i) Due to the scanning principle employed, the res-

ults of the scan may be negatively affected by certain ambient conditions. These include, e.g. proximity to appliances that generate powerful magnetic or electromagnetic fields, dampness, construction materials containing metal, aluminium foil-backed insulation, multiple layers, materials with cavities or electrically conductive wall coverings or tiles. Accordingly, other sources of information (e.g. plans of the building) should also be consulted before beginning drilling, sawing or grinding in the area scanned.

j) Take the influences of the surrounding area into

account. Do not use the tool where there is a risk of fire or explosion.

k) Make sure that the display area can be easily

read (e.g. do not touch the display area with the fingers, keep the display area clean).

l) Do not use the tool if it is defective. m) Always keep the detection area clean. n) Always check how the tool is set before using it. o) Operation of the tool in the proximity of military

installations, airports or astronomical facilities is not permissible unless prior permission has been obtained.

4.2 Proper organization of the workplace

a) Avoid unfavorable body positions when working

from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all times.

b) When the tool is brought into a warm environment

from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it to become acclimatized before use.

c) Only use the tool within the defined limits. d) Observe the accident prevention regulations ap-

plicable in your country.

4.4 General safety instructions

a) Check the condition of the tool before use. If the

tool is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti Service Center.

b) Keep the tool clean and dry at all times. c) Do not apply stickers or adhesive plates at the

sensor area on the underside of the tool. Metal plates, in particular, will affect scanning results.

d) Take care to ensure that the service cover on the

tool is always securely closed. The service cover may be opened only at a Hilti Service Center.

e) You must check the accuracy of the tool after it

has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stresses.

f) Although the tool is designed for the tough con-

ditions of jobsite use, as with other measuring instruments it should be treated with care.

g) Although the tool is protected against the entry of

moisture,itshouldbewipeddrybeforebeingput away in its transport container.

h) Check the accuracy of the tool before using it for

detection or measurement.

4.5 Electrical safety

a) Keep the batteries out of reach of children. b) Remove the batteries from the tool if it is toremain un-

used for some time. The batteries will self-discharge and may begin to corrode if stored for a long period.

Page 10

c) Always replace all batteries at the same time. Use

only batteries of the same capacity and from the same manufacturer.

d) Do not allow the batteries to overheat and do not

expose them to fire. The batteries may explode or

release toxic substances. e) Do not charge the batteries. f) Do not solder the batteries into the tool.

6Operation

6.1 Using the tool 4

The tool scans in direction “A” to the depth indicated in the display. Scanning takes place only while the tool is being moved in direction “B” and so long as the tool is moved a distance of at least 10 cm (3.9 in). Always move the tool in a straight line over the area to

be scanned, applying light and even pressure so that the wheels remain securely in contact with the surface. Objects that differ from the material being scanned will be detected. The display shows the position of the object, its approximate depth and, when possible, the object category. Optimum results will be achieved when the scan has a length of at least 40 cm (15.7 in) and the tool is moved slowly over the surface to be scanned. Due to the operating principle employed, the upper edges of objects that lie transversely to the scanning direction will be reliably detected.

Page 12

Accordingly, always scan the area crosswise (i.e. in two scans perpendicular to each other) in order to avoid errors due to scanning along the length of an object.

NOTE

When several objects are positioned one above the other in the material being scanned, the object closest to the surface will be shown in the display. The image of the object shown in the display may differ from the actual characteristics of the object concerned. In particular, very thin objects will be shown thicker than they actually are. Large, cylindrical objects (e.g. plastic objects or water pipes) shown in the display may appear narrower than they actually are.

6.2 Scanning

1. Switch the tool on. The display shows the standard screen. Select the scanning mode that suits the material to be scanned.

2. Place the tool on the surface to be scanned and move it in the required direction (see section 6.1 “Using the tool”). The result of the scan will be shown in the display after the tool has been moved a distance of at least 10 cm (3.9 in).

