AC VOLTAGE DETECTION
Notes
• Some walls containing metal fibres (used in
fireproofing) will cause the detector to register a
voltage over a wider area.
• Rubbing or banging the wall may generate static
electricity, causing a false reading.
• Touching a damp wall being tested may also
cause a false positive reading.
• The unit will not detect wire inside metal shielding
or trunking.

STUD DETECTION
NOTES
• You can use the detector on wallpaper, however it
may not be effective on some types of foil backed
wallpapers.
• If the unit is placed over studding during the
calibration, the unit will not work, simply recalibrate the unit 150 mm away from the last
place.
• The surface of the wall should be dry and flat.
• Always keep your free hand away from the wall
during detection.
• If you release the test button at any time during
detection, you will need to carry out the
calibration procedure again.
• Knots in wood can cause false readings to occur.
• Normally, studding is placed at intervals of 40 - 60
cm.
TIPS
• Re-calibrate the unit frequently to avoid
inaccurate readings.
• Take several readings vertically above, below, to
the left and right to confirm the reading.
