1. In most situations the two bottom signal LEDs turn on first when the detector approaches the target object 4 Power LED It lights as a power indicator when the TEST button is pressed 5 TEST button Use to turn the detector on You must depress and hold this switch down to calibrate the detector or when you wish to perform detection operation 6 Selector switch A three position switch used to select the required scan mode Available scanning modes are STUD Stud scan mode METAL Metal scan mode AC WIRE AC voltage scan mode 7 MARK button In some conditions it is not suitable to make marks with pencil You can press this button to mark dots on the wall surface OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Stud Detection Procedure 1 Set the selector switch to STUD position 2 Calibration Place the unit against wall Depress and hold the TEST button down the detector will begin calibration When it sounds two beeps the calibration is complete Always keep the TEST button depressed throughout all the following procedures 3 Detection a Place the detector on the surface and slowly move the unit sideways fig 1 When the detector moves closer and closer to the stud the signal LEDs will light sequentially from bottom to the top When the top signal LED lights and the built in buzzer sounds continuously the unit has detected the stud s edge Stop moving and mark a spot in the detectors groove on the2. walls surface fig 2 b Continue moving sideways across wall until all the signal LEDs and the buzzer turn off then reverse direction and locate opposing edge by using the same procedure When the LED lights and buzzer sounds continuously stop moving and mark a spot in the detectors groove on the walls surface fig 3 the midpoint between two marks is the centre of the stud Note 1 Stud detection can be carried out on standard plasterboard walls However it may not function on some types of foil backed or metallic fabric surfaces 2 If the detector is placed over a wall batten or stud when performing a calibration the detector will not work correctly 3 The surface of wall along which you want to detect should be flat and dry 4 We recommend that you also carry out a metal detection scan to ensure that the detected batten or stud is not a metal pipe Please note that some small securing screws or nails or metal objects may be detected 5 Keep your other hand away from the detector when carrying out a scan 6 Wall studs will be approximately 40cm to 60cm apart with a width of about 3 8cm 7 If two studs are adjacent the unit may not detect them accurately 8 After you release the TEST button the detector must perform a calibration sequence again before use 9 Do not move the detector too quickly as the RED signal LEDs will not light sequentially 6 Metal Detection Procedure 3 a Place the detector on the sur
