Ermenrich Ping SA30 Stud Detector

Getting started

• Open the battery compartment cover (10) and insert the battery according to the correct polarity. Close the cover.
• Press the Power/mode button (8) to turn the device on. The ¾” scan depth indicator (5) lights up as the device enters scanning mode on the ¾” depth mode by default. To change the mode, press the Power/mode button (8).
• Press and hold the Power/mode button (8) for 3 seconds to turn the device off.

Calibration
Place the device flat against any surface that is free of studs, metal, and electrical cables. Turn the device on and select the desired mode. Press and hold the Scan button (9) until a beeping sound is heard. This indicates successful calibration. 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

Choose the desired mode and complete the calibration. Place the device flat against the surface that you want to scan. Press and hold the Scan button (9) and slowly move the detector across the surface in the direction that you want to scan. When the device detects the edge of a stud, the signal strength indicators (2, 3) light up. Use the center mark (1) to mark this point with your pencil. Keep moving the device in the same direction until the signal strength indicators turn out. Start moving the device in the opposite direction and mark the point where the signal strength indicators light up again. Use the center mark (1) again to mark this point. 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.

Live wire alert

• The device can detect electrical cables at a 2″ (51mm) depth when scanning a ¾” (19mm) or 1½” (38mm) depth. When a live AC voltage is detected, the AC warning indicator (6) will flash red.
• Live wire detection will not work beyond a depth of 2″ (51mm) from the scanned surface. Conduits encased in concrete, behind sheer plywood, or metallic wall coverings will cause very limited detection and may not be detected at all.

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