B) Depends on the size and type of the object, as well as the mater-ial and state of the base materialC) Only non-conductive deposits occur, whereby occasional tem-porary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.The serial number(8) on the type plate is used to clearly identify yourmeasuring tool.u The accuracy and detection depth of the measuring result may be negatively affected if the base material is of poor quality. For the signal test, which checks whether the measuring tool is receiving a faulty signal, the conductivity criterion and level are used that are defined in ETSI TS103361 (V1.1.1) section9.4.1 for an object depth of d=60mm. The following criterion for conductivity is used for the inter- ference resistance test: Under certain conditions (e.g. electrostatic discharge or ap- plication of electromagnetic fields), the measuring results may be lost and it may be necessary to reset the measuring tool by removing and replacing the batteries. Fitting Inserting/changing the Batteries It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batter- ies to operate the measuring tool. Push the locking mechanism(5) in the direction of the arrow to open the battery compartment cover (4) and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries/re- chargeable batteries. When doing so, ensure that the polar- ity is correct and corresponds to the diagram in the battery compartment. The battery indicator(b) in the top status bar of the dis- play(16) indicates the state of charge of the batteries. Note: Pay attention to the battery symbol as it changes to ensure that you replace the batteries in good time. Please change batteries If the warning message <Please change batteries> appears on the display(16), the settings are saved and the measuring tool switches off automatically. It is no longer possible to carry out measurements. Replace the batteries. To remove the battery/batteries, apply pressure to the rear end of a battery as shown in the battery compartment cover diagram (1.). The front end of the battery is freed from the battery compartment (2.), allowing the battery to be easily removed. Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity. u Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The bat- teries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage. Operation u Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight. u Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme tem- peratures or variations in temperature. In case of large variations in temperature, leave the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching it on. The accuracy of the measuring tool and the functionality of the display may be compromised if ex- posed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperat- ure. u Do not attach any stickers or labels to the sensor area(9) on the rear of the measuring tool. Metal labels in particular will affect measuring results. u The use or operation of transmitters such as WLAN, UMTS, radar, transmitter masts or microwaves in the surrounding area may affect the measuring function. u Certain ambient conditions fundamentally impair the measuring results. These include, e.g. the proximity of devices that generate strong electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields, moisture, metal building ma- terials, foil-laminated insulation materials or conduct- ive wallpaper or tiles. Therefore, also refer to other in- formation sources (e.g. construction plans) before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.How it works (seefigureB)

The measuring tool checks the base material of the sensor area (9) in the meas- urement directionA up to the displayed measuring depth. You can only carry out a measurement while the measuring tool is being moved in travel directionB and with a minimum measur- ing path of 10cm. Always move the measuring tool in a straight line while apply- ing light pressure to hold it against the wall, so that the wheels remain in contact with the wall. Objects are de- tected that differ from the material of the wall. The ob- ject depth is indicated on the display, as well as the ma- terial of the object, where possible. Optimum results are achieved when the measuring path is at least 40cm and the measuring tool is moved slowly across the entire area to be checked. The tool's function allows for reliable detection of the nearest edges of objects that run transverse to the direction of movement of the measuring tool. For this reason, always move crosswise over the area to be checked. If multiple objects are located over each other in the wall, the display will indicate the object whose surface is nearest to the measuring tool. The properties of the detected objects as shown on the dis- play(16) may differ from the actual object properties. In particular, very thin objects appear thicker on the display. Larger, cylindrical objects (e.g. plastic pipes or water pipes) may appear narrower on the display than they actually are. Detectable objects – Plastic pipes (e.g. water-filled plastic pipes, such as un- derfloor or wall heating pipes, etc. with a diameter of at least 10mm, or empty pipes with a diameter of at least 20mm) – Electrical cables (regardless of whether live or not) – Three-phase power cables (e.g. to oven) – Low-voltage cables (e.g. doorbell, telephone) – All types of metal pipe, rod or carrier (e.g. steel, copper, aluminium) – Reinforcing steel – Wooden beams – Cavities Possible measurements – In concrete/reinforced concrete – In masonry (bricks, porous concrete, expanded concrete, pumice, calcareous sandstone) – In lightweight partition walls – Beneath surfaces such as plaster, tiles, wallpaper, par- quet, carpet – Behind wood, plasterboard Special measuring cases Unfavourable conditions fundamentally impair the measur- ing result: – Multi-layered walls – Empty plastic pipes and wooden beams in cavities and lightweight partition walls – Objects lying at an angle in the wall – Wet wall material – Metal surfaces – Cavities in a wall; these may be displayed as objects – Proximity to devices that generate strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, e.g. mobile phone base stations or generators Start-up Switching on/off u Before switching on the measuring tool, ensure that the sensor area(9) is dry. If necessary, use a cloth to dry the measuring tool. u If the measuring tool has been exposed to a significant change in temperature, leave it to adjust to the ambi- ent temperature before switching it on. Switching on – To switch on the measuring tool, press the on/off but- ton(15) or the start button(11). – The LED(17) lights up green and the start screen ap- pears on the display(16) for 4s. – If you do not carry out a measurement or press a button on the measuring tool, it switches off automatically after 5min. You can change this <Cut-off time> in the Settings menu (see "<Cut-off time>", page20). Switching off – To switch off the measuring tool, press the on/off but- ton(15). – When the measuring tool is switched off, all settings se- lected in the menus are retained. Switching audio signal on/off The audio signal can be switched on and off using the audio signal button(13). In the Settings menu, select the signal types in the <Tone signal> sub-menu (see "<Tone signal>", page20). Measuring process Switch on the measuring tool. The default display screen ap- pears on the display(16).

