User Manual
Warning: This tool is not a measuring device and should not be used as a substitute for a voltmeter.
Warning: The LED or Live Wire Detection symbol on the display is just an indicator and in some situations
the voltage detection option may not accurately indicate the presence of voltage in the event of internal device
failure or improper operation, and therefore should not be relied upon for identification of the presence of
hazardous voltages. Other evidence such as construction blueprints or visual identification of wiring or conduit
entry points should also be utilized.
Always turn off AC power when working near wiring.
Always follow proper safety practices and use a separate detection method to verify a de-energized condition
prior to commencing work.
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.
METAL SCAN / AC TRACKING Mode 11
METAL SCAN Mode
Depress the AC / METAL button once (1x). The "METAL SCAN" icon will be illuminated on the LCD.
AC TRACKING Mode
"Double click" (depress two times - 2x) the AC / METAL button. The "AC TRACKING" icon will be illuminated
on the LCD.
With the "METAL SCAN" or "AC SCAN" icon illuminated, hold the Stud Sensor 300 flat against the surface,
making firm contact.
12 Press in and hold the activation button. A series of tones will sound.
When the unit is calibrated the "Ready" icon will appear on the LCD.
Keep holding the activation button during all of the following procedures.
13
Slide the Stud Sensor 300 slowly across the surface. As it detects metal (METAL SCAN mode) or a live AC
wire (AC TRACKING mode), the unit will display the relative intensity of the position of the metallic object /
live wire on the screen as shown below.
Cautions on Operating
You should always use caution when nailing, cutting and drilling in walls, ceilings and floor that may contain
wiring and pipes near the surface. Always remember that studs or joists are normally spaced 41cm or 61cm
apart and are 38mm 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 300 is designed for use only on interior surfaces.
Prevent Interference
To ensure best performance from the Stud Sensor 300, keep your free hand at least 6 inches away from the unit
and wall surface while testing or scanning surfaces.
Conventional Construction
Doors and windows are commonly constructed with additional studs and headers for added stability. The Stud
Sensor 300 detects the edge of these double studs and solid headers as a single, wide stud.
4
Surface Differences
The Stud Sensor 300 will scan through common building materials, Including:
• Gypsum drywall
• Plywood sheathing
• Hardwood floors
• Linoleum over wood
• Wallpaper
The sensor 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 300 on surfaces covered with wallpaper or fabric
unless the coverings used contain metallic foil or fibers.
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

Ensure proper detection of live wires. Always hold the Stud Sensor 300 in the handle area only. Grasp between
fingers and thumb while making contact with your palm.
