Several integrated sensors make the StarFinder from Laserliner
to a highly effective detection tool. High functioning safety is
ensured by special warning signals.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert battery: To do so, open the battery compartment in
the back of the housing and insert a 9V battery
(E-Block/PP3/6LR61).
2. Switch on the StarFinder (button 6).
3. Select STUD-SCAN or AC-SCAN (6):
A. STUD-SCAN: For electronically detecting studs and joists in
dry walls (plaster fibreboard, wooden panels and other
non-metallic panelling). Use the SET button (4) to adjust
the measuring depth.
B. AC-SCAN: For localising live wires directly beneath the pla-
ster or behind wooden panels and other non-metallic
panelling. It is not possible to detect live wires in dry walls
with metal studs.
4. Measuring in STUD-SCAN mode
• Select STUD-SCAN (button 6). Select “Normal” (SET button).
This setting is ideal for plaster fibreboard panels installed in
one thickness (max. 2 cm).
• Select “Deep” (SET button) for two plaster fibreboard
panels installed on top of each other (max. 4 cm).

• Select “Super-Deep” (SET button) for thick wooden panels
and floor constructions (parquet etc.), max. measuring
depth 6 cm.
• Place the tool against the wall.
•LED CAL (3) flashes: Press the calibration button (7) and
wait until calibration is completed. CAL OK: LED CAL (3)
lights permanently.
•Move the tool slowly across the surface.
IMPORTANT: The device must be in contact with the wall all
the time while measuring in StudScan-Mode. AC-Mode see
next page.
Tip 1: The position between the two markings is the mid-
point of the stud.
Tip 2: The position where you start is important: First place
the tool in a position where you know there is no stud.
Otherwise, the LED CAL (3) will blink. To verify: Move
the tool to another position a few centimetres away
and start measuring again.
Tip 3: The maximum display does not light up, even though
the LE display shows a reading. As soon as the most
intense display appears, the tool is over the edge of the
stud. Mark this point. Alternatively, increase the measu-
ring depth (SET button).
Tip 4: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your free
hand and other objects at least 15 cm away from the
StarFinder.
Tip 5: The StarFinder will only find the outside edge of double
studs and headers which may be fitted around doors,
windows and corners.

Then scan for the
other edge of the
stud.
Slide the tool sideways across the wall.
When the maximum display appears, you
have reached the edge of the stud.

Tip 6: Ensure that you have really detected a stud. To do so,
check on both sides whether other studs are present at
equal distances, usually at 30, 40 or 60 cm. Also check
that it is a stud by scanning at several places directly
above and below the position of the first find.
Tip 7: Textured ceilings: The ceiling must be covered with
cardboard to protect it. In this case, use the DeepScan
function.
CAUTION: If electric wires or metal or plastic pipes are
located near or in contact with a plaster fibreboard panel,
they may be identified by the StarFinder as studs. Always
switch off the power supply when working near electric wires.
SPECIAL THINGS TO NOTE WITH VARIOUS MATERIALS
It may not be possible to detect wooden studs or joists
through the following materials:
• Ceramic floor tiles
• Fitted carpeting with padded backing
• Wallpaper with metal fibres or metal foil
• Freshly painted, damp walls. These must have dried for at
least one week.
5. AC-SCAN
The StarFinder is able to detect the electrical fields of live
wires.
• Select AC-SCAN (button 6).
• Hold the tool in the air so that it is pointing away from any
live wires.
•LED CAL (3) flashes: Press the calibration button (7) and
wait until calibration is completed. CAL OK: LED CAL (3)
lights permanently.
•Move the tool slowly across the surface. Please refer also
Tip 1 on next page.

ENGLISH 9

CAUTION: Wires which are at a depth of more than 4 cm
may not be detected. Always switch off the power supply
when working near electric wires.
Tip 1: Depending on surface material electro-static
interference may occur when moving unit, LED’s will
light up. In this case move tool slowly over the wall
without touching surface.
Tip 2: Because of static charges, electric fields may be
detected at the side of the actual position of the wire.
To carry away these charges, lay your free hand on the
wall.
Tip 3: If you suspect that wires must be present but cannot
find any, this may be because they are shielded in
conduits. Use STUDSCAN in order to check the near
area.
Tip 4: The position where you start is important: To achieve
maximum sensitivity, start by placing the device in a
position which is known not to be near live wires.
Tip 5: With the Set Button (4) the sensivity can be adjusted.
The highest sensivity (max. 4 cm) can be found the the
mode "Super"-Deep.
Subject to technical alterations.
