"Detector" measuring tool 0550
INTRODUCTION

● This measuring tool is intended for locating ferrous and

non-ferrous metals, wooden beams and live wires/
conductors in walls, ceilings and floors

● The material and size of the object to be located as well

as the material and condition of the surface to be scanned
may affect the scanning depth of the measuring tool

● Under certain conditions, such as in case of

moisture, metal-containing building materials, or
aluminium-backed insulation materials, the
measuring results can be impaired; using the
measuring tool in the vicinity of appliances which
produce strong (electro)magnetic fields may also
impair the measuring results

● Read and save this instruction manual

USE

● Mounting of battery 2

- open cover G

- insert 9V battery (pay attention to correct polarisation)

- close cover G

- when battery level is low, symbol W lights up;
measuring is still possible for approximately 1 hour

- when symbol W starts flashing, approximately
10 more minutes of measuring are possible

- when symbol W flashes together with red light F,
measuring is no longer possible; replace the battery

- always remove the battery from the tool, if the tool will
not be used for a long period

● On/off

! before switching on the tool, ensure that sensor

area H is dry

- switch on the tool by pressing any button; after a brief
self-check the tool is ready for use indicated by a
check mark behind symbol U

- when switching on with button B or button C, the tool
will automatically be in the wood-detection mode or
metal-detection mode

- when switching on with button A or button D, the tool
will be in the detection mode last used

- switch off the tool by pressing "On/off" button A

- the tool automatically switches off after 5 minutes of
inactivity

- in case of severe temperature changes, allow the tool
to adjust to the ambient temperature for half an hour
before starting new measurements

● Detecting metal objects 3

- press button C and move the tool over the surface to
be scanned

- when the tool comes close to a metal object, red light
F turns on and the amplitude of measuring indicator P
increases; when it moves away from the object, green
light E turns on and the amplitude decreases

- at maximum amplitude the metal object is located
below the centre of sensor area H

- as long as the tool is above the metal object, red light
F remains on and a steady acoustic signal sounds

- for a more precise localisation of the object, press
"Focus" button D and hold it in that position while
repeatedly moving the tool over the object; "Focus"
measuring indicator R has the greatest amplitude
over the centre of the metal object

- mark the location with a pencil through marking
opening I, if needed

- in case of magnetic metal objects (e.g. iron), symbol
S appears in display

- in case of non-magnetic metal objects (e.g. copper),
symbol T appears in display

NOTES:

- in case of weak signals, the differentiation between
magnetic and non-magnetic metal objects cannot be
made

- for detecting very small or deeply embedded metal
objects (which do not activate measuring indicator P)
use "Focus" button D and observe "Focus" measuring
indicator R only

GB

5

- if there are any metallic materials included in the
surface being scanned (e.g. in tiles), measuring
indicator P continuously shows an amplitude; in that
case use "Focus" button D and observe "Focus"
measuring indicator R only

- in case of steel wire mesh and reinforcements in the
surface being scanned, measuring indicator P shows
an amplitude over the complete surface; use "Focus"
button D and observe "Focus" measuring indicator R
only

- typically for steel wire mesh is that symbol S is
displayed directly above the iron bars and symbol T is
displayed in between the iron bars

● Detecting wooden objects 4

- press button B and position the tool on the surface to
be scanned

- press "Focus" button D and hold it in that position
while moving the tool over the surface (ensure that
felt pads J have contact with the surface)

- when a wooden object is detected, red light F turns
on and an amplitude is displayed in measuring
indicator P; move the tool over the surface repeatedly
to localise the wooden object more precisely

- as long as the tool is above the wooden object, red
light F remains on and a steady acoustic signal
sounds

- measuring indicator P has the greatest amplitude
over the centre of the wooden object

- mark the location with a pencil through marking
opening I, if needed

NOTES:

- when a wooden object happens to be located under
the surface on which the tool was positioned at the
start of the search, and when the tool was moved
after that, measuring indicator P, symbol Y and light F
will start flashing; reposition the tool on the surface
and press "Focus" button D again

! "Focus" measuring indicator R cannot be used

when searching wooden objects

- be aware that in the wood-detection mode also metal
objects are found up to approximately 40 mm depth;
switch to metal-detection mode in order to
differentiate (no signal: wooden beam)

● Detecting live wires/conductors 5

! only live wires/conductors with 50 or 60 Hz of

alternating current can be detected (other

wires/conductors are indicated as metal objects)

- live wires/conductors are detected while searching for
metal as well as wooden objects

- when the tool comes close to a live wire/conductor,
red light F starts flashing and the acoustic signal
sounds with a rapid tone sequence

NOTES:

- for easier detection connect power consumers (e.g.
lamps, appliances) to the wire/conductor being
sought and switch them on

- under certain conditions, such as behind metal
surfaces or behind surfaces with high water content,
live wires/conductors cannot be detected with
certainty (these areas are recognised in the metal­detection mode); when all over a rather large area a
measuring value is indicated, the measuring
sensitivity is disturbed and the search for live wires/
conductors is unreliable

- wires that are not “live” can be found as metal objects
with the metal-detection mode; how-ever, stranded
cables are not indicated (contrary to solid copper
conductors)

● Acoustic signal

- the acoustic signal can be switched on and off by
pressing button C and button B simultaneously

- symbol V appears in display when the acoustic signal
is switched off

● Belt bag for easy and convenient storage 6

MAINTENANCE

● When measuring indicator P continuously shows an

amplitude without a metal object being in the vicinity, the
tool can be calibrated manually:

- remove all metal objects in the vicinity of the tool
(including wrist watches or rings of metal)

- hold the tool up in the air

- switch off the tool and press both "on/off" button A
and metal-detection button C until red light F and
green light E light up simultaneously

- release buttons A and C

- after a few seconds the tool returns to the normal
metal-detection mode and is ready for operation
again

● Clean the tool with a dry, soft cloth (do not use cleaning

agents or solvents)

● Do not remove felt pads J and replace them when they

are damaged or used

● When the check mark behind symbol U flashes for

longer periods, or is not displayed at all anymore,
reliable scanning is no longer possible; in this case send
the tool to your dealer or the nearest Skil service-station

● Do not attach stickers (especially metal ones) to the

sensor area on the front or back side of the tool

● Always store the tool indoors in its protective

carton/case

● Always keep the tool free of dust, moisture and direct

sunlight

● Do not disassemble or modify the tool in any way

GUARANTEE / ENVIRONMENT

● This Skil product is guaranteed in accordance with

statutory/country-specific regulations; damage due to
normal wear and tear, overload or improper handling will
be excluded from the guarantee

● In case of a complaint, send the tool undismantled

together with proof of purchase to your dealer or the
nearest Skil service-station (addresses are listed on
www.skileurope.com)

6

● Do not dispose of electric tools, batteries,

accessories and packaging together with household
waste material (only for EU countries)

- in observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on
waste of electric and electronic equipment and its
implementation in accordance with national law,
electric tools that have reached the end of their life
must be collected separately and returned to an
environmentally compatible recycling facility

- symbol 7 will remind you of this when the need for
disposing occurs
