Operation
1. Battery exchange:
Open the battery compartment on the back of the tool and
connect up a new 9V battery (type 6LR 61). If the symbol 8.)
appears in the display, you should replace the battery as soon
as possible.
2. Switching-on and detection:
The MetalliFinder Pro can detect metals up to a depth of
75 mm and also localise live wires. For safety reasons, the AC
voltage warning is always active. The „Voltage (AC) found“
LED (b) lights up if a live line is located within the measuring
range.

Metal Search:
Press the ON/OFF button (d.) in order to activate Metal Search.
When Metal Search is activated, the symbol for the selected
mode (2. - 4.) appears in the display.
AC Search AC:
Press the ON/OFF button (d.) in order to activate AC Search.
When AC Search is activated, the AC symbol (1.) appears in
the display.
3. Calibration:
Press the CAL (e.) button to automatically calibrate the tool
in the selected mode. The CAL (5.) symbol appears for about
2 secs. in the display. When calibration has been successfully
completed, the symbol READY (6.) is displayed, if an error has
occurred, this is indicated by the symbol ERROR (7.).
Tip 1: Calibration error: If calibration is unsuccessful, this is
probably because the tool is located directly above an object
of the kind being searched for. Move the device to a different
position on the surface and try calibrating once more.
Tip 2: Detection error: To avoid detection errors, the
MetalliFinder should be kept in contact with the relevant
surface throughout the detection process.
4. Switching-off:
Press the Set and ON/OFF buttons (c, d) simultaneously. The
tool automatically switches off about 2 minutes after the last
search operation.
Scan modes:
A. Metal Search, Depth Measurement:
Metal Search offers three different detection modes which
are optimised for the different materials concerned. Select the
desired mode using the set button (c.).
Structural steel Iron pipes Copper pipes
Your selection is shown on the display by means of symbols
(2) to (4).

After successful calibration, the depth display 9.) indicates as
follows as metal is approached:
Metal detection begins at a distance of about 75mm. The
indicated value lessens as the tool approaches further, until it
is located directly above the metal object. In this position, the
distance to the metal object, i.e. the depth, is displayed (e.g.
about 25mm).
Tip 3: Localisation of metal:
Because of its high sensitivity, the MetalliFinder Pro can
normally detect objects in a broad radius beneath the relevant
surface. If you want to determine the actual centre of the
hidden object, you must move the MetalliFinder from both left
and right towards the object.
AFirst of all, move the device across the surface until the
Measuring centre LED (1) lights up briefly and an acoustic
signal sounds once.
BNext, move the device in the other direction. When
the device is above the target object, the LED (1) lights up
continuously and a constant signal sounds.

The device now indicates the start and end of the target
object.
Mark the positions on the left (L) and right (R) side of the
object (depth display (9) at smallest depth). The actual middle
(M) of the object is halfway between the two markings.
B. AC Search (AC):
This mode can be used to specifically locate live lines. Press the
ON/OFF button (d) to activate the mode; the AC symbol (1)
appears on the display. As soon as the device nears a live line,
an acoustic signal sounds and the Measuring centre LED (a)
lights up. Continue to move the device until it stops emitting
visual and acoustic signals. Repeat the procedure from the
other side.
Mark the positions on the left (L) and right (R) side of the
object where the signal reaches maximum intensity. The
actual middle (M) of the object is halfway between the two
markings. In this mode, the bar display does not indicate the
distance to the target object.
Tip 4: Press the Calibration button (e) as soon as the LEDs (a,
b) light up and/or the warning signal sounds. Then move the
device towards the object again. This adjusts the accuracy,
enabling the device to get nearer to the target object.
