OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BATTERY INSTALLATION

This unit is operated by one “9V” battery which is

not included.

• Slide open the battery cover on the back of the

instrument

• Attach the battery to the battery connector and

insert it into the battery compartment.

• Slide the battery cover back into place.

POWER

Power on the instrument using the thumb switch

on the right side of the unit.

SET UP

Hold the unit against the wall surface in a

vertical position (Figure 1). Press in and hold

down the button “STUD” which is located on the

left side of main body to calibrate the normal

density of the wall. A short beep will sound, and

the top red LED will light momentarily and then

go off. Do not move the unit until the top LED as

well as the beep sound goes off. Continue

holding down the button during all of the

following steps. (See “Notes for Stud Seeking”)

Steps for locating a vertical batten or wall stud:

Place the instrument against the wall in a

vertical orientation (Figure 2). ove the unit

horizontally across the wall. As the unit moves

towards a stud, the bottom red LED will light up.

As it moves closer, the upper LED will light up to

indicate the stud is nearby. When it detects the

edge of the stud, the top red LED lights up and

the beep sounds continuously. ark the first spot

at the marking position at the head of the

instrument. Continue moving the unit in the same

horizontal direction until the top LED and the

beep sound just goes out. ark the other edge of

the stud. The stud is now located and the middle

of stud is at the center between the two marks.

Steps for locating a horizontal batten or wall

stud:

Place the instrument against the wall in a

horizontal position (Figure 2). Repeat the same

procedure for locating a vertical wall stud but

move the instrument in a vertical (top to bottom)

direction.

NOTES FOR STUD SEEKING

• In case the instrument is placed over a dense

wall surface material, such as concrete wall,

during calibration procedure; the reading only

shows difference of wall density on the

surface. It is actually not a stud.

• If by chance the instrument is placed over the

wall batten or stud during calibration, the other

studs may be hard to detect. It is suggested

that you frequently re-calibrate on various

place on the same wall to avoid the false

readings. To do so, press Scan button once and

repeat the above procedures.

• The stud detection can be carried out normally

on wallpapered walls. However, it may not

function on some types of foil-backed or

metallic fabric surfaces.

• A double width of stud will be detected around

door or window frames as a double batten or

double stud is encountered.

Hold down

the button

“STUD”

MSV250 -FINAL1A- 032709:Layout 1 3/27/09 3:35 PM Pa e 4

• A solid wood header may exist in some doors.

The stud location will not be found if the

instrument is calibrated over the header.

However, if the unit is calibrated on a normal

wall first and then moved to the header area, it

will indicate the presence of the header.

• If the wall material is especially dense or thick,

the top arrow bar icon may not appear. Instead,

the other scanning bars might appear which

will actually be the “PEAK”.

• It is recommended to perform metal/voltage

detection to make sure the detected wood stud

or batten is not a metal pipe or energized

cable. Please note that some small securing

screws or nails may be detected.

METAL DETECTION

Slide the selector switch, which is located on the

right side of main body, to the “ ETAL” position.

Check that there is no metal in the immediate

vicinity and then turn on the detector by rotating

the sensitivity control towards the ‘ON’ position.

A short beep will sound and the red LED on the

left will flash momentarily. Continue to rotate the

sensitivity control towards to the ‘ON’ position at

the right side of the unit until the beeps sound

continuously, and the LED stays on all the time.

Then, gradually turn the sensitivity control back

towards the ‘OFF’ position until the beep stops

and the LED goes out.

METAL SCANNING

Hold the instrument horizontally with the sensor

head pointing towards the wall (Figure 3) and

sweep systematically over the required area.

If a metal object is detected, the unit will beep

Wire

continuously and the LED will light up. To

pinpoint the exact position after the metal has

been located, gradually rotate the sensitivity

control toward the ‘OFF’ position to reduce the

sensitivity and sweep over the area again.

VOLTAGE DETECTION

Slide the selector switch which is located on the

right side of main body to the “VOLTAGE”

position. Check that there is no source of

electricity in the immediate vicinity then adjust

the sensitivity control in the same way for

metal detection.

Steps for Voltage Scanning

Hold the detector horizontally with the marking

position pointing towards the wall (Figure 4) and

sweep systematically over the required area. If a

source of voltage is detected, the unit will beep

on and off and the red LED will flash. If the

source of the voltage is very close to the

detector, the beep will sound continuously and

the red LED will light up. Pinpointing the exact

position of the voltage source is done by

and Stud

gradually rotating the sensitivity control towards

the ‘OFF’ position to reduce the sensitivity and

sweeping over the area again.

NOTES FOR VOLTAGE DETECTION

• Some walls may contain metallic fiber for

fireproofing; this will spread the area of voltage

pick-up. Placing your free hand on the wall

may cancel the effect.

• Rubbing or banging the instrument on the wall

may generate static electricity and cause a

false reading.

• Only a small amount of electricity will trigger

the detector and can cause false readings,

such as a badly insulated cable touching a

damp wall.

• When the instrument gives a “No Voltage”

reading, check the unit on a known voltage

source before touching any conductor.

• It will not detect shielded conductors (i.e. those

in metal conduct, the unit only shows presence

of ETAL).

• Never take risks! If unsure, consult a qualified

electrician.

• The instrument can operate in both etal

Detecting and Stud Seeking models

simultaneously. Since plumbing may exist at

same location inside the wall (Figure 5), etal

as well as Stud Indicators will come on

together. If the wiring that is carrying voltage is

located at the wall batten or stud inside the

wall (Figure 5), Voltage as well as Stud

indicators will come on together. In case of

abnormal performance when operating the

unit, replace with a fresh battery.

Sostenga la unidad en posición vertical y contra

la superficie de la pared (ver Figura 1). Presione

y mantenga presionado el botón “STUD” (Viga),

ubicado en el costado izquierdo del cuerpo del

aparato, para calibrar la densidad normal de la

pared a explorar. Se escuchará un breve pitido y

destellará por un momento el LED superior de la

escala, para luego apagarse. No mueva la unidad

hasta que se extinga la indicación sonora y se

apague dicho LED. Continúe presionando el botón

durante los pasos siguientes. (Refiérase

“Comentarios Sobre La Búsqueda de Vigas”)

Para localizar un listón o una viga vertical

en la pared:

Coloque el instrumento contra la pared en

posición vertical (ver Figura 1). Desplace la

unidad horizontalmente a lo ancho de la pared.

A medida que la unidad se mueva hacia la viga

se encenderá el LED inferior. A medida que siga

acercándose, se encenderá el siguiente LED,
