In this mode detect live, unshielded AC wires, electrical wires up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep.
For Safety, in all modes, this wall scanner always detect and indicate the Live AC Wire.
Note: Wire Warning Detection works in both StudScan / DeepScan / MetalScan Modes. The Wire Warning Detection Icon will flash when live, unshielded wires are detected.
Use this mode to locate and avoid hazards such as pipes behind walls. Metal Scan mode detects non-ferrous metal such as copper pipe up to 1½ inches (38 mm) deep, and ferrous metal such as rebar, up to 2.36 inches (60 mm) deep. You can differentiate between metal and wood studs through this mode.
First, find the stud in Stud Scan mode. Then, switch to Metal Scan mode, the tool alerts in a pattern as it detects the mental drywall screws in the wood for wooden studs.
We suggest you to use Stud Mode first to find the edges of wood and metal studs up to 3/4 inches (19mm) deep. If Stud Scan mode shows irregular readings or the Signal Strength indicator is weak, the studs might be behind more than ¾ inches (19 mm) of drywall.then switch to Deep Scan mode. This doubles the scanning depth to 1½ inches (38 mm) deep and allows for increased accuracy on deeper targets.
The stud finder can be calibrated anywhere on the wall. It automatically recalibrates, when needed, to successfully find the center of studs in one step. Place the unit flat on the wall, press and hold the scan button to start calibration, the decreasing bars will disappear and buzzer will beep one time and the calibration is completed
Slowly slide tool across the wall. A bottom pointed arrow and EDGE indication will illuminate, indicating location of the stud edge.
Continue sliding the tool. When the center of a stud is located, the full bars on the Signal Strength Indicator, the pointed arrow on the top of the bars, the CENTER indication will all show and the buzzer will sound.
