Frequently Asked Questions - SHOME-143 Steren
How does the SHOME-143 detect objects behind walls?
The SHOME-143 uses electronic sensors to detect changes in density, metallic properties, and electric fields. It can locate wood studs, metal pipes, and live AC wires behind drywall.
How do I change the battery?
Slide the battery compartment cover located on the back of the device. Insert a new 9V battery (not included) and snap the connector. Replace the cover before use.
Why does my detector give inconsistent readings?
Inconsistent readings often occur when the device is not properly calibrated on a flat surface. Always perform one-touch calibration by placing the unit flat on the wall and holding the button until it beeps. Also avoid using near thick or uneven surfaces.
Can it detect live wires behind concrete?
The detection depth is limited to 3/4 inch (19 mm). Concrete attenuates the signal, so detection may be unreliable on plaster or thick concrete. It works best on standard drywall.
What is the accuracy of stud detection?
When properly calibrated, the stud detection is accurate to within ±1/8 inch (3 mm). Always mark the edges of the stud for a more accurate location.
Does it have an auto power-off feature?
Yes, the SHOME-143 automatically powers off after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
How deep can it detect metal objects?
For a 1-inch nail or screw, maximum detection is about 3/4 inch (19 mm) behind drywall. Larger metal pipes may be detected at a slightly greater depth, but depth varies with size.
How should I clean and maintain the detector?
Clean the housing with a soft dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical solvents. Keep the sensor area free of debris and store the device in a dry place.
Is the SHOME-143 suitable for professional use?
It is designed for home DIY and light professional use. For heavy continuous professional use, consider a more advanced model. Regular calibration and proper technique are essential.
What is the warranty period?
Steren offers a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your purchase receipt and contact Steren technical support for service.
