Operating Tips; Important Safety Notice - Stanley S200 Manual De Instrucciones

Detecting Live AC Wires
9 The live wire red LED will illuminate, the "AC"
icon will appear on the LCD, and the Stud Sensor
200 sounds an audible tone, warning when in the
proximity (typically within 4" to 18" along the
surface) from a live wire.
Note: Static electrical charges that can develop on drywall and
other surfaces will spread the voltage detection area many inches
on each side of the actual electrical wire. To aid in locating the
wire position, scan holding the unit ½" away from the wall surface
or place your other hand on the surface approximately 12" from
sensor.
Warning: Shielded wires or wires in metal conduits, casings,
metallized walls or thick, dense walls will not be detected. Always
turn off AC power when working near wiring.
Cautions on Operating
You should always use caution when nailing, cutting and
drilling in walls, ceilings and fl oor that may contain wiring
and pipes near the surface. Always remember that studs or
joists are normally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are
1½ inches in width. To avoid surprises, be aware that anything closer
together or of a different width may not be a stud.

OPERATING TIPS

The Stud Sensor 200 is designed for use only on interior surfaces.
Prevent Interference
To ensure best performance from the Stud Sensor 200, keep your
free hand at least 6 inches away from the unit and wall surface
while testing or scanning surfaces.

Conventional Construction
9
Doors and windows are commonly constructed with additional studs
and headers for added stability. The Stud Sensor 200 detects the
edge of these double studs and solid headers as a single, wide stud.
Surface Differences
The Stud Sensor 200 will scan through common building materials,
Including:
• Gypsum drywall
• Plywood sheathing
• Hardwood fl oors
• Linoleum over wood
• Wallpaper
The scanner cannot scan through:
• Carpeting
• Foil faced materials
• Ceramic tile
• Cement or concrete
• Metal & plaster walls
Wallpaper
There will be no difference in the function of the Stud Sensor 200
on surfaces covered with wallpaper or fabric unless the coverings
used contain metallic foil or fi bers.
Ceilings
When dealing with a rough surface such as a sprayed ceiling,
utilize a piece of cardboard when scanning the surface. Run
through the calibration technique described earlier with the piece
of cardboard too, to assure best performance of the unit. Also, it is
particularly important in this application to remember to keep your
free hand away from the unit.
Note: The thickness, density and moisture content of the surface
material will affect the sensing depth.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Insure proper detection of live wires. Always hold the Stud Sensor
200 in the handle area only. Grasp between fi ngers and thumb while
making contact with your palm.
