Attention!

Safety instructions for the detector

⚠️ CAUTION! All instructions must be read and followed. If the measuring tool is not used in accordance with these instructions, the integrated protective devices in the measuring tool may be impaired. Keep these instructions in a safe place.

- Only have the device repaired by qualified specialists and only with original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of the device is maintained.

• Avoid violent shocks or drops of the device. Please contact the Service Centre in the event of severe external influences or anomalies in functionality.
• For technological reasons, the device cannot guarantee one hundred percent security. To rule out hazards, make sure you have other sources of information such as construction plans, photos from the construction phase, etc. before drilling, sawing or milling into walls, ceilings or floors. Environmental influences such as humidity or proximity to other electrical devices can affect the accuracy of the device. The nature and condition of the walls (e.g. moisture, building materials containing metal, conductive wallpaper, insulating materials, tiles) as well as the number, type, size and position of the objects can distort the measurement results.
• During the measurement, ensure sufficient earthing. If the earthing is insufficient (e.g. due to insulating footwear or standing on a ladder), it will not be possible to locate live wires.
• If there are gas pipes in the building, check that no gas pipes have been damaged after any work on walls, ceilings or floors.
• Live cables can be found more easily if power consumers (e.g. lights, appliances) are connected to the cable being searched for and switched on. Switch off the power consumers and de-ener-gise the live wires before drilling, sawing or milling in walls, ceilings and floors. After all work, check that objects attached to

the substrate are not under tension.

- When fixing objects to drywall, check that the wall or fixing materials have sufficient load-bearing capacity, especially when fixing to the substructure.

Safety information for batteries

Under normal operating conditions, a hermetically sealed battery does not present any hazards. A battery can present a hazard in the following cases:

⚠️ DANGER! Danger to life due if swallowed! Keep children away from batteries.
⚠️ CAUTION! Risk of explosion and burns! When handling batteries, observe the following:

• Never open or damage batteries.
• Never try to charge disposable batteries.
• Never expose batteries to a source of heat, fire or direct sunlight.
• Never short-circuit batteries.
• Never mix used and new batteries in a device.
• Pay attention to the correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
  • Take leaking batteries out of the battery compartment immediately.

⚠ WARNING! Risk of chemical burns and poisoning from battery acid! If toxic and caustic battery acid leaks:

• After eye contact: Flush the eyes with a large amount of running water for 30 minutes. Call a doctor right away.

• After skin contact: Take off soiled clothing and rinse the skin with a large amount of running water for at least 15 minutes. Call a doctor if irritation, injury or pain persists.

• After breathing it in: Get some fresh air if you notice your respiratory tract is irritated. Call a doctor if irritation persists.

Detecting objects

⚠ WARNING! Risk of injury! Ambient influences and the condition of the wall can affect measurement results. Before you drill, saw or mill into the wall, protect yourself from hazards using other sources of information.

Object mode

Procedure

1. Press the on/off button (5) to switch the device on.

2. Press the button (10). The display (12) shows the indication (25) for Object mode.

3. Hold the device by the handle (8) and place it on the surface to be examined.

If possible, select a location where you know that there is no object you are looking for.

The indication (23) appears on the display (12) and the signal light (13) does not light up. The device adapts to the surface to be analysed.

1. Wait until the signal light (13) lights up green and the indication (23) goes out. The device is now ready for operation.

2. Move the device steadily with light pressure in the direction of B. Ensure that the sliding surfaces (14) are always in contact with the surface being examined.

As the device approaches an object, the deflection of the signal strength indication (19) increases.

If the device moves away from an object, the deflection decreases. The signal light (13) and signal tone indicate whether an object has been detected.

• Signal light lights up green: no object detected
  • Signal light lights up yellow: Approaching an object

• Signal light lights up red: Object detected
  • Signal light flashes red: live wire detected

• Move the device back and forth repeatedly over the object to localise it more precisely. The position indication (22) is activated regardless of the operating mode.

• Determine the centre of the object (Determining the object centre, p. 26).

