CombiFinder Plus
Tip 1: The position between the two markings is the mid-point
of the metal object. Through the high measuring sensitivity,
thick metal objects appear broader than they are in real life.
Therefore move the device over the newly found object as
shown in Image B. The device is calibrated automatically
during this process. Manual calibration should be performed
near the place found last as shown in Image C. Repeat this
step as needed.
Tip 2: The position where you start is important: First place
the device in a position where you know there is no metal.
Otherwise, the message "ERROR" will appear in the display.
To remedy: Move the device to another position a few
centimetres away and start measuring again.
Tip 3: In the case of complicated applications, e.g. ribbed steel,
scan the surface both horizontally and vertically.
Tip 4: Flexible floor and wall heating pipes which contain
a metal foil and are located near the surface may also be
detected. Test for this function in places where you know
the position of such pipes.
Tip 5: To avoid interference while scanning, keep your free
hand and other objects at least 15 cm away from the device.
Tip 6: The device only finds the outer edge of metal structures
set into the wall for doors, windows and corners. Afterwards
search for the other edge of the metal structure. Slide the
device sideways across the wall. When the maximum indication
appears you have reached the metal structure's edge.
Tip 7: Ensure that you have really detected a metal object.
To do so, check on both sides whether other metal objects are
present at equal distances, usually at 30, 40 or 60 cm. Also
check that it is a metal object by scanning at several places
directly above and below the position of the first find.
Tip 8: Textured ceilings: The ceiling must be covered with
cardboard to protect it. In this case, perform detection with
maximum sensitivity, i.e. calibrate the device in mid-air.
Note: If an object is deep inside a wall, the device may not
indicate it clearly.
