Frequently Asked Questions - 9623 STI
What is the STI 9623 detector used for?
The STI 9623 is a multi-function wall scanner designed to locate wood studs, metal studs, and live AC wires behind drywall and other surfaces.
How does the detector differentiate between wood, metal, and live wires?
It uses different sensing technologies such as capacitance for wood, magnetic/electromagnetic induction for metal, and non-contact voltage detection for AC wires. Simply switch the mode accordingly.
What is the maximum detection depth?
The maximum depth is 1.5 inches for wood, 3 inches for metal, and 2 inches for live wires, depending on the surface material.
How do I calibrate the detector before scanning?
Place the detector flat on the wall in a no-object area, press and hold the calibration button until the indicator stabilizes, then begin scanning.
Does the detector require batteries? What type?
Yes, it requires a single 9V alkaline battery (not included). Install it in the compartment at the back of the unit.
Can the detector detect copper pipes under tile or concrete?
It can detect metallic objects at moderate depth, but performance may be reduced over very thick or dense materials like tile or concrete. Use the metal mode with caution.
Is it safe to use the live wire mode near electrical outlets?
Yes, the non-contact voltage detection allows you to safely detect live wires without touching them. However, always follow standard safety procedures and turn off power when doing actual work.
Why does the detector beep continuously?
Continuous beeping often indicates the battery is low or the unit needs calibration. Replace the battery first. If the issue persists, re-calibrate on a clear surface.
Can I use the detector for professional construction purposes?
The STI 9623 is suitable for light professional use and DIY projects. For heavy industrial applications, consider a more advanced model with extended features.
How should I clean and store the detector?
Clean with a soft, slightly dry cloth and keep the device free of dust and moisture. Store it in a dry place at room temperature. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
