Operating/Safety Instructions
FRANKLIN SENSORS PROSENSOR M90, M92 & M150
Congratulations on selecting a Franklin Sensors stud finder – the most
advanced wall sensing technology on the market. Your ProSensor incorporates
advanced technology that precisely senses the surface in multiple locations
simultaneously, then instantly identifies the location(s) of hidden object(s).
It is quick, easy and accurate.
SAFETY RULES FOR
THE ProSensor M90, M92 & M150
WARNING: Read all instructions before use. Failure to follow safety
instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury and
death.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: It is possible that there may be wood, metal, wiring, or other
objects behind the surface that are not detected. The stud finder may also
detect pipes, wires, or other objects. The stud finder is designed to detect
any change in density but does not identify what type of object it detects.
The illuminated LEDs may indicate the location of many different features
including, but not limited to, studs, beams, water pipes, gas pipes, wires, an
inconsistency in the surface material or paint, etc.
WARNING: TURN OFF all gas, water, and electric power before using any
drilling or penetrating the wall.
FAILURE TO TAKE THESE AND OTHER NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ELECTRIC
SHOCK, FIRE, AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO OPERATE:
- Hold the stud finder by the handle. Do not touch the detector outside of the handle area while scanning.
- With the button held down, the LEDs will quickly flow to the center, indicating that the unit has power. You may immediately begin scanning the wall. You may press the button on or off the wall. No calibration is required. As you scan, LED lights will illuminate to display the location of any hidden object.
- LEDs track the center and edges of studs simultaneously. In certain models, the center LED will turn green once the precise center of the stud has been reached.
HEAVY TEXTURE OR IRREGULARITIES:
Franklin Sensors stud finders identify the location of studs by identifying
differences in the density of the material in the wall. Consequently, areas of
heavy texture and/or irregularities in the wall, can also cause the LEDs to
illuminate. When this happens, you know your stud finder is doing its job. To
help determine if you have actually found a stud, continue to press and hold
the button and then scan the wall up and down.
The LED lights will normally remain constant on a stud, whereas the LEDs will
only display sporadically on a wall’s irregularity.
FINDING PIPES AND WIRES:
Franklin Sensors stud finders identify the location of studs by identify
differences in the density of the material in the wall. Consequently, wires or
pipes that are near the surface, can also cause the LEDs to illuminate. When
this happens, you know your stud finder is doing its job. To help determine if
you have found a stud, continue to press and hold the button and then scan the
wall up and down. The LED lights will normally remain constant on a stud,
whereas wires may only make contact in a small area and pipes may have elbows
and branch off which may cause LEDs to only illuminate sporadically.
ALWAYS TAKE THE NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TURN OFF all gas, water and
electric power before penetrating the wall.
LATH AND PLASTER
The ProSensor can see up to 1.5 inches and thus can see through most lath and
plaster walls. When irregularities in plaster thickness and variations in
construction materials exceed this depth, detection is not guaranteed. Also
the stud finder may not be able to detect if the plaster uses metal mesh
reinforcement.
TILE, FLOORING, ROOFING AND EXTERIORS
Due to the variability in thickness and density in tile, roofing and exterior
materials, detection is not guaranteed. FIRE BLOCK OR HORIZONTAL STUDS
When searching for fire blocks or horizontal studs, turn the stud finder
vertically and scan up and down the wall so the sensors can find the density
differences in the wall.
BATTERIES DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
The ProSensor uses 2 AAA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not
mix alkaline, standard or rechargeable batteries. Use 1.5 volt alkaline
batteries only.
When the battery voltage is low, the second LED from the right will flash.
Replace with 2 new batteries.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
-
To remove the battery cover:
-
M150: by gently pushing on the right side and then lifting.
-
M90 & M92: by gently depressing on each side and then lifting.
-
Remove both batteries and dispose of them properly.
Please recycle. -
Replace with new AAA batteries.
-
Close the battery cover by inserting the clip into the battery cavity, gently push the other side of the batter cover inserting the other clip into the battery cavity until it clicks closed.
In select units, when the battery voltage is low, the second LED from the right will flash. Replace with 2 new batteries.
LIVE ELECTRICAL WARNING™ – M150 ONLY
The ProSensor M150 Live Electrical Warning™ works continually while the button
is depressed. When a live electrical wire is detected, the yellow lightning
bolt symbol may illuminate to indicate the presence of live wires.
The ProSensor M150 uses Active Learning Technology™. When detecting live
electrical wires, scan in both directions, passing over the samelocation
multiple times, for a more accurate reading. SENSING THROUGH DIFFERENT
MATERIALS:
Moisture
The scanned surface should be clean and dry. Paint and wallpaper need to be
completely dry before scanning for studs. It may take up to 2 weeks for
wallpaper to dry enough to detect studs.
Foil-Backed Insulation
Although not common, foil-backed insulation can cause inconsistent readings
with all electronic stud finders, including the ProSensor.
Metallic Content in Wallpaper
Wallpaper with metallic content can block the detector’s signals.
STICKERS / DECALS
Do not place decals or stickers, especially those containing metal, on the
sensor board, or on the stud finder in any place.
DISASSEMBLY / TEFLON PADS
Do not disassemble the stud finder or remove the teflon pads on the bottom.
The stud finder will not operate correctly without the teflon pads properly in
place.
Temperature
If the stud finder is subject to a significant temperature change, allow it to
adjust to the ambient temperature before using. The entire area of the sensor
board should be at a similar temperature for best operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CONDITION | PROBABLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
No LED lights come on. | Weak or Rechargeable Batteries. | DO NOT USE |
RECHARGABLE BATTERIES. Replace with 2 new AAA
batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Stud finder only works momentarily.| The “on” button isn’t being held down.|
Hold the “on” button down until you have completed your scan.
Difficulty starting a scan near doors and windows.| Solid headers and triple
studs are often present around doors and windows.
The ProSensor indicates the change in density. If all the sensors sense the
same density, the LEDs will not illuminate.| Begin the scan away from the
window or door, then move the stud
finder to the area around the window or door. For best results, keep
stud finder 3”/7cm away from wood trim, outlets, switches, etc.
The LED lights sometimes seem to light up sporadically or inconsistently.|
Operator is holding the unit near the base rather than on the handle.| Only
hold the unit by the handle with a finger continually
pressing the button.
Franklin Sensors stud finders find any change in density. The sensor’s job is
to identify any changes in density. In the case of heavy texture, pipes and
wires close to the surface of the wall or other irregularities in the wall,
the LEDs may illuminate. When this happens, you know your stud finder is doing
its job!| When you get a reading, continue to press and hold the button and
then scan the wall up and down. The LED lights will remain constant on a stud,
while irregularities will only display temporarily.
