Stanley IntelliSensor Pro - Detecting Live Wires; Live Wire Detection Process; Static Electricity and Wire Locating; Important Warnings

Detecting Live Wires
The live wire red LED lens (illustration 1)
will illuminate, warning when in the
proximity (typically within 10-46 cm [4-
18"] distance) of a live wire. The LCD
screen will then display a live wire icon
(il lustration 2) on the LCD defining full
detection. Maximum depth detection of 5
cm (2").
Static electricity charges that can
develop on drywall and other surfaces
will spread the voltage detection area
many inches to each side of the actual
electrical wire. To aid in locating the wire
position, scan holding the unit 12 mm
(1/2") away from the wall surface or
place other hand on surface
approximately 30 cm (12") from sensor.
Warning; shielded wires or live wires in
metal conduits, casings, metallised
walls or thick, dense walls, will not be
detected. Always turn AC power off
when working near wiring.
The IntelliSensor™ Pro is designed to
detect 110 volts (for USA version) and
230 volts (for European version) AC in live
electrical wires. It will also detect the
presence of live wires exceeding 230
volts.
