Stud Scan Detection

Deep Scan Mode scans through 2 layers of drywall up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep. DeepScan Mode is a higher sensitivity scanning mode that should be used when there are extra layers of wallboard or paneling. To minimize false positives and/or finding other objects further behind the wall that may not be a stud, always start your scan in StudScan Mode first.

Metal Scan Detection

This wall scanner will locate metal studs in Stud Scan, Deep Scan, and Metal Scan Modes. Since our stud finders are looking for a change in density behind drywall, not a particular material, in Stud Scan and Deep Scan Modes the detector will react to metal studs the same as it would for wooden studs.

After you detect the center of a object, Please Use Metal Scan to determine if the previous reading in Stud scan was a wood stud, metal stud, or pipe.

Live AC Wire Detection

Wire Warning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep. For Safety, in all modes, this wall scanner always detect and indicate the Live AC Wire.

Note: Wire Warning Detection works in both Stud Scan / Deep Scan / Metal Scan Modes. The Wire Warning Detection Icon will flash when live, unshielded wires are detected.
