General Safety Rules
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The detector’s ability to detect objects is affected by the proximity of other
equipment that produce strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, and by
moisture, metallic building materials, foillaminated insulation materials
and/or conductive wallpaper.
The detector’s ability to detect wood substructures (studs) is also affected
by inconsistency on the thickness of the surface material, such as plaster and
lath.
It is possible that there may be metal, wood or wiring or something else, such
as plastic pipes, beneath the scanned surface that is not detected.
The detection tool alone should not be relied on exclusively to locate items
below the scanned surface. Use other information sources to help locate items
before penetrating the surface. Such additional sources include construction
plans, visible points of entry of pipes and wiring into walls, such as in a
basement, and standard 16″ and 24″ stud spacing practices.
Before penetrating a surface (such as with a drill, router, saw or nail),
always shut off the electrical power, gas and water supplies. Cutting,
drilling, etc…
into these items when operational can result in personal injury.
For technological reasons, the detection tool cannot ensure 100 % certainty.
To rule out hazards, safeguard yourself each time before drilling, sawing or
routing in walls, ceilings or floors by means of other information sources,
such as building plans, pictures from the construction phase, etc.
Environmental influences, such as humidity or closeness to electrical devices,
can influence the accuracy of the detection tool. Surface quality and
condition of the walls (e. g., moisture, metallic building materials,
conductive wallpaper, insulation materials, tiles) as well as the amount,
type, size and position of the objects can lead to faulty measuring results.
Never swallow button cells. Swallowing button cells can result in severe
internal burns and death within two hours.
Ensure that the button cell is kept out of the reach of children. If you
suspect that someone has swallowed a button cell or that a button cell has
entered the body in another way, seek medical attention immediately.
Ensure that battery replacement is carried out properly. There is a risk of
explosion.
Do not attempt to recharge the button cell and do not short circuit the button
cell. The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
Remove and dispose of drained button cells correctly. Drained button cells may
leak and damage the product or cause personal injury.
Do not overheat the button cell or throw it into fire. The button cell may
leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
Do not damage the button cell and or take the button cell apart. The button
cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
Do not allow damaged button cells to come into contact with water. Leaking
lithium may mix with water to create hydrogen, which could cause a fire, an
explosion, or personal injury.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate the detection tool in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Sparks can be created in the
detection tool which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Electrical safety
Batteries can explode or leak, cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk,
always follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
DO NOT expose the detection tool and battery to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering detection tool will increase the risk of fire and personal injury.
DO NOT short any battery terminals.
DO NOT charge button/coil cell batteries.
Dispose of or recycle batteries per local code.
DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
Personal safety
Do not make any modifications to the tool and battery.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
tool. Do not use a tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a tool may
result in serious personal injury or incorrect measurement results.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Use caution when using detection tools in the vicinity of electrical hazards.
Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep lithium button/coin batteries away from children.
This product contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. If a new or used
lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause
severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always
completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away
from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed
inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
Use and care
Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle tool out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the tool. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the operation. If damaged, tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use the tool, accessories, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
Use detection tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
EXPLOSION or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
BATTERY and increase the risk of fire.
Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the tool or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.

(26). Ensure that the button cell holder is inserted correctly and fully,
as otherwise protection from dust and splashes is no longer guaranteed.
Retighten the screw (25) on the button cell holder (24).
Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep lithium button/coin batteries away from children.
This product contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. If a new or used
lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause
severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always
completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away
from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed
inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
Operating Instructions
Protect the detection tool against moisture and direct sun light.
Do not expose the detection tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in
temperature. In case of large variations in temperature, leave the detection
tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching it on. The accuracy
of the detection tool and the functionality of the display may be compromised
if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
Hold the detection tool only at the intended grip area (11), so as not to
influence the measurement.
Use or operation of transmitting systems, such as WLAN, UMTS, radar,
transmitter masts or microwaves, in the close proximity can influence the
measuring function.
The measuring values can be impaired through certain ambient conditions. These
include, e.g. the proximity of devices that produce strong electric, magnetic
or electromagnetic fields, moisture, metallic building materials,
foillaminated insulation materials or conductive wallpaper or tiles.
Therefore, also observe other information sources (e.g. construction plans)
before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.
Do not wear gloves when taking measurements and make sure that you are
properly earthed. If you are not properly earthed, the classification of the
object (live wire) may be impaired.
Switching on/off
Before switching on the detection tool, ensure that the sensor area (19) is
dry. If necessary, use a cloth to dry the detection tool.
If the detection tool has been exposed to a significant change in temperature,
leave it to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching it on.
To switch on the detection tool, press either the on/off button (8) or the red
start button (16).
To switch off the detection tool, press the on/off button (8) again.
If no button on the detection tool is pressed for approx. 5 minutes and the
detection tool is not moved, the detection tool will automatically switch
itself off to preserve battery life. You can change the switch-off time in the
main menu (see “Main Menu”, page 20).
Overview of the measuring modes
The measuring tool has the following measuring modes:
Measuring Mode
Method of Operation (see figure B)
The detection tool checks the
A
base material of sensor area (9)
in measurement direction A to
SENSOR
the displayed measuring depth.
Measurement is possible only
9
during movement of the
detection tool in the direction of
B
travel B and for a measuring
B
distance of at least 4 in (10 cm).
Move the detection tool in a
straight line with light pressure over the wall
so that the wheels remain in firm contact with
the wall. The object depth and, if possible, the
object material, are indicated on the display.
