Safety instructions
– The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and
within the scope of the specifications.
– The structure of the device must not be modified in any way.
– Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations and
only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
– Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures,
moisture or significant vibration.
– Switch off the device before removing the battery.
– The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail, the
battery charge is weak, or the housing has been damaged.
– Take particular care when the AC warning is displayed (corresponds to
voltages > 50 Vrms)
– Attention: The voltage warning display may become unreliable due to shielded
cables or insulation, and dangerous voltage may be present even if it is not
displayed as such.
– The measuring device must not be used as a substitute for a two-pole zero
potential test.
Additional information on use
Observe the technical safety regulations for working on electrical systems,
especially:
- Safely isolating from power supply,
- Securing to prevent system being switched on again,
- Checking zero potential, two-pole,
- Earthing and short-circuiting,
- Securing and covering adjacent live components.
Safety instructions
Dealing with electromagnetic radiation
– The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations
and limit values in accordance with EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU.
– Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol
stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply. Electronic
devices can potentially cause hazards or interference or be subject to hazards
or interference.
– The measuring accuracy may be affected when working close to high voltages
or high electromagnetic alternating fields.
– Precautions: Do not use any other StarFinder Plus within a distance of 5 m.
Do not use any electronic transmitters or electric motors in the vicinity.
Insert battery
Open the battery compartment on the housing‘s rear side and insert a 9V battery. Correct polarity must be observed.
Operation
Switch on: Briefly press the On/Off button (4).
Switch off: Keep the On/Off button (4) pressed for 2 seconds.
AutoShutOff: The device will automatically switch itself off about 30 seconds
after the last measurement.
Symbols
Red = Live wire warning
AC-SCAN mode
Green = live wire is nearby
Red = live wire found
STUD-SCAN mode
Green/Red: object is nearby
Green: object found
Calibration
Auto-Calibration
The automatic calibration is performed in AC-SCAN measurement immediately when
the device is switched on and when the measuring mode is switched. During
calibration, the display shows „CAL“. Do not move the device during this
process. Once „CAL OK“ appears on the display, tracing can be started.
Manual calibration
Pressing the CAL button (5) manually calibrates the device. This allows
measurements to be restarted and objects to be isolated more precisely.
Maximum sensitivity is achieved when the device is held in the air while
calibrating. This can be useful for AC-SCAN measurements.
The device and the wall must maintain contact during calibration in STUD-SCAN mode and throughout the entire measurement process. A hand should remain at the device the entire time as well.
Select measurement mode
Briefly press the Mode button (4).
AC-SCAN: Locating live lines directly under non-metallic cladding.
STUD-SCAN: Detecting wooden wall beams and joists as well as metal in
drywall structures under non-metallic cladding.
Measuring in STUD-SCAN mode
Detecting wooden wall beams and joists as well as metal in drywall structures,
e.g. under gypsum fibreboard, wood panels or other non-metallic cladding.
– Select STUD-SCAN (button 4)
– ON WALL: Place the tool against the wall
– PRESS CAL: Press the calibration button (5) and wait until calibration is
completed: CAL OK
– MOVE: Move the tool slowly across the surface.
Tip 1: The position between the two markings is the mid-point of the stud.
Tip 2: The position where you start is important: First place the tool in a
position where you know there is no stud. Otherwise, the message “ERROR” will
appear in the display. To remedy:
Move the tool to another position a few centimetres away and start measuring
again.
Tip 3: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your free hand and other
objects at least 15 cm away from the StarFinder Plus.
Tip 4: The StarFinder Plus will only find the outside edge of double studs and
headers which may be fitted around doors, windows and corners.
Tip 5: Ensure that you have really detected a stud. To do so, check on both
sides whether other studs are present at equal distances, usually at 30, 40 or
60 cm. Also check that it is a stud by scanning at several places directly
above and below the position of the first find.
Tip 6: Textured ceiling: The ceiling must be covered with protective
cardboard.
Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not indicate it
clearly.
If electric wires or metal or plastic pipes are located near or in contact with a plaster fibreboard panel, they may be identified by the StarFinder Plus as studs.
Special things to note with various materials
It may not be possible to detect wooden studs or joists through the following
materials:
– Ceramic floor tiles
– Fitted carpeting with padded backing
– Wallpaper with metal fibres or metal foil
– Freshly painted, damp walls. These must have dried for at least one week.
Measuring in AC-SCAN mode
For localising live wires directly beneath the plaster or behind wooden panels
and other non-metallic panelling. It is not possible to detect live wires in
dry walls with metal studs.
– Select AC-SCAN (button 4).
– As soon as the display switches from CAL to CAL OK, you can move the device.
– MOVE: Move the tool slowly across the surface.
Tip 1: Manual calibration should be performed near the place found last as
shown in Image B/C. Repeat this step as needed.
Tip 2: Because of static charges, electric fields may be detected at the side
of the actual position of the wire. To carry away these charges, lay your free
hand on the wall.
Tip 3: Move the tool slowly as friction can generate interfering electric
charges.
Tip 4: If you suspect that wires must be present but cannot find any, this may
be because they are shielded in conduits.
Use STUD-SCAN in order to localise conduits.
Tip 5: Metal in walls (e.g. metal studs) transmit electrical fields and may
therefore cause interference. In this case, switch to STUD-SCAN in order to
find the wire.
Tip 6: The position where you start is important: To achieve maximum
sensitivity, start by placing the device in a position which is known not to
be near live wires.
Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not indicate it
clearly.
Wires which are at a depth of more than 4 cm may not be detected.
STUD-SCAN: Current monitoring
Continuous current monitoring in as soon as an electrical field is detected.
Information on maintenance and care
Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents,
scouring agents and solvents. Remove the battery(ies) before storing for
longer periods. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
