fluenced through ambient conditions or the wall 
material, there may be a hazard even though the in-
dicator does not indicate an object in the sensor 
range (illuminated ring  1 lit green).
Operating Modes
The measuring tool detects objects below the sensor 
area 5.
Detecting Metal Objects
After switching on, the illuminated ring  1 lights up green.
Place the measuring tool on the surface 
to be scanned and move it sidewards. 
When the illuminated...

Scanning for “Live” Wires
The measuring tool indicate s “live” wires/conductors 
that carry voltages between  110 V and 400 V, and a fre-
quency corresponding with  the common standard (AC 
with 50 to 60 Hz). Other wires/conductors (carrying 
DC, higher/lower frequency  or voltage) as well as 
“dead” wires/conductors cann ot be found reliably, but 
are possibly indicated as metal objects.
The scan for “live” wires/co nductors takes place auto-...

Working Advice
fMeasuring values can be  impaired through certain 
ambient conditions. These include, e. g., the prox-
imity of other equipment  that produce strong mag-
netic or electromagnetic  fields, moisture, metallic 
building materials, foil-lam inated insulation mate-
rials or conductive wallpaper or tiles.  Therefore, 
please also observe other information sources (e. g. 
construction plans) before drilling, sawing or rout-
ing into walls,...
