StudSensor 2
Installing the Battery
1. Slide open battery door on back of case.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to battery clip.
3. Insert battery into case and replace battery door.
Battery will last approximately two years under normal
conditions.
Scanning for Studs
1. Place the StudSensor™ unit against the wall. Hold as
shown. (Figure 2).
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch. Slide the tool
slowly across the wall.
3. LED lower lights (or bottom light on the StudSensor™
2 unit) indicate increasing density. Top LED indicates
stud edge. Mark this spot.
Note: Top LED may not always light when scanning
through some dense surfaces. In that case, a lower LED indicates max density and therefore stud
edge. (StudSensor™ 3 model only)
4. Continue moving across the stud until the top LED turns off, and then, still holding the switch in,
reverse direction and locate the other edge of the stud. Mark this spot.
5. The midpoint between the two marks is the center of the stud.
Flashing lights! Error indicator
The StudSensor™ tool finds dense objects beneath the wall surface. The position where you start
is important.
To work right, the tool must start (by holding the button) over a part of the wall that is not dense.
Otherwise, an error is indicated.
If top and bottom LEDs start blinking and beeping, move over a few inches and start again.
