The best results can be obtained in homogeneous, dry substrates. In ad- dition, a deviation in the indicated object depth of ±0.5mm/cm for objects deeper than 60mm must be taken into account. B) Depends on the material and condition of the substrate C) Only non-conductive deposits occur, whereby occasional temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected. D) Depends on battery in use E) The lithium-ion battery and AA1 battery adapter are not covered by IP5X. The serial number(20) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your measuring tool. 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 43 u The accuracy and detection depth of the measuring result may be negatively af- fected if the condition of the substrate is unfavorable. 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. Operation u Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight. u Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures 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 exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. u Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it. After severe external influ- ences and in the event of abnormalities in the functionality, you should have the measuring tool checked by an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent. 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 materials, foil-laminated insula- tion materials or conductive 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. u Hold the measuring tool by the intended gripping surface (11) only, so as not to influence the measurement. u Do not attach any stickers or labels to the sensor area(19) on the rear of the measuring tool. Metal labels in particular will affect measuring results. Do not wear gloves when taking measurements and make sure that you are properly earthed. If you are not properly earthed, the material identification of "live" wires may be impaired. When taking measurements, avoid devices that emit strong elec- tric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields. If possible, deactivate all tools whose radiation could interfere with the measurement and switch off the corresponding functions or tools. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022)44 | English Measuring Tool Power Supply The measuring tool can be operated either with conventional non-rechargeable batteries or with a Bosch lithium-ion battery. Operation with lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack (seefigureA) u Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your measuring tool. Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your measuring tool can lead to malfunctions or damage to the measuring tool. Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your tool for the first time. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Inter- rupting the charging process does not damage the battery. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the "Electronic Cell Pro- tection (ECP)". A protective circuit switches the measuring tool off when the battery is drained. To insert the charged battery pack(10), slide it into the battery bay(25) until you feel it engage. To remove the battery pack(10), press the release buttons (9) and pull the battery pack out of the battery bay(25). Do not use force to do this. Operation with non-rechargeable batteries (seefigureB) It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool. The batteries are inserted into the battery adapter. u The battery adapter is intended only for use in designated Bosch measuring tools and must not be used with power tools. To insert the batteries, slide the receptacle (28) of the battery adapter into the battery bay(25). Place the batteries in the receptacle as shown in the picture on the cap(27). Slide the cap over the receptacle until you feel it click into place. To remove the batteries(26), press the release buttons(9) of the cap(27) and pull off the cap. Make sure that the batteries do not fall out by holding the measuring tool with the battery bay(25) facing up- wards. Remove the batteries. To remove the receptacle(28) from in- side the battery bay, reach into the receptacle and pull it out of the measuring tool, ap- plying light pressure to the side wall as you do so. Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same man- ufacturer and which have the same capacity. 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 45 u Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a pro- longed period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during pro- longed storage in the measuring tool. Starting Operation Switching on/off u Before switching on the measuring tool, ensure that the sensor area(19) 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 ambient temperature before switching it on. To switch on the measuring tool, press either the on/off button(8) or the red start button(16). To switch off the measuring tool, press the on/off button(8) again. If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx.5minutes and the measuring tool is not moved, the measuring tool will automatically switch itself off to preserve bat- tery life. You can change the switch-off time in the main menu(see "Main Menu", page54). Overview of the measuring modes The measuring tool has the following measuring modes: – <Object Detection>: For detecting objects in walls, floors and ceilings, – <Leakage Detection>: For detecting leaks, – <Distance Measurement>: For measuring distances. You can change the measuring mode in the main menu(see "Main Menu", page54). Measuring Mode <Object Detection> How it Works The measuring tool checks the substrate of the sensor area. Objects that are different from the material of the wall are detected. If multiple objects are located over each other in the wall, the display will indicate the ob- ject whose surface is nearest to the measuring tool. Detectable objects – Plastic pipes (e.g. water-filled plastic pipes, such as underfloor or wall heating pipes, etc. with a diameter of at least 10mm, or empty pipes with a diameter of at least 20mm in solid surrounding material) – Electrical cables (regardless of whether live or not) Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022)46 | English – Three-phase power cables (e.g. to oven) – Low-voltage cables (e.g. doorbell, telephone, network, smart home) – All types of metal pipe, rod or carrier (e.g. steel, copper, aluminium) – Reinforcing steel – Wooden beams – Cavities Special measuring cases Unfavourable conditions fundamentally impair the measuring result: – Multi-layered walls – Empty plastic pipes and wooden beams in cavities and lightweight partition walls – Objects lying at an angle in the wall – Metal surfaces and moist areas; if in a wall, these may be displayed as objects under certain conditions (e.g. high moisture content). Please note that concrete requires several months to dry out completely. – Cavities in a