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 your other hand on surface approximately 12 inches

from sensor.

Warning: shielded wires or live wires in metal conduits, casings, metallized walls or thick,

dense walls will not be detected. Always turn AC power off when working near wiring.

The unit 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.

Adjustment Feet

The adjustment feet allow the leveling of the Laser line on the horizontal or vertical surfaces.

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 a stud, joist or firebreak.

When working near AC electrical wires, always turn off the power.

Operating Tips

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Insure proper detection of live wires ALWAYS hold the unit in the handle area only. Grasp between

fingers and thumb while maintaining contact with your palm.

Conventional Construction

Doors and windows are commonly constructed with additional studs and headers for added stability.

The unit detects 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
