Use
Tip for distance measurement
In order to avoid measuring errors, please note the following information:
The measurement is performed by ultrasound, which travels from the ultrasonic sender/receiver 16 in a conical manner. The ultrasound is reflected from the target area and received by the ultrasonic receiver.
The product calculates the measured length (see Fig. F) from the travel time of the ultrasonic signal.
In order to guarantee an exact measurement, the following conditions should be maintained (see Fig. F):
- Make sure that the product is always directed at a right angle towards a flat surfaced wall (see Fig. F).
- The further you are from the wall, the wider is the area (a) that the product requires to do the measurement (see Fig. G).
- The measuring distance range should not exceed 0.6 m to 16 m.
-E nsure that there are no objects positioned within the measurement area, which could reflect the ultrasound prematurely (see Fig. H). The conical path of the ultrasound has to be width of 6 m at a length of 16 m (see Fig. F). - The target area must have a smooth surface, so that the ultrasound can be well reflected.
- Transparent surfaces, such as glass, generally reflect the ultrasound.
- The battery must not be empty. An empty battery is shown in the display 2 by the battery symbol □.
- If a definitive measurement is not possible, the display shows the "Err" information. The measurement must then be repeated.
Steps to do distance measurement
- Slide the function switch 9 to "DISTANCE". The display 2 switches itself on. You can switch between meter and feet. To switch between meter and feet, press and hold the MODE button 4. Then press the READ button 6 and release both buttons simultaneously. When you release the buttons, the measurement units change.
Note: The measuring unit can also be changed after any measurement by following above mentioned step 1.
- Measurements start from the measurement point 1.
- 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 and 16 m (see Fig. F).
- Make sure that there is no "Err" message shown on the display before any measurement. "Err" message can always be cleared by pressing the "MODE" key briefly. If "Err" message still exists, press the "MODE" key repeatedly until the "Err" message is cleared from the display.
- Hold the product upright towards the wall to which you wish to measure the distance. The ultrasound sender / receiver 16 must be at a right-angle to the wall. For this, use the spirit level: The bubble in the glass 8 must
stand between the marked lines. (see Fig. F).
- Press the READ button 6 The measured distance will be appeared on the display 2
When you hold the READ button 6 pressed down and slowly move the product over the surface to be measured, the product will continuously measure the distances. Measured values will be shown on the display 2

- Locatingconcealed objects
Hints: Before using the product for this task, first test it by locating a metal pipeline or electrical power cable at a known position. In cases of doubt, always ask a qualified building contractor.
Attention!
Should the product find a live wire carrying alternating current, (A) appears in the display. Under no circumstances should you drill at this location! Danger of electric shock!
- Tips on measurement
- The calibration button must remain pressed during the entire search process (calibration and search).
- If you calibrate too closely to the object or directly on the object, the calibration can fail. If the calibration fails, the LC display shows the full intensity and a long beeping tone sounds or can't search any object in the wall.
- Move and hold the device several centimeters further to the right or left of the previous surface and recalibrate. Start the search process.
- Repeat several times to ensure the detection accuracy.
- Incorrect measurements can occur depending on the nature of the examined wall. Check therefore before every measurement the position of a known wooden or metal beam, of a known void or a known power line. If these are not detected by the device, the substrate is not suitable for a search with this device.
- Avoid touching the LC display during measurements as it may affect the accuracy of the device.
- Please note that power lines can also be located as metal or as beams. Always use the additional voltage search, so that you can exclude any incorrect interpretations.
- Please note that metal beams are also detected in the Beam search "STUD" function. If you find a beam and you want to be sure that it is not a metal beam (or for example a water pipe), use the additional Metal search "METAL".
- Depending on the wall thickness and material, it is possible that the detector
may signal a finding, before it is over the material. In this case mark the start and end of the signalled area at the indentation of the measuring head. The middle of the sought object lies in the middle between the two markings.
- Please note that metal objects are located more readily the easier they can be magnetized.
- This means that iron is detected at a significantly greater distance than copper for example.
- Please note that power lines can only be detected as such, if they are carrying voltage.
- Light switches must always therefore be switched on, so that the conductor is carrying voltage. All the fuses must similarly be inserted or switched on.
- Please note that only voltages of 230 V\~50 Hz are detected.
The locating of concealed objects is the same in all three modes (STUD = wood, AC WIRE = live electric power cables, METAL = metal).
- Slide the function switch 9 to "DETECTOR".
- Slide the material switch 3 to STUD, AC WIRE or METAL.
- First of all, the appliance must be calibrated. Place it flat against the wall where you wish to search for concealed objects.
- Press and hold the PUSH button 14 until the signal tone hums. The appliance has now adjusted itself to the
wall thickness. Continue to keep the PUSH button 14 pressed down.
-
Move slowly along the wall with the appliance. As the arrows in the display move closer to the center 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. D + I).
-
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. I). The concealed object runs between these two positions.
-
In the case of a search for a power line, the voltage sign ( ) also appears in addition to the intensity display.
Locating wooden objects
- Proceed with the search for wood objects as described in the section "Locating concealed objects".
- When the product has found an object, mark it. To be sure that the object is wood, slide the material switch 3 to METAL.
- Now search in the same position for metal. Should the product 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 repeat steps 1 to 3.
Lasermarking
The product 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.
☐ Use the laser marking function to align pictures, cupboards, and other things, vertically or horizontally. Depending up on room environment light, up to 10 m maximum laser line can be projected.
☐ Slide the function switch 9 to the position "LASER". A laser line is projected.
Horizontal laser line
- Hold the product horizontally to a soft surfaced wall (example: Wooden wall). To do this, direct the product so that the air bubble in the vial 8 lies between the two marked lines.
- Slide both the stud buttons 5, 11 firmly downwards. The nails lightly penetrate on the soft surfaced wall to prevent the multi-detector from falling (see Fig. J)
Attention: Exercise care with the studs. These are sharp and can cause injury (see Fig. E). Do not use the stud button on stone or metal wall, but only on walls with a soft surface (example: wooden wall).
Note: In case, a slight angle adjustment is necessary on the projected horizontal laser line, the folding slot 17
can be unfolded (see Fig K). It is to be noted that both stud nails cannot be used while folding slot is unfolded. Ensure to fold back the folding slot after usage.
Vertical laser line
- Attach a thread to the eye at the measuring point 1.
- Hang the product to a point (example: on a nail on the wall), where you would like to project the vertical line. The product hangs vertically downwards like a plumb bob. The laser projects a vertical line on the wall.
