▪ When the measuring tool leaves the other edge of the wood, the signal intensity symbol
disappears, the center icon goes out, the green lights light up and the buzzer stops making
sounds.
7.7 Detecting live wires
▪ Press the live wire button (8) to enter live wire detection mode. Symbol b will appear on the
display.
▪ When there are no live wires around the detector but the signal h works, the measuring tool
needs to be calibrated.
▪ Proceed as follows to calibrate. In the current position, hold the live cable button until the h
signal on the display is 0 and the green light is lit up. The calibration is finished. Release the
button to detect the live cable.
▪ The detector can detect 40~60 Hz AC live power cables.
▪ In some cases this measuring tool may not be able to find buried live wires (eg. the cable is
hidden under metal surface or concrete and other objects can have a shielding effect).
When looking for a live cable, the detection signal is affected by the position of the live wire.
Therefore, it is advisable to repeatedly detect the investigated area or use other resources
to determine whether a live cable is available.
▪ Note: static electricity may cause inaccurate detection results. To improve the detection
results, put your free hand on the wall next to the detector. This may release the static
electricity.
7.8 Moisture measurement
▪ Press key 7 to enter the wood moisture detection mode. The icon f will appear on the
display.
▪ Perform a long press to enter the building materials moisture detection mode. Icon I will
appear on the display.
▪ In the moisture detection mode, long press key 7 to switch between wood or building
material moisture measurement mode. Short press key 7 to lock data.
▪ Unplug the probe cover (9). Hold the instrument and thrust the probe into the target to be
tested. The test data will appear on the display (d). Press key 7 to lock the test value again.
When symbol e appears on the screen, the moisture measurement is completed.
7.9 Guidance for operation
▪ The sound can be disabled. Press the wood detection key (6) and metal detection key (8) to
disable or enable the sound.
▪ The measuring values can be impaired through certain ambient conditions. These include:
the proximity of other equipment that produce strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields,
moisture, metallic building materials, foil -laminated insulation materials, conductive
wallpaper… Therefore, please also consult other information sources (eg. construction
plans) before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, ceilings or floors.
8 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
▪ Check the measuring tool each time before use. In case of visible damage or loose
components inside the measuring tool, safe function can no longer be ensured.
▪ Keep the measuring tool clean and dry at all times to ensure proper and safe working.
▪ Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