Optimal results are achieved when the measured distance is at least 15.75 in
(40 cm) and the detection tool is moved slowly over the entire location. This
method of operation ensures reliable detection of outer object edges that run
transverse to the detection tool’s movement direction.
Always move crossways over the area to be checked.
If several objects are located one over the other in the wall, the object that
is indicated in the display is the one nearest to the surface.
The representation of the material types of detected objects in the display
(16) can deviate from the actual object material types. This applies
particularly for very thin objects, which are represented thicker in the
display. Large cylindrical objects (e.g. plastic or water pipes) can appear in
the display smaller than they actually are.
Detectable Objects
Plastic pipes (e.g. water-filled plastic pipes, as used in floor/wall-
heating systems, with at least 3/4″ in diameter; empty pipes with at least 1″
in diameter)
Electrical wiring (independent of whether carrying voltage or not)
Three-phase wiring (e.g. to the stove)
Low-voltage wiring (e.g. for door bell, telephone)
Metal pipes, bars, studs of any type (e.g. steel, copper, aluminim)
Reinforcing steel
Wooden studs
Hollow spaces
Special measuring cases
Unfavorable conditions fundamentally impair the measuring result:
Multi-layered walls
Empty plastic pipes and wooden beams in cavities and lightweight partition
walls
Objects lying at an angle in the wall
Metal surfaces and moist areas; if in a wall, these may be displayed as
objects under certain conditions (e.g. high moisture content). Please note
that concrete requires several months to dry out completely.
Cavities in a wall; these may be displayed as objects
Proximity to devices that generate strong magnetic or electromagnetic
fields, e.g. mobile phone base stations or generators
Before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, refer to other sources of
information to ensure that you eliminate hazards. Since the measuring results
can be influenced by ambient conditions or the wall material, there may be a
hazard even though the indicator does not indicate an object within the sensor
range.
Change the wall type
Always set the appropriate wall type for best possible measuring results. To
do this, repeatedly press the left-hand (14) or right-hand arrow button (7)
until the required wall type is displayed. Press the red start button (16) to
accept the selection.
The maximum measuring depth is 3.15 in (8 cm). Any deviations from this value
are described in the individual wall types and views.
Wall Type <Brick / Universal>
The <Brick / Universal> wall type is suitable for most applications in solid
masonry or other
homogeneous materials. Plastic and metal objects as well as electrical and
other cables are displayed. Cavities in masonry or empty plastic pipes with a
diameter of less than 0.8 in (2 cm) may not be displayed.
Wall Type
The wall type is suitable for applications in dry concrete. It
displays plastic and metal objects as well as electrical and other cables.
Empty plastic pipes with a diameter of less than 0.8 in (2 cm) may not be
displayed.
When selecting the wall type, you can additionally set the maximum measuring
depth between 3.15 (8 cm) and 7.8 in (20 cm).
cables are displayed. A distinction between live and voltage-free conductors
is not possible. The maximum measuring depth is 6 cm.
Please observe that concrete requires several months to cure and dry
completely.
Change the view
To change the view, repeatedly press the top (17) or bottom select button (12)
until the required view is displayed. Press the red start button (16) to
accept the selection.
Wall Type
The wall type is suitable for detecting timber joists and metal
supports, as well as electrical and other cables in drywalls (wood,
plasterboard, etc.). Filled plastic pipes and wooden beams appear identical on
the display. Empty plastic pipes are not recognized.
Wall Type
The wall type is especially suitable for detecting metal,
metal-composite and water-filled plastic pipes and electrical cables. Empty
plastic pipes are not displayed.
Wall Type
The wall type is especially suitable for applications
in vertically perforated bricks. Vertically perforated bricks are bricks with
many small, mostly vertical, cavities. It displays metal objects, electrical
and other cables, as well as water-filled plastic pipes. Cavities or empty
plastic pipes may not be displayed.
Wall Type
The wall type is especially suitable for
applications in horizontally perforated bricks. Horizontally perforated bricks
are bricks with a few, mostly horizontal, cavities. It displays flat lying
metal objects, electrical and other cables, as well as water-filled plastic
pipes up to a maximum measuring depth of 2 in (5 cm). Cavities or empty
plastic pipes may not be displayed.
Wall Type
The wall type is especially suitable for applications in
concrete which has not yet fully cured and dried. Metal objects, plastic and
metal pipes as well as electrical
In the , a first measuring result is already displayed without
moving the detection tool over the substrate. It is therefore particularly
suitable for measurements in corners or narrow places. The maximum measuring
depth is 6 cm. Objects found are displayed with material properties, if
available, but without depth information.
Whenever possible, you should also move the detection tool over the substrate
in the to ensure the best possible measurements. Locating plastic
pipes and timber joints is particularly limited without moving the detection
tool.
Measuring indicator:
If no object is found, only the outer circle will appear on the display and it
will light up green.
If there is an object nearby, the outer circle will light up red. The closer
the detection tool is to an object, the more the deflection in the measuring
indicator (number of circles) will increase. The deflection decreases when the
detection tool moves away from the object.
Orientation arrows are displayed if the signal strength is sufficient. To
specifically locate the object’s center, move the detection tool in the
direction of the orientation arrows.
Above the center of an object, the measuring indicator will exhibit maximum
deflection, and with sufficient signal strength, a center cross is displayed.
The color coding for the material property is identical to that in the <Object
View>. If the orientation arrows or the center cross are not displayed, an
object may nevertheless be located in the immediate vicinity.
