Battery Life and Care
NOTE!
When the battery indicator falls to one bar
may become unreliable.
CAUTION!
• ALWAYS replace the battery when the battery indicator displays one bar or less.
The detector can be used in 3 modes:
1. Wood Detection - - For detection of wooden battens/joists below the surface.
2. Live Wire Detection - - For detection of live/current carrying (220-240V) cables below the surface.
3. Metal Detection - - For detection of metallic objects below the surface.

LED Indications
There are 3 LEDs (5) located at the top of the detector. They are coloured RED, AMBER and GREEN. When using the detector in
any of the 3 modes, the LEDs indicate the presence of the material detected.
GREEN – No material detected
AMBER – Possibility of material detected. Signal may be weak.
RED – Material detected
03
Calibrating the Detector
BEFORE EVERY USE, the detector should be calibrated to ensure maximum accuracy. To do this, switch the detector on and
then press the relevant function button (2, 3 or 4) for the task to be carried out. Hold the detector away from any surfaces, metallic
objects or cables and ensure fingers are not covering the sensor plate on the underside. Press and hold the function button again
until any beeping stops and the GREEN LED is illuminated then release the function button. To ensure confidence in any readings
taken, ALWAYS test the detector on a known area eg. Live wire, wooden joist, metallic object before detecting sub-surface objects.
If readings are unsatisfactory, DO NOT USE THE DETECTOR.
04 Wood Detection
Switch the detector on, select the wood detection mode (
Place the detector on the surface to be scanned and move it slowly in a sideways direction. Keep fingers clear of the sensor to
avoid inaccurate readings.
When a wooden object is detected below the sensor, the detection signal strength bars (F) will illuminate, showing the amplitude of
the received signal. 100% indicates a strong reading. If the object is directly beneath the sensor, the detection proximity sensor (E)
will also be fully illuminated. Repeat the process, moving the detector in the other direction to confirm material position.
