Frequently Asked Questions - StarSensor 150 Laserliner

How to install batteries in the StarSensor 150?

Open the battery compartment on the back of the device. Insert 2 AAA (LR03) batteries, observing the indicated polarity. Close the compartment.

How to turn on the detector?

Press and hold the power button (mark 3 on the device) to turn on the StarSensor 150. Release the button to turn it off.

How to detect a wooden or metal beam?

Place the device against the surface and move it slowly. The LEDs light up to indicate the center and edges of hidden objects. Keep your free hand at least 15 cm away from the device to avoid interference.

How to detect live wires?

The voltage indicator activates automatically when the device detects a live line. The lightning symbols light up. Detection works up to 2 cm depth for AC voltage of 110-230 V.

What to do if the device detects nothing?

Check that the batteries are correctly installed and sufficiently charged. Make sure to move the device slowly. For beams, check if other beams are regularly spaced (30, 40 or 60 cm). Some materials like ceramic tiles or metallic wallpaper may prevent detection.

At what depth can I detect beams?

Detection of wooden or metal beams is possible up to 4 cm depth under the surface. For live wires, the maximum depth is 2 cm.

What materials can disrupt detection?

Ceramic floor tiles, carpets with padded backing, wallpapers with metallic fibers or metallic films, and freshly painted and damp walls (allow to dry for at least one week) can prevent correct detection.

Can I use the device near electrical installations?

Yes, but follow safety instructions: cut off power before working near electrical lines. Do not perform measurements alone near dangerous installations. If in doubt, call a qualified electrician.

How to clean the StarSensor 150?

Clean the device with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, solvents or abrasive products. Remove the batteries before prolonged storage and keep the device in a dry, clean place.

Completely read through the operating instructions, the „Warranty and Additional Information“ booklet as well as the latest information under the internet link at the end of these instructions. Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and if the laser device is passed on, this document must be passed on with it.

Function / Application

This electronic locating device finds wall beams and joists as well as live wires. The device analyses the surface at nine points simultaneously and signals the detection of concealed objects via the LED display.

General safety instructions

• The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of the specifications.
• The structure of the device must not be modified in any way.
• Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures, moisture or significant vibration.
• Do not work alone in the vicinity of hazardous electrical installations and only under the guidance of a qualified electrician.

Additional information on use

Observe the technical safety regulations for working on electrical systems, especially: 1. Safely isolating from power supply, 2. Securing to prevent system being switched on again, 3. Checking zero potential, two-pole, 4. Earthing and short-circuiting, 5. Securing and covering adjacent live components.

Safety instructions

Dealing with electromagnetic radiation

• The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limit values in accordance with EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU.
• Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply. Electronic devices can potentially cause hazards or interference or be subject to hazards or interference.

Detecting wooden wall beams and joists as well as metal in drywall structures, e.g. under gypsum fibreboard, wood panels or other non-metallic cladding.

Move the tool slowly across the surface.

Tip 1: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your free hand and other objects at least 15 cm away from the StarSensor 150.

Tip 2: Ensure that you have really detected a stud. To do so, check on both sides whether other studs are present at equal distances, usually at 30, 40 or 60 cm. Also check that it is a stud by scanning at several places directly above and below the position of the first find.

Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not indicate it clearly.

!

If electric wires or metal or plastic pipes are located near or in contact with a plaster fibreboard panel, they may be identified by the StarSensor 150 as studs.

Special things to note with various materials

It may not be possible to detect wooden studs or joists through the following materials:

– Ceramic floor tiles
– Fitted carpeting with padded backing
– Wallpaper with metal fibres or metal foil
- Freshly painted, damp walls. These must have dried for at least one week.

!

Always switch off the power supply when working near electric wires.

Information on maintenance and care

Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents, scouring agents and solvents. Remove the battery(ies) before storing for longer periods. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
