Frequently Asked Questions - SS285 Vevor
How to calibrate the SS285 detector?
Place the device at least 50 cm away from any metallic object. Press the **CAL** button until the screen displays “CAL”. Release and then move the detector. Calibration happens automatically in a few seconds.
What types of materials can the SS285 detect?
The detector can identify **ferrous metals** (nails, steel pipes) and **non-ferrous metals** (copper, aluminum) up to 100 mm deep. It also detects **wood** (beams, joists) and **live electrical cables**.
How does electrical cable detection work?
Activate AC mode and pass the detector along the wall. The device detects the **electromagnetic field** emitted by the cable and emits a sound and visual signal. For safety, turn off the power before drilling.
What to do if the detector emits a continuous alert signal?
A continuous signal may indicate an **incorrect calibration** or a **too thick area**. Repeat the calibration procedure in an open environment. If the problem persists, check the battery condition or contact customer service.
How to replace the SS285 battery?
Slide the **battery compartment** cover open on the back of the device. Remove the old battery and replace it with a **9V battery** (type 6F22) respecting polarity. Close the cover.
What is the maximum detection depth?
The depth depends on the mode: **metal** up to 100 mm, **wood** up to 50 mm, and **AC cables** up to 50 mm. These values are theoretical and vary depending on material density.
Can the SS285 be used on damp walls?
It is not recommended to use the detector on **damp surfaces** due to the risk of electric shock and false readings. Wait until surfaces are perfectly dry before use.
How to distinguish ferrous from non-ferrous metal?
When metal is detected, the SS285 displays a specific icon on the LCD screen: a note indicates whether the metal is **ferrous** (steel, iron) or **non-ferrous** (copper, gold). A differentiated sound signal can also be used.
Can the detector locate wooden beams in a floor?
Yes, by selecting the **wood** mode. The device emits a signal when the sensor passes over a beam or joist. For optimal detection, perform a slow and steady scan.
What safety precautions should be followed?
Never expose the device to water. Use it only as a **locating aid tool** and not as a safety device. Turn off the power before drilling a wall where cables are suspected. Always wear protective equipment.
