Impostare
Installazione della batteria:
- Individuare il vano batteria sul retro del dispositivo.
- Aprire il coperchio del vano batterie.
- Insert the required batteries (e.g., 9V battery, as per device markings) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Chiudere saldamente il coperchio del vano batterie.
Accensione iniziale:
Premere il tasto ACCESO/SPENTO button to power on the device. The LCD display will illuminate, and a brief self-test may occur.
Istruzioni per l'uso
The detector offers different modes for various detection tasks. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before scanning.
Selecting Detection Mode:
Use the mode selection button (AC Sens) to switch between sensitivity levels for AC wire detection (I, II, III). Other detection modes (Stud, Metal, Cavity) are typically automatic or selected by specific buttons on the device, as indicated on the display.
Scanning for Studs (Wooden Beams):
- Select the appropriate mode for stud detection.
- Place the detector flat against the wall surface.
- Far scorrere lentamente il rilevatore orizzontalmente sulla superficie.
- Il display mostrerà un incrementoasing signal strength as it approaches a stud. An acoustic signal may also sound.
- Mark the edges of the stud as indicated by the device.

Scanning for Metal:
- Select the appropriate mode for metal detection.
- Place the detector flat against the surface.
- Slowly move the detector across the area.
- The device will indicate the presence of metal objects (e.g., pipes, rebar) with a visual and/or acoustic signal.
- The intensity graph will help pinpoint the exact location.

Scanning for Live AC Wires:
- Select the AC wire detection mode.
- Adjust the sensitivity level (I, II, III) using the dedicated button (AC Sens) to suit the depth of the wires. Start with lower sensitivity and increase if needed.
- Move the detector slowly across the surface.
- The device will indicate the presence of live AC wires with a distinct visual alert (e.g., flashing icon, voltage alert indicator) and an acoustic signal.
- Attenzione: Always verify the absence of live wires with a non-contact voltage tester before drilling or cutting.

Detecting Cavities:
The detector can also identify hollow spaces or cavities behind surfaces. This mode typically works by detecting changes in material density. Follow the general scanning procedure, and the device will indicate areas of lower density.
Manutenzione
- Pulizia: Pulire il dispositivo con un panno morbido e asciutto dopo ogni utilizzo. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
- Magazzinaggio: Store the detector in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Sostituzione della batteria: Per garantire letture accurate, sostituire le batterie quando sul display compare l'indicatore di batteria scarica.
Risoluzione dei problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Il dispositivo non si accende. | Batterie scariche o installate in modo errato. | Controllare la polarità delle batterie; sostituire le batterie. |
| Letture imprecise. | Low battery, improper calibration, or interference. | Replace batteries. Ensure proper calibration (if applicable, refer to device instructions). Avoid scanning near strong electromagnetic fields. |
| No detection in AC mode. | Sensitivity too low, or wires are too deep. | Increase sensitivity level. Ensure the device is flat against the surface. |
| False positives/negatives. | Surface conditions (e.g., dampness), or user technique. | Ensure surface is dry. Scan slowly and consistently. |