wall; these may be displayed as objects – Proximity to devices that generate strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, e.g. mo- bile phone base stations or generators u Before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, refer to other sources of informa- tion to ensure that you eliminate 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 indicate an object within the sensor range. Change the wall type Always set the appropriate wall type for best possible measuring results. To do this, re- peatedly press the left-hand(14) or right-hand arrow button(7) until the required wall type is displayed. Press the red start button(16) to accept the selection. The maximum measuring depth is 8cm. Any deviations from this value are described in the individual wall types and views. Wall Type <Brick / Universal> The<Brick / Universal> wall type is suitable for most applications in solid masonry or other homogeneous materials. It displays plastic pipes and metal objects as well as elec- trical and other cables. Cavities in masonry or empty plastic pipes with a diameter of less than 2cm may not be displayed. 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 47 Wall Type <Concrete> The<Concrete> wall type is suitable for applications in dry concrete. It displays plastic pipes and metal objects as well as electrical and other cables. Empty plastic pipes with a diameter of less than 2cm may not be displayed. When selecting the wall type, you can additionally set the maximum measuring depth between 8cm and 20cm. Wall Type <Drywall> The<Drywall> wall type is suitable for detecting timber joists and metal supports, as well as electrical and other cables in drywalls (wood, plasterboard, etc.). Filled plastic pipes and wooden beams appear identical on the display. Empty plastic pipes are not re- cognised. Wall Type <Panel Heating> The<Panel Heating> wall type is especially suitable for detecting metal, metal-compos- ite and water-filled plastic pipes and electrical cables. Empty plastic pipes are not dis- played. Wall Type <Vertical Coring Brick> The<Vertical Coring Brick> wall type is especially suitable for applications in vertically perforated bricks. Vertically perforated bricks are bricks with many small, mostly ver- tical, cavities. It displays metal objects, electrical and other cables, as well as water-filled plastic pipes. Cavities or empty plastic pipes may not be displayed. Wall Type <Horizontal Coring Brick> The<Horizontal Coring Brick> wall type is especially suitable for applications in hori- zontally perforated bricks. Horizontally perforated bricks are bricks with a few, mostly horizontal, cavities. It displays flat lying metal objects, electrical and other cables, as well as water-filled plastic pipes up to a maximum measuring depth of 5cm. Cavities or empty plastic pipes may not be displayed. Wall Type <Early Age Concrete> The<Early Age Concrete> wall type is especially suitable for applications in concrete which has not yet fully cured and dried. Metal objects are displayed up to a maximum measuring depth of 6cm. Plastic pipes and cables may not be displayed. A distinction between live and voltage-free conductors is not possible. Please observe that concrete requires several months to cure and dry completely. Change the view To change the view, repeatedly press the top(17) or bottom select button(12) until the required view is displayed. Press the red start button(16) to accept the selection. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022)48 | English <Spot View> In the <Spot View>, a first measuring result is already displayed without moving the measuring tool over the substrate. It is therefore particularly suitable for measurements in corners or narrow places. The maximum measuring depth is 6cm. Objects found are displayed with material properties, if available, but without depth information. Whenever possible, you should also move the measuring tool over the substrate in the<Spot View> to ensure the best possible measurements. Locating plastic pipes and timber joints is particularly limited without moving the measuring tool. Measuring indicator: If no object is found, only the outer circle will appear on the display and it will light up green. If there is an object nearby, the outer circle will light up red. The closer the measuring tool is to an object, the more the deflection in the measuring indicator (number of circles) will increase. The deflection decreases when the measuring tool moves away from the object. Orientation arrows are displayed if the signal strength is sufficient. To specifically locate the object's centre, move the measuring tool in the direction of the orientation arrows. Above the centre of an object, the measuring indicator will exhibit maximum deflection, and with sufficient signal strength, a centre cross is displayed. The colour coding for the material property is identical to that in the<Object View>. If the orientation arrows or the centre cross are not displayed, an object may neverthe- less be located in the immediate vicinity. 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 49 <Object View> The<Object View> offers the best possible measuring results and the maximum meas- uring depths. The detected objects are displayed over the measuring path with depth in- formation and, if available, with material properties. Measuring process: – Place the measuring tool on the substrate and move it over the substrate in the direc- tion of travel. The measuring results are shown on the display after a minimum meas- uring path of approx. 10cm. – Always move the measuring tool in a straight line while applying light pressure over the substrate so that the wheels remain in contact with the wall. – To obtain optimum measuring results, move the measuring tool slowly over the entire area to be checked and observe the measuring results as you move the tool back. The measuring path should be at least 40cm. – You can start a new measurement at any time by pressing the red start button(16). – If you lift the measuring tool away from the wall during the measuring process, the last measuring result obtained remains on the display. The measurement is restarted when the device is set down or moved. 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 (see figureC). For this reason, always move crosswise over the area to be checked. To locate objects, moving the measuring tool once over the measuring path is sufficient. To identify the exact location of a detected object and to mark the object, move the measuring tool back over the measuring path. The direction of a found object in a wall can be determined by moving along several off- set measuring paths one after another. