Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 Y44 | (28.4.11)
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-
justtotheambienttemperaturebeforeswitchingiton.
In case of extreme temperatures or variations in tempera-
ture, the accuracy of the measuring tool and the display in-
dication can be impaired.
fUse or operation of transmitting systems, such as
WLAN,UMTS,radar,transmittermastsor microwaves,
in the close proximity can influence the measuring
function.
Initial Operation
Switching On and Off
fBeforeswitchingthe measuringtoolon, makesurethat
the sensor area 6 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.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 4.
To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 4
again.
When no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx.
5 minutes and when no objects are detected, the measuring
tool automatically switches off to save the battery.
Switching the Audio Signal On/Off
When the measuring tool is switched on, the audio signal can
beswitchedon oroffby pressingtheOn/Off button4forafew
seconds. When the audio signal is switched off, indication a
appears on the display.
Method of Operation (see figures A–B)
The measuring tool checks the base material of sensor area 6
in measurement direction zto the max. detection depth (see
“Technical Data”). Objects are detected that differ from the
material of the wall.
Always move the measuring tool in a straight line over the sur-
face applying slight pressure, without lifting it off or changing
the pressure. During measurement, the contact pads 5must
always have contact to the surface.
Measuring Procedure
After switching on, the illuminated ring 1lights up green.
Position the measuring tool against the surface being detect-
ed and move it toward the x- and y-axis. When the measuring
toolcomescloser toanobject,the amplitudeinthe mainscale
hincreases and ring 1lights up yellow; when it is moved away
from the object, the amplitude decreases. The main scale h
indicates the maximal amplitude above the object; ring 1
lights up red and an audio signal sounds. For small or deeply
embedded objects, ring 1can continue to light up yellow,
while there is no audio signal.
fWide objects are not indicated by the illuminated ring
or the audio signal throughout their complete width.
As soon as the measuring tool has localised an object below
the centre of the sensor, the fine scale iis activated.
To localise the object more precisely, move the measuring
tool repeatedly (3x) back and forth over the object.
The fine scale iindicates a maximum amplitude when the ob-
ject is positioned precisely below the centre of the sensor, in-
dependent thereof how many bars are displayed in the main
scale h.
When very small or deeply embedded objects are being sought
and main scale hreacts only slightly, move the measuring tool
repeatedly over the object in horizontal (x-axis) and vertical
(y-axis) direction. Observe the amplitude of fine scale i.
fBefore drilling, sawing or routing into a wall, protect
yourself against hazards by using other information
sources. As the measuring results can be influenced
throughambientconditionsorthe wall material,theremay
be a hazard even though the indicator does not indicate an
objectinthesensor range (noaudiosignalorbeepand and
the illuminated ring 1lit green).
Metal
When the detected metal object is of magnetic metal (e.g.
iron), the symbol dis indicated on display 3. For non-magnet-
ic metals, the symbol cis indicated. In order to differentiate
between metal types, the measuring tool must be positioned
abovethedetectedmetal object(ring1islit redandfinescale
iindicates a high amplitude).
Note:Forreinforcement steelmeshandsteelintheexamined
base material, an amplitude is indicated over the complete
surface of the main scale h. For reinforcement steel mesh, it
is typical that the symbol dfor magnetic metal is indicated on
thedisplaydirectlyabovethe iron rods,whereasbetweenthe
iron rods, the symbol cfor non-magnetic metal will appear.
Power Cable
When a “live” conductor is detected, indication eappears on
the display 3. Move the measuring tool repeatedly over the
area to localise the “live” conductor more precisely. After
moving over the “live” conductor several times, it can be indi-
cated very accurately. When the measuring tool is very close
to the conductor, the illuminated ring 1rapidly flashes red
and the audio signal beeps swiftly.
Notes:
– “Live” conductorscanbedetectedeasierwhenpowercon-
sumers (e.g. lamps, machines) are connected to the
sought conductor and switched on.
–Undercertainconditions(suchas belowmetalsurfaces
orbehindsurfaceswithhigh water content),“live”con-
ductors cannot be securely detected. The signal
strength of a “live” conductor depends on the position of
the cable. Therefore, apply further measurements in close
proximity or use other information sources to check if a
“live” conductor exists.
– Voltage-free conductors can be detectedasmetalobjects.
This does not apply for stranded conductors (contrary to
solid conductors or cable).
– Static electricity can lead to inaccurate indication of elec-
tric lines, e.g., over a large range. To improve the indica-
tion, place your free hand flat on the wall next to the meas-
uring tool, in order to remove the static electricity.

Working Advice
fMeasuring values can be impaired through certain am-
bient conditions. These include, e.g., the proximity of
other equipment that produce strong magnetic or elec-
tromagnetic fields, moisture, metallic building materi-
als, foil-laminated insulation materials or conductive
wallpaper or tiles. Therefore, please also observe other
information sources (e.g. construction plans) before drill-
ing, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.
Marking Objects
If required, detected objects can be marked. Perform a meas-
urement as usual. Once you have found the boundaries or the
centre of an object, mark the sought location through the
marking hole 2.
Temperature Control
The measuring tool is equipped with a temperature control in-
dicator, as accurate measurements are only possible as long
as the temperature within the measuring tool remains con-
stant.
When the temperature control indicator flights up, the meas-
uring tool is not within the operating temperature range or
was subject to large variations in temperature. Switch the
measuring tool off and allow it to adjust to the ambient
temperature before switching it on again.
Warning Function
When indicator blights up on the display, the measurement
must be restarted. Remove the measuring tool from the wall
and place it on the base material at a different location.
When indicator bflashes on display 3, send the measuring
tool to an authorised customer services agent.
Recalibration
When the main scale hindicates a continuously high ampli-
tude, even though there is no object near the measuring tool,
the measuring tool can be manually recalibrated.
– Switch the measuring tool off.
– Remove all objects near the measuring tool that could be
detected, including your wrist watch or rings made of
metal, and hold the measuring tool up.
Payattentionthatbatteryindicatorgindicatesatleast1/3
capacity:
– Switch the measuring tool on again. When the measuring
tool starts, immediately press and hold the the On/Off but-
ton 4. Hold the On/Off button until the illuminated ring 1
slowlyflashesred,indicatingthecalibrationofthe measur-
ing tool.
– Whenthecalibrationwassuccessful,ring1lightsupgreen
and the measuring tool automatically ready for operation
again.
Note: If the measuring tool does not automatically start, re-
peat the recalibration. If the measuring tool still does not
start, send it to an authorised customer services agent.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
fCheck the measuring tool each time before use. In case
of visible damage or loose components inside the measur-
ing tool, safe function can no longer be ensured.
Keep the measuring tool clean and dry at all times to ensure
proper and safe working.
Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other fluids.
Wipe away debris or contamination with a dry, soft cloth. Do
not use cleaning agents or solvents.
Inordernotto affect themeasuringfunction,decals/stickers or
name plates, especially metal ones, may not be attached in the
sensor area 6on the front or back side of the measuring tool.
Do not remove the contact pads 5on the backside of the
measuring tool.
If the measuring tool should fail despite the care taken in man-
ufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried
outbyanauthorisedafter-salesservicecentreforBoschpow-
er tools. Do not open the measuring tool yourself.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always
include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the measuring tool.
