Tip 1: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your
free hand and other objects at least 15 cm away from the
StarSensor 50.
Tip 2: Ensure that you have really detected a stud. To do so,
check on both sides whether other studs are present at equal
distances, usually at 30, 40 or 60 cm. Also check that it is a
stud by scanning at several places directly above and below
the position of the first find.
Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not
indicate it clearly.
!
If electric wires or metal or plastic pipes are located
near or in contact with a plaster fibreboard panel,
they may be identified by the StarSensor 50 as studs.
Special things to note with various materials
It may not be possible to detect wooden studs or joists
through the following materials:
– Ceramic floor tiles
– Fitted carpeting with padded backing
– Wallpaper with metal fibres or metal foil
– Freshly painted, damp walls. These must have dried
for at least one week.
!
Always switch off the power supply when working
near electric wires.
