Scan: The LEDs indicate the centre and the edges of beams and hidden
objects..
Live wire warning: The presence of live lines is indicated when the lightning symbols light up.
Device off: Release the On button (3). 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. Move the tool slowly across the surface.
Tip 1: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your free hand and
other objects at least 15 cm away from the StarSensor 50.
Tip 2: 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.
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 Star Sensor 50 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.
! Always switch off the power supply when working near electric wires.
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.
