Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Battery
To open the battery lid 4, press the latch 5in the direction of
the arrow and remove the battery lid. Insert the batteries/
rechargeable batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the
correct polarity according to the representation on the inside
of the battery compartment.
The battery indicator bin the upper status line on the display
16 indicates the charge condition of the batteries/rechargea-
ble batteries.
Note: Pay attention to the changing battery symbol so that
the batteries/rechargeable batteries are replaced in time.
When the “Please change
batteries” warning indication
is indicated on the display 16,
the settings are saved and the
measuring tool switches off
automatically. Measurements
are no longer possible.
Change the batteries/
rechargeable batteries.
To remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries, press on the
rear end of a battery as indicated in the figure on the battery
lid ( ). The front end of the battery/rechargeable battery is
released from the battery compartment ( ), so that the bat-
tery/rechargeable battery can easily be removed.
Always replace all batteries/rechargeable batteries at the
same time. Do not use different brands or types of batteries/
rechargeable batteries together.
fRemove the batteries/rechargeable batteries from the
measuring tool when not using it for longer periods.
When storing for longer periods, the batteries/rechargea-
ble batteries can corrode and discharge themselves.
Operation
fProtect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
fDo not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. In case of large var-
iations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to ad-
just to the ambient temperature before switching it on.
In case of extreme temperatures or variations in tempera-
ture, the accuracy of the measuring tool and the display in-
dication can be impaired.
fDo not attach any stickers or name-platestothesensor
area 9 on the back of the measuring tool. Especially
metal name-plates affect the measuring results.
fUse or operation of transmitting systems, such as
WLAN,UMTS, radar, transmitter masts ormicrowaves,
in the close proximity can influence the measuring
function.
Method of Operation (see figure B)
The measuring tool checks the
base material of sensor area 9
in measurement direction Ato
the displayed measuring
depth. Measurement is possi-
ble only during movement of
the measuring tool in the direc-
tion of travel Band for a meas-
uring distance of at least
10 cm. Move the measuring
tool in a straight line with
light pressure over the wall
so that the wheels remain in
firm contact with the wall.
Objects are detected that
differfrom the material of the wall. The object depth and, if
possible, the object material, are indicated on the display.
Optimum results are achieved when the measured distance is
at least 40 cm and the measuring tool is moved slowly over
the entire location to be checked. The tool’s method of opera-
tion ensures reliable detection of outer object edges that run
transverse to the measuring tool’s movement direction.
Therefore, always move crossways over the area to be
checked.
If several objects are located one over the other in the wall,
the object that is indicated in the display is the one nearest to
the surface.
The representation of the properties of detected objects in
the display 16 can deviate from the actual object properties.
This applies particularly for very thin objects, which are repre-
sented thicker in the display. Large cylindrical objects (e.g.
plastic or water pipes) can appear in the display smaller than
they actually are.
Detectable Objects
– Plastic pipes (e.g. water-carrying plastic pipes, as used in
floor/wall-heating systems, with at least 10 mm in diame-
ter; empty pipes with at least 20 mm in diameter)
– Electrical wiring (independent of whether carrying voltage
or not)
– Three-phase mains wiring (e.g. to the stove)
– Low-voltage wiring (e.g. for door bell, telephone
– Metal pipes, bars, beams of any type (e.g. steel, copper,
aluminium)
– Reinforcing steel
– Wooden beams
– Hollow spaces

Measurements possible
– In concrete/reinforced concrete
– In brickwork (bricks, porous concrete, foam concrete, aer-
ated concrete, lime-sand brick)
– In light construction walls
– Under surfaces such as stucco, tiles, wallpaper, parquet
flooring, carpet
– Behind wood, gypsum board
Special Measuring Cases
Based on the measuring priniciple, unfavourable conditions
can influence the measuring result, for example:
– Multi-layered walls
– Empty plastic pipes and wood beams in hollow spaces and
light construction walls
– Objects running inclined in walls
– Moist walls
– Metal surfaces
– Hollow spaces in a wall; these can be indicated as objects.
– Closeness to equipment that generates strong magnetic or
electromagnetic fields, e.g. radio base stations or genera-
tors.
Initial Operation
fProtect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
Switching On and Off
fBeforeswitchingthe measuringtoolon, makesure that
the sensor area 9 is not moist. If required, dry the meas-
uring tool using a soft cloth.
fIf the measuring tool was subject to an extreme tem-
perature change, allow it to adjust to the ambient tem-
perature before switching on.
