cidentally located , and having moved it over the surface, the measuring indicator f, the arrow below the “zoom” func-

tion indicator d and the illuminated ring 1 ash red. In this case, start the scan again by repositioning the measuring tool

somewhat offset onto the structure and pressing the “ZOOM” button 3 again.

When scanning for wooden object, metal objects are sometimes also indicated as object found at depths between 25-

50mm . To distinguish between wooden and metal objects, switch to the detecting-metal function (see “Detecting Metal

Objects”). When an object is indicated as the same location in this function, then it is clearly a metal object and not a

wooden object. To continue searching for wooden objects, switch back to the detecting-wood function.

SCANNING FOR “LIVE” WIRES

The measuring tool can indicate “live” wires/conductors with 50 or 60 HZ of AC . Other wires/conductors can only be

indicated as metal objects.

“Live”wires/conductors are indicated both during a metal scan as well as during a wood scan. when a “live” wire/con-

ductor is detected, the indicator a appears in the display. Move the measuring tool over the surface repeatedly in order

to localize the “live”wire/conductor more precisely. After moving the measuring tool over the surface several times, the

“live”wire/conductor can be indicated quite precisely. If the measuring tool is very close to the wire/conductor(four or ve

bars in indicator a), the illuminated ring 1 ashes red and the signal tone sounds with a rapid tone sequence.

“Live”wires/conductors can be detected easier when power consumers (e.g., lamps, appliances) are connected to the

wire/conductor being sought and switched on. Wires/conductors with 110 V, 240V and 380 V (three-phase current) are

detected with about the same scan capacity.

Under certain conditions(such as when behind metal surfaces or behind surfaces with high water content), “live”wire/con-

ductors cannot be detected with certainty. These ranges can be recognized in the metal detection function when a measur-
