4. Setup
Battery Installation:
The device requires one 9V battery (included). Open the battery cover on the back of the device, insert the 9V battery, and close the cover securely.
Calibration:
Before each use, perform automatic calibration to ensure accuracy.
- Place the detector flat against the wall in an area where you are certain there are no studs, metal, or AC wires.
- Press and hold the scan button for 3 seconds until the calibration is complete. A single beep confirms successful calibration.

5. Operating Modes
The WS02 detector offers multiple detection modes for various materials:
- Stud Detection Mode: Detects wood studs up to 38 mm (1.5 inches) deep. The LCD shows signal intensity, and a flashing icon indicates the center of a wood stud.
- Metal Detection Mode: Accurately detects metal up to 45 mm (1.77 inches) deep. Ensure to perform self-check and detection in an environment free of metal or strong magnetic interference.
- AC Wire Detection Mode: Detects live AC wires up to 120 mm (4.72 inches) deep. For safety, the scanner always detects and indicates live AC wires in all modes.
- Non-Metallic Material Detection: Identifies non-metallic objects.
Image: This diagram shows the various materials detectable by the device, such as pipes, wood, steel, wires, PVC pipes, and screws, indicating its versatility.
6. Usage Instructions
General Scanning Procedure:
- Power On: Press the power button to turn on the device.
- Select Mode: Use the mode button to select the desired detection mode (e.g., Stud Scan, Metal Scan, AC Scan).
- Calibrate: Perform automatic calibration as described in the Setup section.
- Scan: Place the detector firmly against the wall and move it slowly across the surface. Do not lift or shake the scanner during the process.
- Interpret Readings: The LCD display will show signal intensity. A flashing icon and a continuous beep indicate the center of the target.
- Mark Location: Once the center is found, mark the location on the wall.

7. Maintenance
- Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Store the device in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period.
8. Troubleshooting
Signal Interference / Constant Beeping:
If the detector shows signal interference or beeps continuously even when no AC power is present, it might be due to improper calibration or external factors.
- Move away from all strong AC sources or other electronic devices.
- Perform a fresh calibration in an area known to be free of obstructions.
- Ensure your hand is placed on the wall about 30cm away from the detector during calibration to help stabilize the baseline.