Switching On
–Toswitch on the measuring tool, press the On/Off button
15 or the start button 11.
–LED17lights up green and the start display is indicated for
4sondisplay16.
– When no measurement is carried out and no button is
pressed for 5 minutes, the measuring tool switches off au-
tomatically. In the “Settings” menu, you can change the
“Cut-off time” (see “Cut-off Time”, page 19).
Switching Off
–Toswitch the measuring tool off, press the On/Off button
15.
– When switching off the measuring tool, all settings are re-
tained in the menus.
Switching the Audio Signal On/Off
The audio signal can be switched on/off with the audio signal
button 13. In the “Settings” menu, you can select the type of
signals in the “Tone signal” submenu (see “Tone Signals”,
page 19).
Measuring Procedure
Switch the measuring tool on. The “standard start indication”
appears on the display 16.
Position the measuring tool against the wall and move it over
the wall in the direction of travel (see “Method of Operation”,
page 16). Measured results are indicated on display 16 after
a minimum measuring distance of 10 cm. To ensure correct
measurement results, move the measuring tool slowly and
completely over the assumed object in the wall.
If the measuring tool is lifted away from the wall during a
measurement or not operated (moving the device or pressing
a button) for more than 2 minutes, the last measured result
remains on the display. “Hold” appears on the sensor-range
indicator c. When the measuring tool is placedagainst the wall
again, moved, or when the start button 11 is pressed, the
measurement starts anew.
When LED 17 lights up red, an object is in the sensor range.
When LED 17 lights up green, no object is in the sensor range.
When LED 17 flashes, a “live” object is in the sensor range.
Display Elements (see figure A)
If an object is under the sensor, it will appear in the sensor
range cof the display. Depending on size and depth of the ob-
ject, identification of the material is possible. The object
depth lto the upper edge of the found object is indicated in
the status line.
Note: Both the indication of the object depth las well as the
material property mrefer to the object pictured black in the
sensor.
The indication of the object material mcan represent the fol-
lowing characteristics:
– Magnetic, e.g. reinforcing steel
– Non-magnetic, but metal, e.g. copper pipe
– Non-metal, e.g. wood or plastic
– Material property unknown
The indication of “live” wires ncan represent the following
characteristics:
– “Live”
Note: For “live” objects, no further characteristic is dis-
played.
– Not definite whether “live” or voltage-free
Note: Three-phase mains wiring are possibly not detected as
“live” conductors.

Localisation of Objects
To localise objects, moving over the measuring path once is
sufficient.
When no object has been found, repeat the motion perpen-
dicular to the initial measuring direction (see “Method of
Operation”, page 16).
For precise localisation and marking of an object, move the
measuring tool back over the measuring path.
When an object is indicated centrally below the centre line k
in display 16, as in the example, you can mark it coarsely with
the top marking aid 1. This mark, however, will only be pre-
cise, when the object is positioned exactly vertical in the wall,
as the sensor range is located somewhat below the top mark-
ing aid.
Forexact marking of theobject on the wall,move the measuring
tool left or right until the found objectispositioned below oneof
the outer edges. When the found object, as an example, is indi-
cated centrical below the dashed right-hand line gin display
16, you can mark it precisely with the right marking aid 3.
The direction of a found object in a wall can be determined by
carrying out several offset measurements one after another
(see figure I and “Examples for Measuring Results”, page 20).
Mark and connect the respective measuring points.
Bypressing the start button 11, the display of the objectsfound
can be deleted at any time and a new measurement started.
fBefore drilling, sawing or routing into a wall, protect
yourself against hazards by using other information
sources. As the measuring results can be influenced
through ambient conditions or the wall material, there may
be a hazard even though the indicator does not indicate an
object in the sensor range (no audio signal or beep and and
the LED 17 lit green).
Changing the Operating Modes
Changing between different operating modes is possible with
selection buttons 10 and 12.
– Briefly press selection button 10 to select the next operat-
ing mode.
– Briefly press selection button 12 to select the previous op-
erating mode.
By selecting the operating modes, you can adapt the measur-
ing tool to different wall materials. The current setting is al-
ways shown in the operating-mode indication hof the display.
Concrete Universal (preset)
The operating mode “Concrete Universal” is suitable for
most applications in brickwork or concrete. Plastic and metal
objects as well as electrical wiring are displayed. Hollow spac-
es in brickwork or empty plastic pipes with a diameter of less
than 2 cm are possibly not displayed. The maximum measur-
ing depth is 8 cm.
