IntelliLaser™ Pro (77-500)
Laser Pod
The addition of the laser pod opens up the functionality
of the stud finder. The unit is mountable using adhesive
pads (included). Retractable feet keep the adhesive
away from the surface during placement. The laser pod
can be tilted ±10°once it is attached to the surface
without removing the adhesive. This allows for easy
repositioning of the laser plane. The laser pod can be set
to level, plumb or any other angle required. With the
laser pod mounted to the wall horizontally, you are free
to use the main stud sensor laser pod and mark both the
height and stud locations at the same time.
The IntelliLLaasseerr™™PPrroolaser pod generates a horizontal
or vertical laser plane. It can also be mounted to the wall
to reproduce any angle required.
The IntelliLLaasseerr™™PPrroolaser pod provides heavy duty
ABS construction with large rubber pads to provide a
firm grip and superior impact
resistance.

Detecting Live Wires
The Live Wire Detection feature is always on and the
“Live Wire” icon will be displayed on the LCD. When a
Live Wire is detected, the red live wire LED indicator
will be on.(see illustration 3 & 4)
Static electricity charges that can develop on drywall
and other surfaces will spread the voltage detection
area many inches to each side of the actual electrical
wire. To aid in locating the wire position, scan holding
the unit 1/2 inch away from the wall surface or place
other hand on surface approximately 12 inches from
sensor.
Warning: shielded wires or live wires in metal
conduits, casings, metalized walls or thick, dense
walls, will not be detected. Always turn AC power
off when working near wiring.
The IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrroois designed to detect 110 volts
(for USA version) and 230 volts for (European version)
AC in live electrical wires. It will also detect the
presence of live wires having greater than 230 volts.
Cautions on Operating
You should always use caution when nailing, cutting or
drilling in walls, ceilings and floors that may contain
wiring or pipes near the surface. Shielded, dead or
non-powered wiring will not be detected as live
wires. Always remember that studs or joists are
normally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-
1/2 inches in width. To avoid surprises, be aware that
anything closer together or of a different width may be an
additional stud, joist or fire break.
When working near AC electrical wires, always
turn off the power.
114C IM 14Aug06 8/14/06 7:40 PM Page 11

1. Laser plane in the stud detection mode is
always on, a laser plane icon is also shown on the
LCD. It can be turned off by pressing “ ” button
once.
2. Laser plane can also be turned on individually by
pressing “ ” button once or pressing again to
turn it off.
3. The Laser plane will be auto - off after 1 hour.
4. The projected laser plane will coincide with
stud edge indicator.
5. The level vials are aligned to the laser plane.
When the bubble is centered, the laser plane
will be vertical/horizontal (depending on vial
used).

Depth Setting Tips
If the unit is not quite detecting a stud in the current
depth mode setting, try the next higher depth
setting. I.E. when in 1/2” mode, try 1” mode.
If the unit is too sensitive, try using a lower depth
mode setting. I.E. when in 1” mode, try 1/2” mode.
Conventional Construction
Doors and windows are commonly constructed with
additional studs and headers for added stability. The
IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrroodetects the edge of these double studs
and solid headers and emits and holds an audio signal
as it crosses over them.
Surface Differences
Wallpaper—There will be no difference in the
function of the stud sensor on surfaces covered with
wallpaper or fabric unless the coverings contain
metallic foil or fibers.
Plaster and Lath —Unless the plaster and lath is
exceptionally thick or has metal mesh in it there will be
no problem with the unit functioning properly.
Ceiling or Textured Surfaces —When dealing with a
rough surface such as a sprayed ceiling, use a piece of
cardboard when scanning the surface. Run through the
calibration technique described earlier WITH the piece of
cardboard between the stud sensor and the surface. Also,
it is particularly important in this application to remember
to keep your free hand away from the unit.
