FAQs

What is the maximum detection depth?

The maximum detection depths vary based on the mode and material. Refer to the specifications for details: Wood stud of 30x30mm: ≤14mm. Iron pipe of dia. 25mm: ≤25mm. AC mode: Typical depth of 50mm for 90-250V at 50-60Hz.

How do I change the battery?

Open the battery compartment on the back of the device and replace the 9V battery.

Can I use this on concrete walls?

The detector may not perform as effectively on dense concrete. Detection capabilities are better on drywall, plaster, and wood.

What does the marking groove do?

The marking groove allows you to mark the surface accurately once the stud, metal, or wire has been located, prior to drilling or fixing.

What does the AC mode detect?

The AC mode detects live electrical wires carrying AC voltage.

What should I do if the detector gives a false reading?

Try recalibrating the device. Ensure there are no sources of interference, such as other electrical devices or metal objects, nearby.

Is the detector waterproof?

No, the detector is not waterproof. Keep it away from moisture.

Troubleshooting

Detector does not turn on.

Check the battery and replace it if necessary. Ensure the battery is correctly installed.

Inaccurate readings or false positives.

Ensure the detector is calibrated correctly according to the manual. Avoid using near sources of electrical interference or high metal concentrations.

Limited detection depth.

Detection depth depends on the material type and density. Adjust the mode and try multiple scans.