Notes

- If the display (12) shows a permanent, high deflection of the signal strength indication (19) and/or the position indication (22), restart the measurement process. Place the device on the surface in a different position and the device will recalibrate itself.

You can also start the calibration process manually (Recalibrating the detector, p. 27).

• Nails and screws in the substrate can cause a wooden beam to be shown as a metal object on the display (12).
• Objects with a larger width in the subsurface can be recognised by a permanent and high deflection of the signal strength indication (19) and the position indication (22). The signal light (13) lights up red continuously.

Metal mode Ⓗ

In Metal mode, magnetic and non-magnetic objects can be detected regardless of the wall composition. The indication (27) shows the actual type of object.

Procedure

1. Press the on/off button (5) to switch the device on. The device already starts in Metal mode. The signal light (13) lights up green and signals that the device is ready to measure.

2. Hold the device by the handle (8) and place it on the surface to be examined. If possible, select a location where you know that there is no object you are looking for.

3. Press the button (4) to start the calibration process.

The indication (23) appears on the display (12).

The signal light (13) does not light up during the calibration process.

1. Wait until the signal light (13) lights up green. The calibration process is complete. The device is now ready for operation.

2. Move the device steadily with light pressure in the direction of B. Ensure that the sliding surfaces (14) are always in contact with the surface being examined.

As the device approaches an object, the deflection of the signal strength indication (19) increases. If the device moves away from an object, the deflection decreases.

The signal light (13) and signal tone indicate whether an object has been detected.

- Signal light lights up green: no object detected

• Signal light lights up yellow: Approaching an object
- Signal light lights up red: Object detected
- Signal light flashes red: live wire detected

The indication (21) shows the distance (object depth: ≤ 12 cm) from the sensor area (2) to the object.

1. Move the device back and forth repeatedly over the object to localise it more precisely. The position indication (22) is activated regardless of the operating mode.
2. Determine the centre of the object (Determining the object centre, p. 26).

Notes

• If the display (12) shows a permanent, high deflection of the signal strength indication (19) and/or the position indication (22), recalibrate the device (Recalibrating the detector, p. 27).
• The signal strength of a live line depends on its position. Live cables cannot be reliably detected behind metal surfaces or surfaces with a high moisture content. Use other sources of information to check whether a live wire is present.
• You can find non-live wires as metal objects in Metal mode. Stranded cables are not displayed (unlike solid cables).

Determining the object centre

Requirements

- An object was detected. The signal light (13) lights up red.

Notes

• Always pay attention to all signals from the device (signal light (13),

signal strength indication (19), position indication (22)) when determining the centre of the object.

- The edge detection of objects only works in Object mode.

Procedure

1. Look at the position indication (22). The position indication (22) gives an indication of the centre of the object by means of a deflection. The "Edge" indication also provides an orientation aid in Object mode. This signals that the edge of the object has been recognised.

Operating mode

Operating mode ⓘ

1. Move the device in the direction of the deflection of the position indication (22) to locate the centre of the object.
2. The signal strength indication (19) and position indication (22) show the maximum deflection. The centre cross and the display for the object centre (CENTRE) (26) appear on the display (12).

1. If necessary, mark the object (Marking objects, p. 27).

Marking objects

You can mark detected objects as required. To do this, measure as usual and use the marking aids (1/3) on the device.

Requirements

- Boundaries or centre of an object were detected

Procedure (Fig. D)

1. Mark the location you are looking for on the top (1) and side marking aids (3).
2. Connect the markings with a vertical and a horizontal line. The centre of the object is located at the intersection of the lines.

Recalibrating the detector

If the detector continuously displays a deflection of the signal strength indication (19) and/or the position indication (22) even though there is no object in the vicinity of the device, you can calibrate the device manually.

Procedure

1. Make sure that all objects that could be displayed are removed from the vicinity of the device.
2. Hold the device by the handle (8) and place it on the surface to be examined.
   If possible, select a location where you know that there is no object you are looking for.
3. Press the button (4) to start the calibration process.
   The indication (23) appears on the display (12).
   The signal light (13) does not light up during the calibration process.
4. Wait until the signal light (13) lights up green. The calibration process is complete. The device is now ready for operation.
