metal (e.g. copper pipe)
White:
Non-metal material (e.g. wood, plastic)
Grey:
Material property unknown
Information on material identification:
– For live objects, no further characteristic is displayed.
– Three-phase mains wiring may not be detected as live conductors.
– At a relative humidity above 50 %, detecting the "live" property may be limited.
Marking objects:
– If you want to mark a found object on the substrate, move the measuring tool so that
the object is centred on the centre line in the display. Use the upper marking aid (1)
as well as the left-hand and right-hand marking aid (5) to make a mark on the sub-
strate. The centre of the object is located at the intersection point of the drawn mark-
ers.
– Alternatively, move the measuring tool to the left or right until the found object is
centered on one of the two dashed lines in the display. Then it is located under the
corresponding outer edge of the measuring tool. Draw a line along this outer edge on
the substrate and mark the position of the corresponding lateral marking aid (5) on
this line. This is the centre of the object.