3. In order to obtain correct results, move the tool slowlyovertheareatobescanned. NOTE If the tool is lifted away from the surface while making the scan, the most recent reading is shown in the display. The word “Hold” appears in the sensor area of the display. The scan restarts when the tool is brought back into contact with surface and moved again or the “Measure” button is pressed. NOTE The approximate depth and the object material category shown in the display refer to the object shown in black in the sensor area of the screen. The status LED lights red when an object is within the sensor area and lights green when no object is detected. When the status LED blinks red, a live cable is very probably within the sensor area. If an object is present below the sensor it is shown inthesensorareaofthedisplay.Dependingon the size and depth of the object detected, the object category may also be shown. The approximate depth to the upper edge of the object detected is shown in the status line or can be read from the scaleatthesideofthedisplay.

6.2.1 Locating objects

3.5 cm

1. A single scan of the area is sufficient for initial location of an object.

2. If no object is found, repeat the scan at right angles to the direction of the original scan (see section. 6.1 “Using the tool”).

3. If you wish to locate an object exactly and mark its position, simply move the tool in the reverse direction back across the area already scanned.

4. If an object appearsin the displayimmediately below the centerline, as shown in illustration A, the position of the object can be marked on the surface at the upper marking notch. NOTE However, this mark will be accurate only when the object runs exactly perpendicular to the direction of scan as the sensor area lies slightly below the marking notch.

Page 13

5. To mark the position more exactly, move the tool to the left or right until the object detected is shown at the edge of the display.

6. Mark the position of the detected object by making a mark beside the right or left marking notch (see illustration B). NOTE The object detected lies at the point of intersection of the upper and side marking notches.

6.3 Examples of scan results

NOTE

Best scanning results will be obtained when the tool is moved at right angles to the longitudinal rebars, as described above. Mark the positions of the rebars found and then shift the tool to the adjoining are above or below and repeat the scan in order to verify the position of the rebars and the direction in which they run. To locate the transverse rebars, pivot the tool through 90° and scan between the already detected longitudinal rebars in order to avoid scanning along a longitudinal rebar.

6.3.2 Copper pipes

A non-ferrous metal object, e.g. a copper pipe, is within the sensor area. It lies at a depth of approx. 4 cm (1.6 in). The tool emits a signal tone.

6.3.6 Unclear signals

If a large number of objects are indicated in the standard display area, there can be two reasons for this.

1. The wall probably contains a large number of cavities

(hollow brick).

7 Care and maintenance

7.1 Cleaning and drying

1. Use onlya clean,soft clothfor cleaning.If necessary, moisten the cloth slightly with pure alcohol or a little water. NOTE Do not use any other liquids as these may damage the plastic components.

2. The temperaturelimits forstorage of your equipment must be observed, especially in winter / summer.

7.2 Storage

Put the tool into storage only when dry. Please observe the applicable temperature limits when storing the tool. Check the accuracy of the equipment before it is used after a long period of storage. Remove the batteries from the tool before storing it for a long period. Leaking batteries may damage the tool.

7.3 Transport

Use the Hilti toolbox or equivalent packagingwhen transporting the tool.

Switch to “Hollow brick” mode. Most of the cavities will then no longer be shown in the display. If too many objects are still shown, several scans must be made at different heights and the position of the objects detected marked on the wall. Offset marks tend to indicate cavities while marks in a line tend to indicate an object.

2. The scan has been made longitudinally, i.e. along the length of an object. In this case, move the tool up or down and repeat the scan (see fig. 6 on the cover pages).

CAUTION Always remove the batteries before shipping the tool.

7.4 Hilti Calibration Service

We recommend that the tool is checked by the Hilti Calibration Service at regular intervals in order to verify its reliability in accordance with standards and legal requirements. Use can be made of the Hilti Calibration Service at any time, but checking at least once a year is recommended. The Calibration Service provides confirmation that the tool is in conformance, on the day it is tested, with the specifications given in the operating instructions. After checking, acalibration sticker applied tothe tool and a calibration certificateprovide writtenverification that the tool is operating in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification. Calibration certificates are always required by companies certified according to ISO 900x. Your local Hilti Center or representative will be pleased to provide further information.
