IMPORTA T I FORMATIO
The detection result will be affected by the size and material of the detected object, as well as
the material and condition of the detected surface and other factors. If the cable is uncharged the
probe depth will be reduced.
Prior to operating this tool, make sure the area marked “SENSOR” in the bottom of the housing is
dry. If required, wipe dry using a dry and clean cloth.
If the tool has been subjected to an extreme temperature change, allow the sensor to adjust to
the ambient temperature before use.
Environmental influences, such as humidity or closeness to electrical devices (such as a
microwave oven), can influence the measurement accuracy. Surface quality and condition of the
walls (e.g., moisture, metallic building materials, conductive wallpaper, insulation materials and
tiles) as well as the amount, type, size and position of the objects can lead to inaccurate
measurements.
Due to uneven density of tile work on cement board (used in kitchens, bath/wash rooms) wall
sensor may generate false indications.
Do not expose product to rain or wet conditions or long term exposure to the sun.
Do not use in harsh environment. Use only in temperature range -10C° - + 40C°.
To increase battery life, turn off the unit after each use.
FOR THE BEST SCA I G RESULTS
Avoid wearing rings or watches when using the detector. Metal may cause inaccurate testing.
Move the tool evenly over the surface without lifting it or changing the applied pressure.
The detector must always be in contact with the surface during scanning.
When holding the tool make sure your fingers or any other body part do not touch the scanned
surface.
Always scan slowly for maximum accuracy and sensitivity.
OPERATIO
TUR I G THE U IT O A D OFF
Prior to operating this tool, make sure the area
marked “SENSOR” in the bottom of the
housing is dry. If required, wipe dry using a
dry and clean cloth.
Press and the On/Off button to turn on the
unit. Press the On/Off button again to turn the
unit off.

After a short period of automatic testing, the probe is ready to run. The instrument automatically
enters the metal detection function mode. At this time, if there is a signal display in the detection
signal strength display area (18) without metal interference it indicates that calibration is
required.
CALIBRATIO METHOD
Place the instrument in an environment free
from metal and strong magnetic field
interference. We recommend lifting the
instrument into the air by hand and then press
and holding the detect metal or cable button
(shown on the right). Keep the button pressed
until the detection signal strength display area
shows 0% and the green light at the top of the
unit is illuminated. Once the green light is
illuminated the calibration is complete and
you can release the detect metal or cable
button.
DETECTI G METAL OBJECTS
The maximum metal detection depth is
120mm.
Press the metal detect button (7) to enter
metal detection mode. The metal detection
icon will appear on the screen and the green
indicator light will illuminate.
Place the detector on the surface you wish to
scan and move the instrument slowly to the
left or right. As the instrument gets closer to
the metal object, the scale on the detection
signal strength display area (18) will gradually
rise and the intensity percentage will
gradually increase. As the instrument moves
away from the object, the scale drops and the
intensity percentage decreases.

When the instrument detects a metal edge,
the indicator light will change from green to
red and a beep will be heard. The detection
signal strength display area (18) will also be at
100%. Mark this point with a pencil using the
marker point on the top of the wall detector.
Continue moving the instrument in the same
direction until the detection signal strength
display area (18) drops below 100%. Slowly
go back until it reaches 100% again and mark
this second point with a pencil. The midpoint
of these two marks is the central location of
the measured metal object.
The instrument will also detect the centre
point of the metal object and display the
center display icon (17). It is best to use both
methods for a more accurate result.
If the red indicator light on the detector flashes and a beep is heard it has detected both a metal
and AC signal.
When the detector displays a non-magnetic
symbol, it indicates the current object being
measured is generally a wire or copper pipe.
When the detector displays a magnetic symbol, it indicates the current object being measured is
generally steel bar.
When the detector does not display a magnetic or non-magnetic symbol, it indicates the current
object being measured is generally an alloy.
When the alternating current symbol on the detector flashes, it indicates that there is an
alternating current signal nearby.
Note: When detecting metal, the detection depth value will be displayed on the display screen
along with the detection operation. The accuracy of the depth value is related to the shape and
material of the metal being measured, the distribution of the relative detector of the object being
measured, and the surrounding media properties of the object being measured.When the
measured object is standard steel bar or copper tube with a diameter of 18mm, the accuracy of
depth value is high. Otherwise, the depth value can only be used as a rough reference value.
WARNIN ! The detector may not be able to accurately indicate live wires in walls if internal
equipment fails or is not properly operated, so do not rely solely on the instrument to identify the
presence of dangerous live wires. Other evidence, such as construction drawings or visual
identification of wiring or pipe entry points, should be used.

WARNIN ! If the wall contains live wires, do not take potentially dangerous measures. Be sure to
turn off power, gas, and water before drilling holes or nailing into the wall surface.
Concrete, brick, and ceramic surfaces all have shielding effects on the detector and may
generate false indications.
‘Live’ wire signals will spread from both sides of the wire. The ‘Live’ wire alarm area looks much
larger than the actual wire.
AC signals come mainly from live wires but may also come from static or induced electricity in
the environment. Placing your hand on the wall next to the detector may help eliminate static and
inductive electricity.
The signal strength of a ‘Live’ wire depends on the location of the cable.Therefore, take further
measurements nearby or use other information to check for ‘Live’ wires.
Non - ’Live’ wires may be detected as metal objects and thin wires may not be detected.
FOREIG BODY DETECTIO (GE ERALLY REFERRED TO AS WOODE BLOCK)
Exact Mode detection depth: 20mm. Deep Mode detection depth: 38mm
Foreign body detection mode will detect objects in gypsum drywall, plywood sheets, bare wood
floors and coated wood walls.
Foreign body detection mode will not detect concrete, mortar, bricks, carpet, foils, metal surfaces,
tiles, glass or any other dense surface.
Sensitivity depth and accuracy will vary due to moisture content, material content and wall
texture and paint.
The foreign body detection mode detects more than just wooden blocks. It can also detect metals
and other dense materials such as water pipes and plastic pipes near the back of walls or
ceilings. To help identify wooden material, first scan for metal using the metal detecting mode
and mark any location of any detected metal objects. Afterwards scan in foreign body detection
mode and any items not detected in metal detection mode may be wooden blocks.
Press the Foreign Object Detection Button (6)
to enter Exact foreign body detection mode.
The foreign object icon will appear on the
screen and the green indicator light will
illuminate.
Long press the Foreign Object Detection
Button (6) to enter Deep foreign body
detection mode.
