levenhuk-Ermenrich-Ping-SA20-Stud-Detector-product

This product is a stud detector that helps locate studs, metal, and AC cables behind walls. It has several indicators to help determine the location of these materials.

Product Getting started

Open the battery compartment cover (8) 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 (4) until the red (1) and green (7) indicators flash and a beeping sound is heard. The calibration is complete when the green light turns 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.

Product Usage

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.

Getting started

Open the battery compartment cover (8) 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 (4) until the red (1) and green (7) indicators flash and a beeping sound is heard. The calibration is complete when the green light turns on. Do not move the device until the calibration is complete. Wait for 3 seconds after the calibration is complete before using the device.

Attention: Calibration must be done every time the device has been turned on for use.

Usage

Complete the calibration and place the device flat against the examined surface. Press and hold the Power/scan button (4) 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, 5) light up. Continue sliding it in the same direction until the signal strength indicators go down. Start slowly moving the device in the opposite direction until the signal strength indicators (2, 5) light up again. When the device detects the center of a stud, the center indicator (1) lights up. 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.
