MULTI-FUNCTION DETECTOR
PMDL 5 A1
Intended use
The Multi-Measurement Detector is designed for the locating of electrical cables,
of wood and metal objects, for the projecting of laser lines, for the measuring of
areas and volumes as well as for the measuring of distances. The appliance is
intended for domestic use only. Do not use it for commercial purposes. A different
or any other usage is regarded as unintended use and can lead to damages and
injuries. No liabity will be accepted for damage caused by manipulation of the
laser equipment, as well as of the ultrasound transmitter/receiver, or through
disregard of these safety instructions.
Safety instructions
Optimal and safe working with the multi-detector is only possible if you read these
operating and safety instructions completely and strictly follow their instructions.
Risk of injury!
• Do not use the appliance at locations where there is a risk of fire or
explosion, e.g. close to inflammable liquids or gases.
• This appliance may be used by children aged 8 over and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, provided that they are under supervision or have been told how
to use of the appliance safely and are aware of the potential risks. Children
must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance tasks must
not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.
• Exercise caution with the holding pins. They are sharp and can cause injuries.
Caution regarding damage to the appliance!
• Do not expose the appliance to rainfall. Do not use the appliance in moist
or wet environments.
• Do not place objects containing liquids, e. g. flower vases, on the appliance.
• Do not place any open sources of fire, like candles, on the device.

This appliance contains a Class 2 laser. NEVER direct the laser beam at people
or animals. NEVER look directly into the laser. The laser can cause serious eye
damage.
• Do NOT direct the laser beam at strongly reflective material.
Reflected laser beams are also dangerous.
• Do NOT use the appliance to determine the alternating voltage level in
exposed or non-insulated power cables.
• Do NOT use the appliance as a substitute for a voltmeter.
Notes regarding inaccurate measurement results
The appliance does not always recognise all pipes and power cables.
The following conditions can contribute to inaccurate results:
– very thick walls
– weak battery
– deeply laid power cables or pipework
– shielded cables
– thick walls with thin pipes or power cables
– walls panelled with metal sheets
– very moist conditions
• This appliance is not suitable for detecting power cables in circuits,
– which are isolated from the mains power supply.
– through which direct current flows.
– which are used for computer or telecommunications systems.
• With this appliance pipework made of plastic or similar materials
cannot be detected, only pipework made of metal.
Interaction with batteries:
• Leaking batteries can cause damage to the appliance. If you do not intend
to use the appliance for an extended period, remove the batteries.
• Should the batteries leak, wear protective gloves and clean the battery
compartment with a dry cloth.
• Keep batteries away from children. Children can put batteries into their
mouths and swallow them. Should a battery ever be swallowed, seek
medical attention IMMEDIATELY.

Inserting the battery
1. Open the battery compartment ton the rear side of the Multi-Measurement
Detector.
2. Place the 9 V block battery onto the contacts. Pay heed to the correct polarity.
3. Lay the tape for removal of the battery underneath the 9 V block battery and
press it into the battery compartment

Important!
Ensure that the wires are not trapped in any way.
This would lead to irreparable damage to the appliance.
4. Close the battery compartment t. The battery compartment lid must close
with an audible click.
Measuring distances
1. Slide the function switch qto „DISTANCE“. The display 2switches itself on.
To switch between the metric and the Anglo-American units of measurement,
press and hold the button MODE 4. Then press the button READ 6and release
both buttons simultaneously. When you release the buttons, the measurement
units change.
Note:
Measurements start at the measurement point 1!
Should the measurement lie outside the measurement range, „Err“ or an illogical
number appear in the display. The measurement range lies between 0,6 m (2’)
and 16 m (53’).
2. Hold the appliance upright towards the wall to which you wish to measure
the distance. The ultrasound sender/receiver

The further you are from the wall, the wider is the area (a) that the MultiMeasurement Detector must measure by ultrasound (Fig. 2). Therefore take care
that the Manifold Measurer is always directed at a right angle towards a level

Locating concealed objects
Notice:
• Before using the appliance for this task, first test it by locating a pipeline
or electrical power cable at a known position.
• In cases of doubt, always ask a qualified building contractor.
Attention!
Should the appliance find a live wire carrying alternating current,
appears in the display. Under no circumstances should you drill at this
location! Danger of electric shock!
- 8 -
The locating of concealed objects is the same in all three modes (STUD = wood,
AC WIRE = live electric power cables, METAL = metal).
1. Slide the function switch
2. Slide the material switch
q
to „DETECTOR“.
3
to STUD, AC WIRE or METAL.
3. First of all, the appliance must be calibrated. Place it flat against the wall
where you wish to search for concealed objects.
4. Press and hold the button PUSH
z
until the signal tone hums.
The appliance has now adjusted itself to the wall thickness.
Continue to keep the button PUSH
z
pressed down.
5. Move slowly along the wall with the appliance. As the arrows in the
display move closer to the centre of the display, you are getting closer
to the concealed object. When the arrows touch and a constant signal
tone is heard, mark this position (see Fig. 4).
Fig. 4
6. Now repeat the procedure, but this time approach the object from the other
side. As soon as the signal tone sounds, mark this position (see Fig. 4).
The concealed object runs between these two positions.
