SYMBOLS
TECHNICAL DATA
DESCRIPTION
Meec Tool’s handy stud detector localises studs behind plasterboard and wooden walls. It has both audible and light signals to indicate that you have found a stud. The stud detector runs on a 9 V battery (sold separately in Jula’s department stores and at www.jula.com).
USE
BATTERY
Open the battery cover on the back of the product and insert a 9 V battery. Make sure that the battery terminals are correctly positioned, otherwise the product will not work. Then close the battery cover.
Low battery level indicator
The red status lights on the product start flashing when the battery becomes discharged. Replace the battery when this happens, otherwise the product will not produce reliable results.
HOW TO USE
WARNING!
Be careful when nailing, screwing, or drilling etc. in walls, ceilings or floors where there can be cables or pipes near the surface. Studs are normally placed at intervals of about 40 to 60 cm and are about 3S-40 mm in width. Objects with other widths or at different intervals may be something else.
Starting/switching off
Press the power switch to switch off the stud detector and release to switch
off. Calibration is automatic as soon as the detector is started.
For this reason, press it against the surface before pressing the switch.
Calibration
- Press the stud detector against the surface and press the power switch. The stud detector starts and automatically calibrates, which is indicated by a green light.
- Hold the product still and flush with the surface until an audio prompt indicates that the calibration is done. This usually takes a few seconds. The green status light stays on after the calibration.
Detection
-
After the calibration, move the stud detector slowly along the wall horizontally. Do not tilt or lift it.
FIG. 1 -
When the bottom status light goes on, continue moving the stud detector horizontally until the top red status light goes on and an audio prompt is given.
FIG. 2 -
Mark this point as one edge of the stud.
FIG. 3 -
Continue detecting in the same direction until the red status lights go off.
FIG. 4 -
Now move the stud detector in the opposite direction to detect the other edge of the stud in the same way. Mark this point as well. The centre of the stud lies in the middle of the two markings.

DETECTION OF AC VOLTAGE CONDUCTORS
WARNING!
It is not certain that screened conductors, or conductors behind thick walls, metal walls, or high density walls, will be detected. Always switch off the power when working near electric cables.
