Configurar

Instalação da bateria

The ProSensor M90 requires two AAA batteries (not included). It is important to use non-rechargeable batteries for optimal performance. Rechargeable batteries are not compatible with this device.

1. Locate the battery lid on the back of the unit. You will see lines indicating the release points.
2. To remove the lid, gently squeeze both ends of the battery lid together and lift it off.
3. Insert two AAA batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery lid by inserting one of the clips into the battery cavity first, then gently depress the other side of the battery cover to secure the second clip.

Teste inicial

After installing batteries, perform a quick test to ensure the device is functioning correctly. The M90 will only light up when it detects a change in density. You can test this by running your finger behind the unit while holding the button. The LEDs should illuminate.

Instruções de operação

Operação geral

The ProSensor M90 is designed for simple, one-mode operation. No calibration is required before use.

1. Hold the Device: Grip the stud finder firmly with your fingers on the handle area, ensuring no fingers are over the sensor area.
2. Activate Scanning: Press and hold the button located on the top of the unit. The device will instantly begin scanning.
3. Scan the Wall: Place the stud finder flat against the wall and slowly slide it horizontally across the surface.
4. Identify Studs: As the device moves over a stud, the LED lights will illuminate, indicating the full width of the stud. The middle LED will turn green to indicate the stud's center.

Principais recursos e benefícios

• 9-Sensor Accuracy: Equipped with 9 precision sensors, the M90 provides highly accurate detection of studs. This multi-sensor technology allows for a broader scanning area and more reliable results compared to conventional stud finders.
• Full Width Detection: Unlike single-sensor devices that only indicate the edge or center, the ProSensor M90 illuminates multiple LEDs to show the entire width of the stud, including its edges and center simultaneously. This reduces guesswork and improves marking precision.
• Deep Scan Capability: The device offers a 1 1/2-inch deep scan capability, allowing it to detect studs through various wall materials and textures, including sheetrock and drywall.
• Wood and Metal Stud Detection: The M90 identifies changes in density, enabling it to detect both wood and metal studs without requiring different modes or settings.
• No Calibration Required: The device automatically adjusts to different wall conditions, eliminating the need for manual calibration. Simply press and hold the button to begin scanning.
