Tip 2: The position where you start is important: First place the device in a position
where you know there is no metal. Otherwise, the message "ERROR" will appear
in the display. To remedy: Move the device to another position a few centimetres
away and start measuring again.
Tip 3: In the case of complicated applications, e.g. ribbed steel, scan the surface both
horizontally and vertically.
Tip 4: Flexible floor and wall heating pipes which contain a metal foil and are located
near the surface may also be detected. Test for this function in places where you
know the position of such pipes.
Tip 5: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your free hand and other objects at
least 15 cm away from the device.
Tip 6: The device only finds the outer edge of metal structures set into the wall for
doors, windows and corners. Afterwards search for the other edge of the metal
structure. Slide the device sideways across the wall. When the maximum indication
appears you have reached the metal structure's edge.
Tip 7: Ensure that you have really detected a metal object. To do so, check on both
sides whether other metal objects are present at equal distances, usually at 30, 40
or 60 cm. Also check that it is a metal object by scanning at several places directly
above and below the position of the first find.
Tip 8: Textured ceilings: The ceiling must be covered with cardboard to protect it.
In this case, perform detection with maximum sensitivity, i.e. calibrate the device
in mid-air.
Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not indicate it clearly.
Measuring in AC-SCAN mode
7
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.
– Select AC-SCAN (button 4).
– As soon as the display switches from CAL to CAL OK, you can move the device.
– MOVE: Move the tool slowly across the surface.

Isolate an object to be
measured by passing
over it several times.
Tip 1: Manual calibration should be performed near the place found last as shown in
Image B/C. Repeat this step as needed.
Tip 2: Because of static charges, electric fields may be detected at the side of the actual
position of the wire. To carry away these charges, lay your free hand on the wall.
Tip 3: Move the tool slowly as friction can generate interfering electric charges.
