Tip 1: The position between the two markings is the mid-point
of the metal object. Through the high measuring sensitivity,
thick metal objects appear broader than they are in real life.
Therefore move the device over the newly found object as
shown in Image B. The device is calibrated automatically during
this process. Manual calibration should be performed near
the place found last as shown in Image C. Repeat this step as
needed.
Tip 2: The position where you start is important: First place the
device in a position where you know there is no metal.
Tip 3: In the case of complicated applications, e.g. ribbed
steel, scan the surface both horizontally and vertically.
Tip 4: Flexible floor and wall heating pipes which contain
a metal foil and are located near the surface may also be
detected. Test for this function in places where you know
the position of such pipes.
Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not
indicate it clearly.
