METAL / CURRENT DETECTOR
PMD43 USER’S GUIDE
Thanks for buying our product. Please go through the
instruction manual before using the meter and carefully
follow these safety rules.
1) Locate battery cover and turn it counter-clock wise
using a coin to open.
2) Insert the battery in the sleeve and close (battery
not included).
3) Turn on the device by t ur ning the wheel.
Keep turning the wheel until the indicator light
comes on and the alar m s ounds.
Make sure that no metal or conductive object is
near the unit. Turn the wheel in the reverse
direction until the light and alarm turn off. The
device will then be rea dy to use.
4) If the indicator light does not work, turn the wheel a
half turn and slowly turn the adjustment resistor
using a screwdriver until the alarm comes on or
goes off according to t he desired setting.
5) To detect metal objects, hold the device by the
handle and move the device horizontally against
the wall. The alarm will sound when there is a
metallic object nearby.
6) Electrically cond uctive o bjects w ill be ind icated by a
flashing light that will become continuous when the
device is close to the conductor.

IMPORTANT
This device’s sensitivity can be adjusted to the exact
position of a metallic object or electrical conductor.
First, set the wheel. Once the light goes off, turn the
wheel a little further to nar r ow t he detection zone.
SAFETY
When the device indicates “no current” (no flashing
light), check the device by operating it close to a place
where you know there is a current before touching the
conductor.
CAUTION
Protected conductors will not be detected: only metal
will be detected.
NOTES
1) Certain walls contain metallic fire-resistant fibres.
This can create an electrical field. You can cancel
this effect by putting your hand against the wall.
2) Rubbing or hitting the detector against the wall can
create static electricity leading to a read err or .
CURRENT LOSSES
Due to the low level of current used to trigger lighting,
some detectors can appear to be faulty. A poorly
insulated conductor touching a wet wall will lead to
detection of current on t he wall.
In this case, the device will indicate a potential danger
that should be check ed using a voltmeter.
