Operation
INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERY
Use only 9V battery. Insert the battery into the battery compartment (12) in accordance with the symbols in the battery compartment. Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for a long period. The battery can be corroded or discharged over long periods.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun irradiation. Before switching the measuring tool on, make sure that the sensor area 8 is dry. If required, wipe the measuring tool dry using a cloth.
If the measuring tool was subject to an extreme temperature change, allow it to the adjust to the ambient temperature before switching on. Press ON/OFF button to switch on the instrument. After a short test the detector is ready for operation. The measuring tool automatically enter the function mode of metal detection. It is necessary to calibrate the instrument if you hear sound alarm and see the red light indicator.
The calibration method is: place the instrument on nonmetallic surface or hold it in the hand away from any materials. Press the metal button 7 until you hear sound alarm and green light is lit. Sound alarm and green light indicator show that the calibration has been finished. Release button 7 to detect metal objects.
DETECTION OF OBJECTS
The detection of metal objects
Press button 7 to detect metal objects. Symbol b (the metal detection indicator) is indicated on the display and the green light is lit. Place the measuring tool onto the surface to be scanned and move it side wards, when the measuring tool comes close to a metal object, the amplitude of the measuring indicator g increases. When it moves away from the object, the amplitude decreases, at the position of maximum amplitude, the metal object is located below the center of the sensor. Indicator f is displayed on the display and a steady tone sounds. Indicator d (detection depth value) is displayed on the display when scanning metal objects. The accuracy of depth value is a relation of shape and position of scanning metal objects. Symbol a shows whether metal is magnetic or not.
The detection of wooden objects
When scanning for wooden objects, the detector must come close to the wall.
Then press the wood detection button 6. Don’t move the instrument. Wait for
the completion of calibration. When the calibration will be finished, you will
see green light detector and there will be icon b (wood) on the display.
Place the measuring tool onto the surface and move around. When the detector
come close to the wooden objects, the display scale of g in the display will
gradually increase. When the detector slowly moves away from object, the
display scale will gradually decrease. A loud tone sounds when the instrument
detects the object. If the object is located in the center of sensor area, the
icon f will appear on the display. The instrument makes a steady sound and the
green light is lit.
Scanning for “live” wires
Press button 7 two times to activate “live” wires mode. The icon b appears on
the display. Make the calibration if there is a sound alarm, red light
indicator and the instrument can’t detect the “live” wires.
Calibration: Place the instrument on nonmetallic surface or keep it in the
hand far away from any materials. Press the metal button 7 until you hear
sound alarm and green light is lit. Sound alarm and green light indicator show
that the calibration has been finished. Release button 7 to detect metal
objects.
The detector can detect 50 or 60 Hz (HZ) AC live power cables, other wires can
only be indicated as metal objects. Move the measuring tool over the surface
repeatedly in order to determine the specific location of the live cables.
After moving the measuring tool over the surface several times, the detector
is able to pinpoint the hiding place of “live” wires/conductor.
There is a red light indicator when the measuring tool is very close to the
live wire. Signal tone sound with a rapid tone sequence. “Live”
wires/conductors can be detected easier when power consumers (e.g., lamps,
appliances) are connected to the wire/conductor being sought and switched on.
Wires/conductors with 110 V, 240V and 380 V (three-phase current) are detected
with about the same scan capacity.
Operating Instructions
In accordance with the principles of tool operation, the measuring values can be impaired through certain ambient conditions. These include, e.g. the proximity of other equipment that produce strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, moisture, metallic building materials. Foil-laminated insulation materials or conductive wallpaper. Therefore, please also observe other information sources (e.g. construction plans) before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.
Maintenance and service
Wipe away debris or contamination with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents. In order not to affect the measuring function, decals/stickers or name plates, especially metal ones, may not be attached in the sensor area 8 on the front or back side of the measuring tool. Do not remove the felt pads 7 on the back side of the measuring tool. Replace the felt pads when then are damaged or used. For this, completely remove the felt pads and glue the new felt pads onto the same spots. Store and transport the measuring tool only in the protective case.
Disposal
Measuring tools, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental- friendly recycling.
Only for EC countries:
Do not dispose of measuring tools into household waste! According the European
Guideline 2002/96/EC for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its
implementation into national right, measuring tools that are no longer usable
must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally correct
manner.
Battery packs/batteries: Do not dispose of battery pack/ batteries into
household waste, fire or water. Battery packs/ batteries should be collected,
recycled or disposed of in an environmental-friendly manner.
Only for EC countries:
Defective or dead out battery packs/batteries must be recycled according the guideline 91/157/EEC.
