a stud.
OPERATING TIPS
The Stud Sensor 100 is designed for use only on interior surfaces.
Prevent Interference
To ensure best performance from the Stud Sensor 100, keep your free
hand at least 6" (15 cm) 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 100 detects the edge of
these double studs and solid headers as a single, wide stud.
Surface Differences
The Stud Sensor 100 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 100 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
Insure proper detection of live wires. Always hold the Stud Sensor 100
in the handle area only. Grasp between fingers and thumb while making
contact with your palm.
