levenhuk-Ping-SD20-Stud-Detector-product

The Ermenrich Ping SD20 Stud Detector is a device used to locate studs, metal, and AC cables behind walls. The device has the following features:

Center indicator (1)
Signal strength indicator II (2)
Signal strength indicator I (3)
Battery status indicator (4)
Power/scan button (5)
Battery compartment cover (6)

Getting Started

Open the battery compartment cover (6) and insert a battery according to the correct polarity. Close the cover.

Calibration

Place the device flat against any surface that is free of studs, metal, and AC cables. Press and hold the Power/scan button (5) until the red (1) and green (4) indicators flash and the beeping sound is heard. The calibration is complete when the green light is on. Do not move the device until the calibration is complete. Wait for 3 seconds after the calibration is complete before using the device. Calibration must be done every time the device has been turned on for use.

Usage

To use the device, place it against a wall and press and hold the Power/scan button (5). Move the device slowly along the wall and observe the center indicator (1) and signal strength indicators II (2) and I (3). The center indicator will light up when a stud, metal, or AC cable is detected. The signal strength indicators will show the strength of the detected object. If you are receiving erratic scanning results, it may be a result of humidity, moisture within the wall cavity or drywall, or recently applied paint or wallpaper that isn’t fully dried.

Low Battery Indicator

If the battery status indicator (4) starts flashing, immediately change the battery.

Usage

Complete the calibration and place the device flat against the examined surface. Press and hold the Power/scan button (5) and slowly move the detector across the surface in the direction you want to scan. When the device detects the edge of a stud, signal strength indicators (2, 3) light up. Mark the point where the center indicator (1) flashes red. Start moving the device in the opposite direction and then mark where the center indicator (1) lights up again. The two marked points indicate the edges of a stud, and the midpoint of the marks indicates the center of the stud.
If you are receiving erratic scanning results, it may be a result of humidity, moisture within the wall cavity or drywall, or recently applied paint or wallpaper that isn’t fully dried.