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022)50 | English Measuring indicator: If no object was detected in the sensor range, the dashed lines and the centre line are completely green. If an object was detected under the sensor, it will appear in the sensor range between the two dashed lines of the display. The two dashed lines and the centre line are at least partially red. In the right-hand depth scale, depending on the setting, the object depth to the nearest edge of the found object or the maximum permissible drilling depth is displayed. You can change between the two depths in the main menu. Always use the display of the max- imum permissible drilling depth when using the measuring tool for the corresponding ap- plication. The representation of the properties of detected objects in the display can deviate from the actual object properties. In particular, very thin objects appear thicker on the dis- play. Larger, cylindrical objects (e.g. plastic pipes or water pipes) may appear narrower on the display than they actually are. Depending on type and depth of the object, identification of the material is possible. The type of material can be recognised by the colour of the object in the display: Yellow: Live object Blue: Magnetic metal (e.g. reinforcing steel) Turquoise: Non-magnetic metal (e.g. copper pipe) White: Non-metal material (e.g. wood, plastic) Grey: Material property unknown Information on material identification: – For live objects, no further characteristic is displayed. – Three-phase mains wiring may not be detected as live conductors. – At a relative humidity above 50%, detecting the "live" property may be limited. Marking objects: – If you want to mark a found object on the substrate, move the measuring tool so that the object is centred on the centre line in the display. Use the upper marking aid(1) as well as the left-hand and right-hand marking aid(5) to make a mark on the sub- strate. The centre of the object is located at the intersection point of the drawn mark- ers. – Alternatively, move the measuring tool to the left or right until the found object is centered on one of the two dashed lines in the display. Then it is located under the corresponding outer edge of the measuring tool. Draw a line along this outer edge on the substrate and mark the position of the corresponding lateral marking aid(5) on this line. This is the centre of the object. 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 51 – The direction of a found object in a wall can be marked by moving along several offset measuring paths one after another and connecting the respective markings. <Signal View 2D> The<Signal View 2D> indicates the signal strength at each measuring point in combina- tion with the object depth. The<Signal View 2D> is a variant of the<Object View>. It displays signal strengths instead of object symbols. The maximum signal strength rep- resents the upper edge of the objects. The<Signal View 2D> can be used to locate closely adjacent objects and to better as- sess complicated material structures. Weaker objects and objects in a row can also be found under certain circumstances. Follow the instructions on the measuring process in<Object View>. <Signal View> Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022)52 | English The<Signal View> displays the signal strength at each measuring point without informa- tion on the object depth. The<Signal View> can be used to locate closely adjacent objects and to better assess complicated material structures based on the signal path. Follow the instructions on the measuring process in<Object View>. Measuring Mode <Leakage Detection> In this measuring mode, the relative material moisture of the surface is displayed. It is therefore suitable for locating the point of maximum material moisture and thus a pos- sible leakage. Different materials on the surface, flat lying objects and inhomogeneities in the substrate (such as joints) can distort the result. Measuring Mode <Distance Measurement> In this measuring mode, you can measure distances on the wall. It is only possible to take this measurement in a straight line in the direction of travel of the wheels. Place the measuring tool onto the wall at the starting point for the measurement. The ref- erence point of the measurement is always the top marking aid(1). If necessary, press the red start button(16) to delete the displayed measured value and to start a new measurement. Move the measuring tool over the wall in a straight line in the required direction while ap- plying uniform pressure. The distance to the starting point is continuously measured. The measured value shown on the display is the distance to the starting point for the cur- rent measurement, not the total distance travelled (as you move the tool back towards the starting point, the measured value will be smaller). 1 609 92A 7LD | (06.05.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 53 If a required distance is to be marked on the wall, mark it using the top marking aid(1). Save/transfer the measuring results Saving Measuring Results as an Image A screenshot function is available in the<Object View>. This enables you to save meas- urement results as an image in order to document them or to analyse them later on. Measure the required range as usual. Then press the screenshot button(13). If an SD card is inserted, the images are saved on the card. Otherwise, the images are stored in the internal memory of the measuring tool and can be transferred via the USB Type-C® interface. Data transfer via USB Type-C® interface Open the flap for the USB Type-C® port(4). Connect the USB Type-C® port of the switched-off measuring tool to your PC via the USB Type-C® cable(23). Switch on the measuring tool using the on/off button(8). Open the file browser on your PC and select theBOSCH D‑tect200C drive. The saved files can be copied from the internal memory of the measuring tool, moved to your PC or deleted. As soon as you have completed the required operation, disconnect the drive following the standard procedure. Note: Always disconnect the drive from the operating system of the PC first (eject drive), as failure to do so may damage the internal memory of the measuring tool. Then switch off the measuring tool using the on/off button(8). Remove the USB Type-C® cable(23). Close the flap for the USB Type-C® port(4) to protect it from dust or splashes. Note: Use the USB Type-C® interface to connect the measuring tool to a PC only. The measuring tool may be damaged if connected to other devices. Note: The USB Type-C® interface can only be used for data transfer. Rechargeable bat- teries or other devices cannot be charged by this interface. Data Transfer via SD Card If an SD card is inserted in the measuring tool, images are automatically stored on the card when saved, not in the internal memory of the measuring tool. To insert the SD card, open the flap of the slot(3). Pay attention to the correct orienta- tion when inserting the SD card. Close the flap of the slot(3) to protect it from dust or splashes. Note: Switch off the measuring tool before removing the SD card. Otherwise, the SD card may be damaged.
