Frequently Asked Questions - CenterScanner Plus Laserliner

How to use the CenterScanner Plus to drill through a wall?

Place the transmitter TX on the wall using special adhesive paste at the desired drilling point. Turn on the transmitter and the receiver RECV. Move the receiver on the other side of the wall: the positioning LEDs (red arrows) indicate the direction. When the four green squares light up, the positioning is correct. Remove the devices before drilling.

How to know if the receiver is properly aligned with the transmitter?

The positioning LED indicators (7) show red arrows to guide movement. When the four green squares are lit, alignment is perfect. A continuous audible signal also confirms the position.

What to do if the LEDs do not light up or if the device does not work?

First check the batteries: open the compartment and insert 3 AAA batteries respecting polarity. If the problem persists, replace the batteries. Also ensure both devices are turned on (ON button).

What is the maximum detection depth?

Position detection via LEDs is reliable up to 150 cm wall thickness. The depth indicator on the LCD can display up to 200 cm drilling depth. Typical accuracy is 3% of depth.

How to detect live electrical cables?

Activate the voltage detection function by turning on the device. Slowly move the transmitter TX over the surface: the voltage detection LEDs (3) light up near a live cable (230 V AC). Caution: this function does not replace a two-pole voltage absence test.

How to detect hidden metal in a wall?

Use the metal detection function. Turn on the transmitter TX and slowly move it over the surface. The metal detection LEDs (2) light up near metal objects (steel, copper, etc.). Once the point is found, mark it.

How to measure a drilling in a corner or at an angle?

Use two identical wedges whose angle matches the intended drilling angle. Place one wedge under the transmitter TX and the other under the receiver RECV, aligning the center lines of the devices with the drilling direction. Then drill after removing the devices.

How to increase receiver tolerance if alignment is difficult?

Briefly press the On/Off button (11) on the receiver RECV. A longer audible signal confirms switching to higher tolerance mode. Note that this slightly reduces accuracy. Return to normal mode by pressing again or turning off the device.

How to maintain the CenterScanner Plus?

Clean the devices with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasives. Remove batteries if the device is not used for a long period. Store in a dry, clean place away from extreme temperatures.

What to do in case of electromagnetic interference?

Avoid using other CenterScanner Plus devices within 10 meters, as well as transmitting devices or electric motors nearby. Strong electromagnetic fields (near high voltage) can affect accuracy. Follow safety instructions in sensitive environments (hospitals, aircraft).

1. With special adhesive on the back, securely position the transmitter TX at the required drilling point on the wall or ceiling (see Fig. a).

2. Switch on transmitter TX and receiver RECV.

3. Move the receiver RECV on the other side of the wall/ceiling (see Fig. b). With red arrows, the positioning LEDs (7) show the direction of movement. Green squares show that the positions of the transmitter TX and receiver RECV are aligned.

4. Positioning is correct when the four green squares light. After marking the drilling point (see Fig. c), remove the devices from the wall/ceiling and drill the hole.

Remove the devices from the wall/ceiling before drilling. Drilling through the marking aid aperture is at your own risk.

To determine drilling depth >150 cm

170 160 195

The positioning LEDs (7) are suitable for determining drilling depths of up to 150 cm.

At depths >150 cm, the drilling point can be set by determining the minimum drilling depth with the aid of the LC display (9).

To do so, move the receiver over the wall on the X and Y axis and mark the positions on reaching the minimum drilling depth shown on the display from all four directions (right, left, top, bottom to imaginary centre point).

The four markers are on a coordinate cross (X/Y-axis) with its centre point corresponding to the required drilling position.

4 Metal detection

The tool is able to detect hidden metal in all non-metallic materials, e.g. brick, concrete, screed, wood, plaster fibreboard, gas concrete, ceramic and mineral building materials.

1. Switch on device and slowly move it over the surface (see Fig. d). The LED indicators (2) show if there is metal close by. Mark the spot when all indicators are on.

2. Repeat step 1 (see Fig. e).

5 Voltage detection

For localising live wires directly beneath the plaster or behind wooden panels and other non-metallic panelling. It is not possible to detect live wires in dry walls with metal studs.

d i

1. Move the transmitter TX in an area where there is no metal and measure the distance from the transmitter TX to the required drilling point (see Fig. g).
2. Determine the position of the transmitter TX with the receiver RECV on the other side (see Fig. h).
3. Transfer the measured distance (step 1) in the direction of the required drilling point (see Fig. i).

7 Multipoint measurement

0 0 0 1 2 3 4 j

1 2 3 4 k

1. Mark at least two, preferably four, reference points at precisely the same distance from the intended drilling point (see Fig. j).
2. The corrected drilling point is located at the geometric centre point of the reference points (see Fig. k).

Tip: Interference caused by metal can prevent the drilling point being located. In these rare cases, the four square LED indicators will not light up at any point. The tolerance of the receiver RECV can be increased by briefly pressing the ON/OFF button (11). The setting is confirmed by a longer acoustic signal. The device reverts to normal operating mode by pressing the ON/OFF button (11) again or switching off the device.

Operation in increased tolerance mode slightly reduces the accuracy of drilling point positioning.

8 Hoekmetingen

If accurate positioning and alignment are not possible, for example when drilling in corners, the device can be aligned using two identical wedge-shaped supports. The angles of the wedges must match the required drilling angle.

Diagram showing a tool interacting with a brick wall and a device, no text or symbols present

1. Place a wedge under the transmitter TX and under the receiver RECV and make sure that the centre line of both devices points in the direction of the required drilling point (see Fig. I).
2. Drill the hole (see Fig. m).

Different wedge angles can result in misplaced holes. Always use identical wedges.
