Brightness
In the "Brightness" menu, you can adjust the
brightness of the display backlight. The default
setting is "Max".
Tone Signals
In the "Tone signal" menu, you can limit when the
detection tool will emit an audio signal.
Signal must be switched on via the audio signal
button 13.
– The default setting is "Live Wire": An audio
signal sounds after pressing the button, and
whenever a "Live" wire/conductor is under the
sensor range. Additionally, a warning signal is
given for "live" wires.
– Setting to "Live wire", an audio signal sounds
after pressing the button, as does the warning
signal is given for "live" wires, when the
detection tool indicates a power line.
– Setting to "Objects", an audio signal sounds
whenever an object is under the sensor range.
– Setting to "Keyclick", a tone signal only
sounds
after pressing the button.
Default Mode
In the "Default mode" menu, you can set the
default operating mode that is to be pre-set after
switching on the detection tool. The default setting
is "Last mode".
ExAMPLES FOR MEASURING RESULTS
Note: In the following examples, the audio signal on
the measuring tool is switched on.
Depending on the size and depth of the object under
the sensor area, it is not always possible to
positively determine whether this object is "live" or
voltage-free. In this case, the
in indicator n.
"Live" Wire (see figure C)
A "live", metal object (e.g. a power cable) is within
the sensor range. The object depth is 1.5 cm. The
measuring tool emits the warning signal for "live"
conductors as soon as the power cable is detected
by the sensor.
"Live" Wire Detection
Under certain conditions (such as when behind
metalized or conductive surfaces, shielded in metal
conduit or behind surfaces with high water
content/moisture), "live" wires/conductors cannot be
detected with certainty. These ranges may be
recognized as metal objects. The signal strength of
a "live" wire/conductor depends on the position of
the cable. Therefore, apply further measurements in
close proximity or use other information sources to
check if a "live" wire/conductor exists.
To access the "Extended settings" menu, press the
setup button 14 and the On/Off button 15 at the
same time when the detection tool is switched off.
To exit the menu, press the start button 11. The
standard start display for the measuring process is
activated and the settings are saved.
Navigating in the Menu
Press the setup button 14 to scroll down.
Press the selection buttons 10 and 12 to select the
values:
– Selection button 10 will select the right-hand or
– Selection button 12 will select the left-hand or
Device Information
In the "Device Infos" menu, you can access
information on the detection tool, e.g. the
"Operation Time".
In the "Restore Settings" menu, you can restore
the factory settings.
Operating Instructions
• Three-phase wiring is possibly not detected as
"live" conductor.
• Wires that are not "live" may be detected as metal
objects or may not be detected. This includes solid
copper cables, however stranded copper cables are
not detectable.
symbol will appear • Static electricity can lead to inaccurate detection
of electrical wires, especially, over a large range. It
?
may help to put a hand on the wall next to the
detector and measure again in order to help remove
the static electricity.
Detection values can be impaired through certain
ambient conditions. These include, but are not
limited to, the proximity of other equipment that
produces strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields,
moisture, metallic building materials, foil-laminated
insulation materials or conductive wallpaper or tiles.
Therefore, please also consult other information
sources (e.g. construction plans) before drilling,
sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.
Before penetrating surface (such as with a drill,
router, saw or nail), always shut off the electrical
power, gas and water supplies. Cutting, drilling, etc.
into these items when operational can result in
personal injury.