Concrete Wet
The operating mode “Concrete Wet” is particularly suitable
for applications in wet concrete. Reinforcing steel, plastic and
metal pipes, as well as electrical wiring are displayed. Differ-
entiating between “live” and voltage-free conductors is not
possible. The maximum detection depth is 6 cm.
Please observe that concrete requires several months to dry
completely.
Concrete Special
The operating mode “Concrete Special” is particularly suita-
ble for detecting objects embedded deep in reinforced con-
crete. Reinforcing steel, plastic and metal pipes, as well as
electrical wiring are displayed. The maximum measuring
depth is 15 cm.
When too many objects are displayed, it may be possible that
you are moving directly alongside a reinforcement rod. In this
case, place the measuring tool a few centimetres aside and try
again.
Panel Heating
The operating mode “Panel Heating” is particularly suitable
for detecting metal, metal-composite and water-filled plastic
pipes, as well as for electrical wiring. Empty plastic pipes are
not displayed. The maximum measuring depth is 8 cm.
Drywall
The operating mode “Drywall” is suitable for finding wooden
beams, metal framing and electrical wiring in drywalls (wood,
gypsum board, etc.). Filled plastic pipes and wooden beams
are displayed identically. Empty plastic pipes are not detect-
ed. The maximum measuring depth is 8 cm.
Metal
The operating mode “Metal” is suitable for detecting metal
objects and “live” conductors when other operating modes in
different wall situations do not provide satisfactory results. In
such cases, the detection results will be more extensive, yet
less precise.
Signal View Mode
The operating mode “Signal View” is suitable for all materi-
als. The signal strength at the corresponding detection posi-
tion is displayed. In this operating mode, objects close to
each other can be precisely detected and complicated mate-
rial structures can be better evaluated based on the charac-
teristic of the signal. The maximum detection depth is 6 cm.

The summit of the curve is displayed in the small scale above
the operating-mode indication hin the form of a U. The object
depth and the material properties (as far as possible) are dis-
played. The maximum measuring depth is 15 cm.
fConclusions on the object depth cannot be drawn from
the signal strength.
Changing the Display Modes
Note: Changing the display modes is possible in any operat-
ing mode.
To switch from the standard start display to rule mode, press
and hold selection button 10 or 12.
In the example, rule mode shows the same situation as in
figure D: Three steel bars equally apart. In rule mode, the clear-
ance between the detected object centres can be determined.
The measuring distance covered from the starting point (in
the example 20.1 cm) is displayed under the indication of the
object depth l.
The three objects are displayed as rectangles in the small rule
above the operating-mode indication h.
Note: Both the indication of the object depth las well as the
material property mrefer to the object pictured black in the
sensor.

Device Information
In the “DeviceInfo” menu, information on the measuring tool
is provided, e.g., about the “Operation Time”.
In the “Restore Settings” menu, you can restore the factory
settings.
Examples for Measuring Results
Note: In the following examples, the audio signal on the meas-
uring tool is switched on.
Depending on the size and depth of the object under the sen-
sor range, it is not always possible to positively determine
whether this object is “live” or voltage-free. In this case, the
symbol will appear in indicator n.
“Live” Wire (see figure C)
A “live”, metal object (e. g. a power cable) is within the sensor
range. The object depth is 1.5 cm. The measuring tool emits
the warning signal for “live” conductors as soon as the power
cable is detected by the sensor.
Steel Bar (see figure D)
A magnetic object (e.g. a steel bar) is within the sensor range.
Further objects are also located to the left and right, outside
of the sensor range. The object depth is 5.5 cm. The measur-
ing tool emits an audio signal.
Copper Pipe (see figure E)
A metal object (e. g. a copper pipe) is within the sensor range.
The object depth is 4 cm. The measuring tool emits an audio
signal.
Plastic or Wooden Object (see figure F)
A non-metal object is within the sensor range. The object is
plastic or wooden, and close to the surface. The measuring
tool emits an audio signal.
Large Surface (see figure G)
A metal, large surface (e. g. a metal plate) is within the sensor
range. The object depth is 2 cm. The measuring tool emits an
audio signal.
Many Unclear Signals (see figures H–I)
When many objects are shown in the standard start display,
the wall probably consists of many hollow spaces. To broadly
block out the hollow spaces, switch to the “Metal ”operating
mode. When there are still too many objects being shown,
carry out several height-offset measurements and mark the
detected objects on the wall. Offset marks are an indication
for hollow spaces, whereas marks on a line indicate an object.
