Warning signs

Symbols

1 These numbers refer to the corresponding illustratio ns. The illustrations can be found in the fold-out cover pages.
Keep these pages open when studying the operating instructions . In these operating instructions, the PX 10
Transpointer is referred in it’s two components. The PX 10T as the “transmitter”. The PX 10R as the “receiver”. Or in
general as the “tools”.

1.3 Location of the identification data on the tools

The type designation and serial number can be found on the ty pe designation plate on the tool. Make a note of this
data in your operating instructions and always refer to it when making an enquiry to your Hilti representative or service
department.

2. Description

The PX 10 is a system built up of a transmi tter and a receiver. The receiver is used to find the di r e ction the transmitter
is pointing, and for finding the distance between the two devices.

2.1 Intended use

The Transpointer is used to align the receiver position to the preset transmitter position. The system is capable of this
function through walls and ceilings, as well as determining the distance between the devices.
The operator can transfer points from one side of a wall to another, and determine at the same time the wall thickness.
This helps:

- to check where a marked entry point for a through hole will exit.

- to determine what length drill bit or core is needed

- to transfer positions

The Transpointer may also be used in conjunction with the slope adapter to:

- To find a exit point from a given reference point and angle

- Find the angle between two points

2.3 Measuring principle

The transmitter generates a magnetic field. This field can penetrate bricks, wood, concrete, and concrete with metal
reinforcement. The field is however affected by metal. Whilst normal reinforcement in concrete is not a problem,
welded reinforcement, reinforcement mesh, flat metal sheet or massi ve me tal beams can have a considerably
negative effect on the system performance .
The receiver is calibrated to find the center point of the projec ted field and to determine the distance by the
measurement of the strength of the magnetic field between the two tools.
The slope adapter has been developed in conjunction with the Transpointer, so that the magnetic fields can also be
measured when the devices are inclined to each other.
