switches itself on. To switch between the metric and the Anglo-American units of measurement, press and hold the button MODE

and release both buttons simultaneously. When you release the buttons, the mea- surement units change. Note: Measurements start at the measurement point

Should the measurement lie outside the measurement range, „Err“ or an illogical number appear in the display. The measurement range lies between 0,6 m (2’) and 16 m (53’).

2. Hold the appliance upright towards the wall to which you wish to measure

the distance. The ultrasound sender/receiver

must be at a right-angle to the wall. For this, use the spirit level: The bubble in the glass

must stand between the marking lines (see Fig. 1).

. The distance measured appears in the display

pressed down and slowly move the appliance over the surface to be measured, the appliance continually measures the distances. These are shown on the display

.- 30 - Take note of the following illustrations: Fig. 1 Fig. 2 The further you are from the wall, the wider is the area (a) that the Multi-Purpose Detector must measure by ultrasound (Fig. 2). Therefore take care that the Multi-Purpose Detector is always directed at a right angle towards a level surface (Fig. 1 and 3). Ensure that there are no objects positioned within the measurement area. False! (Fig. 3) The display illumination glows during the measurement. If a button is not pressed within ca. 15 seconds, the illumination extinguishes. After a further ca. 15 se- conds the diplay itself switches off. Press the button READ

, to reactivate the display and the illumination. Note: Inaccurate measurements can also occur through a weak battery. If the battery is too weak, the battery symbol appears in the display.- 31 - Adding distances together You can add the measured distances together:

1. Measure the first distance as described.

, „+“ appears and the distance measured carries itself over to the lower line.

3. Measure the next distance. The newly measured distance is shown in the

• Before using the appliance for this task, first test it by locating a pipeline or electrical power cable at a known position.

• In cases of doubt, always ask a qualified building contractor. Attention! Should the appliance find a live wire carrying alternating current, appears in the display. Under no circumstances should you drill at this location! Danger of electric shock!- 33 - The locating of concealed objects is the same in all three modes (STUD = wood, AC WIRE = live electric power cables, METAL = metal).

to STUD, AC WIRE or METAL.

3. First of all, the appliance must be calibrated. Place it flat against the wall

where you wish to search for concealed objects.

until the arrows on the display disappear and two short beeps are heard. The appliance has now adjusted itself to the wall thickness. Continue to keep the button PUSH

5. Move slowly along the wall with the appliance. As the arrows in the dis-

play move closer to the centre of the display, you are getting closer to the concealed object. When the arrows touch and a constant signal tone is heard, mark this position (see Fig. 4). Fig. 4

6. Now repeat the procedure, but this time approach the object from the

other side. As soon as the signal tone sounds, mark this position (see Fig. 4). The concealed object runs between these two positions.- 34 - Locating wood objects

1. Proceed with the search for wood objects as described in the section

„Locating concealed objects“.

2. When the Multi-Purpose Detector has found an object, mark it.

To be sure that the object is wood, slide the material switch

3. Now search in the same position for metal. Should the Multi-Purpose

Detector. not find anything, then the object is wood. Should it find something, then the object is metal. In this case, search again at a different position in the mode „STUD“ and re- peat steps 1 to 3. Laser marking The appliance contains a Class 2 laser. NEVER direct the laser beam at people or animals. NEVER look directly into the laser. The laser can cause serious eye damage. You can use laser marking for the exactly horizontal positioning of pictures, shelves etc.

to „LASER“. A laser line is projected. Horizontal laser line Attention! Exercise caution with the holding pins. They are sharp and can cause injuries.

1. Hold the Multi-Purpose Detector horizontally against the wall and align it

with the assistance of the spirit level

. The air bubble must stand between the two marking lines.

2. Push both of the holding pins (

) buttons firmly downwards. The pins lightly bore themselves into the wall so that the appliance does not fall to the floor. The laser throws a horizontal line onto the wall. Note: The holding pins do not function on stone or metal walls. The walls must have a soft upper surface.- 35 - Vertical laser line

1. Secure a strong thread in the eyelet above the measurement point

2. Hang the Multi-Purpose Detector on the wall at the position where

you want to project the vertical line. The Multi-Purpose Detector hangs like a plumbline, perpendicularly downwards. The laser throws a vertical line onto the wall. Battery display A battery symbol appears in the display

when the battery is weak resp. almost discharged. Replace the battery as soon as possible (see section „Inserting the battery“). If you do not, the measurements will be false. Cleaning and storage