NextSensor 0 cm 0 cm Move Place the measuring tool onto the wall and move it over the wall the direction of travel (see "How it works (seefigureB)", page17)The measuring results are shown on the dis- play(16) after a minimum measuring path of 10cm. To ob- tain accurate measuring results, move the measuring tool slowly over the entire area you believe to be occupied by an object in the wall. If you lift the measuring tool away from the wall during the measuring process, or do not use it (movement, press of button) for longer than 2min, the last measuring result ob- tained remains on the display. The message<Hold> appears on the display for the sensor range(c). Place the measuring tool against the wall again, move it again or press the start button(11) to begin a new measuring process. If the LED(17) lights up red, there is an object within the sensor range. If the LED(17) lights up green, there is no ob- ject within the sensor range. If the LED(17) flashes red, there is a live object within the sensor range. u Before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, refer to other sources of information to ensure that you elim- inate hazards. Since the measuring results can be influ- enced by ambient conditions or the wall material, there may be a hazard even though the indicator does not indic- ate an object within the sensor range (the LED (17) lights up green). Display elements (see figure A) If there is an object within the sensor range, it will appear on the display inside the sensor range(c). Depending on the size and depth of the object, the measuring tool may be able to identify its material. The object depth(l) from the nearest edge of the detected object is displayed in the status bar. Note: Both the object depth indicator(l) and the material property indicator(m) relate to the object shown in black on the sensor screen. The object material indicator(m) can show the following properties:

Non-magnetic, but metal, e.g. copper pipe

Material property unknown The live cable indicator(n) can show the following proper- ties: – Live Note: No further property is displayed for live ob- jects.

Unclear whether live or not Note: Three-phase power cables may not be recognised as live cables. High relative humidity (>50%) can significantly limit the measuring tool's ability to detect the property "live". Location of objects To locate objects, moving the measuring tool once over the measuring path is sufficient. If you do not find an object, repeat the movement perpendic- ular to the original measurement direction (see "How it works (seefigureB)", page17). To identify the exact location of a detected object and to mark the object, move the measuring tool back over the measuring path. Concrete Prev Next Sensor

(1) When an object appears in the centre below the centre line(k) on the display(16), as in the example, you can mark it roughly with the top marking aid(1). This marking will only be accurate if the object is straight and positioned exactly vertically, as the sensor area is located slightly below the top marking aid. Concrete Prev Next Sensor

(3) To mark the object accurately on the wall, move the measur- ing tool to the left or right until the found object is located below an outer edge. When the found object is, for example, shown in the centre of the display(16) below the dashed right-hand line(g), you can mark it accurately using the right marking aid(3). The course of a detected object in the wall can be determ- ined by covering several measuring paths one after the other (see figure I) (see "Examples of measuring results", page20). Mark and connect each of the measurement points. Press the start button(11) to delete the display of a detec- ted object at any time and to start a new measurement.Changing the operating mode Use the select buttons(10) and(12) to switch between thedifferent operating modes.– Briefly press the select button(10), to select the next op-erating mode.– Briefly press the select button(12), to select the previ-ous operating mode.By selecting the operating modes, you can adjust the meas-uring tool to different wall materials. The mode currently setis visible in the (h) area of the display.<Concrete Universal> (default)The operating mode <Concrete Universal> is suitable formost applications in masonry or concrete. It displays plasticand metal objects, as well as electrical cables. Cavities inbuilding brick or empty plastic pipes with a diameter of lessthan 2cm may not be displayed. The maximum measuringdepth is 8cm.<Concrete Wet>The operating mode <Concrete Wet> is especially suitablefor applications in wet concrete. It displays reinforcing steel,plastic and metal pipes, as well as electrical cables. It doesnot differentiate between live and non-live cables. The max-imum measuring depth is 6cm.Please note that concrete requires several months to dry outcompletely.<Concrete Special>The operating mode <Concrete Special> is especially suit-able for detecting objects deep in reinforced concrete. It dis-plays reinforcing steel, plastic and metal pipes, as well aselectrical cables. The maximum measuring depth is 15cm.If too many objects are displayed, it is possible that you aremoving the measuring tool along a length of reinforcing steel.If this occurs, offset the measuring tool by a few centimetresand try again.<Panel Heating>The operating mode <Panel Heating> is especially suitablefor detecting metal, metal-composite and water-filled plasticpipes and electrical cables. Empty plastic pipes are not dis-played. The maximum measuring depth is 8cm.<Drywall>The operating mode <Drywall> is suitable for locatingwooden beams, metal supports and electrical cables in dry-walls (wood, plasterboard, etc.). Filled plastic pipes andwooden beams appear identical on the display. Emptyplastic pipes are not recognised. The maximum measuringdepth is 8cm.<Metal>The operating mode <Metal> is suitable for locating metalobjects and live cables when other operating modes do notdeliver satisfactory results in a range of wall situations. Inthis operating mode, more objects are detected; however,the accuracy is lower.High relative humidity (>50%) can significantly limit themeasuring tool's ability to detect objects.<Signal View>The operating mode <Signal View> is suitable for use on allmaterials. The signal strength at each measuring point is in-dicated. In this operating mode, objects in close proximity toeach other can be accurately located and the signal path isused to better determine complex material compositions.

The vertex of the parabolic curve is shown on the small ruleabove the operating mode indicator(h). The object depth isdisplayed and, as far as possible, the material properties.The maximum measuring depth is 15cm.u The object depth cannot be extrapolated from the sig-nal strength.
