IntelliLaser™Pro (77-260)
The Stanley®IntelliLaser™ Pro uses electronic signals
to locate the position of studs, joists or live AC wires
through drywall and other common wall materials.
Once the edge of the stud has been detected, the
IntelliLaser™ Pro LCD display gives visual and audio
indications that allow you to easily pinpoint the stud’s
edge position. A pencil line allows you to quickly note
the location of the stud edges.
The Stanley®IntelliLaser™ Pro generates a laser plane
vertically and pivoting 90 degree clockwise or counter-
clockwise to generate a laser straight line.
The IntelliLaser™ Pro allows the user to locate wood
and metal studs up to 3/4 inch for metal and wood
stud.
The IntelliLaser™ Pro provides automatic calibration
for metal and wood stud modes, auto shut off and
heavy duty ABS construction.
Detection mode is selected by keypad function - metal
and wood stud. Default mode is wood stud detection.
Mode should be selected before “on” key is pressed.

Operating Instructions
Battery Replacement
Open the battery door on back of unit
and connect a 9-volt battery to clip.
Place battery back into case and snap
battery door on. Recommend to replace
a new 9 volt battery when low battery
indicator is on.
Calibration
Calibrate the unit on wall before scanning for wood or
metal stud.
Note: While calibrating, the IntelliLaser™ Pro must
not be placed directly over a stud, dense material such
as metal, wet or newly painted areas as this will
prevent the unit from calibrating properly. If this is done
over wood or metal stud the unit will give no indication
when moved away from the area. Move to a different
location and try again.
1. Hold the IntelliLaser™ Pro flat against the surface,
making firm contact. Press and hold the “On”
button. All indicators on the LCD are displayed while
the unit goes through its’ 1 to 3 second calibration
cycle. When calibrated, and illustration 5 will be
shown on the LCD and a beep sound comes out.
2. Laser line is always on when
holding the “On” button.
3. Keep holding “On” button during
the stud detection.

USAGE
Detecting Wood Studs
Wood Stud detection is set as the default when
the unit is on.
1. Slide the unit across the surface in a straight line.
The closer the unit is to the stud the more bars will
be shown as illustration 6. When the stud edge is
detected the Wood indicator and the edge bar will
be shown as illustration 7 and the unit will sound a
repeating beep.
2. Use the indicator line to mark the stud edge.
3. Continue sliding past the stud. When the indicator
turns off and the unit stops beeping the other edge
has been detected.
4. Double check stud
location by coming
back from the
other direction.
Make additional
markings.
5. The midpoint of the marks indicates the

Detecting Metal Studs
1. Press “Metal” button once and
the LCD as shown in illustration 8.
Press & keep holding the
“On”button all the time during the
stud detection

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.
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 IntelliLaser™ Pro is 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.
