The rst three options are for stud detecting at dierent depths, which are ½”
(12.7mm), 1” (25.4mm) and 1 ½” (38.1mm).
The forth option is for detecting metal, such as ½” rebar up to a depth of 2.36”
(60mm).
The nal option is for detecting AC power cables up to a depth of 2” (51mm).
Calibrating Before Use
After a mode has been selected you will need to calibrate the detector.
THIS MUST BE DONE EVERY TIME THE DETECTOR HAS BEEN TURNED
ON FOR USE. To do this place the detector at against any surface, but away
from AC cable and metal. Press and hold the ‘Calibrate’ button on the side of the
hand grip until you see the indicator bar drop on the screen and a beep can be
heard. Wait 2-3 seconds before use.
WARNING
DO NOT rely exclusively on the detector to locate items behind scanned
surfaces. Use information sources such as plans, visible electrical and pipe
outlets/entry points to locate objects before penetrating the surface.
