DEWINNER DE-SH201 Bedienungsanleitung

Stud Center Finder, Metal and
AC Live Wire Detector (DE-SH201)
This Item features four scanning modes:
• Stud scan: Locates the center and edges of wood and metal studs up
to 3 ⁄4 in. (19 mm) deep.
• Deep mode: Locates the center and edges of wood and metal studs up
to 11⁄2 in. (38 mm) deep.
• Metal scan: Detects metal (such as 1⁄2 inch rebar) up to 2.36 in. (60
mm) deep.
• AC scan: Detects live unshielded AC wires up to 2 in. (51 mm) deep.
1. INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Push in the battery door tab at the bottom of the tool and open the door.
Insert a new 9-volt battery.Snap the battery into place and replace the
door.
Low Battery Indicator: The Low Battery Indicator icon displays when the
battery level is getting low. While the tool will still operate,the battery will
need to be replaced soon. When the low battery indicator icon appears
on the screen, the battery level is too low and not sufficient to power the
tool for proper operation. Please replace the 9-volt battery with a brand
new battery immediately.
2. OPERATING TIPS
For optimum scanning results, it is important to properly hold the stud
finder and move slowly when scanning. The following tips will provide
more accurate scanning results:
• Grasp the handle with your thumb on one side and your fingers on the
other side. Make sure your fingertips are resting on the handle and not
touching the surface being scanned or the scanning head of the tool.
• Hold the tool straight up and down, parallel to the studs, and do not
rotate the tool.
• Keep tool flat against the wall and do not rock, tilt, or press hard when
slowly sliding across the surface being scanned.

• Avoid placing your other hand, or any other part of your body, on the
surface being scanned. This will interfere with the tool's performance.
• If you're receiving erratic scanning results, it may be a result of humidity,
moisture within the wall cavity or drywall,
or recently applied paint or wallpaper that hasn't fully dried. While the
moisture may not always be visible, it will interfere with the tool's sensors.
Please allow a few days for the wall to dry out.
• Depending on the proximity of electrical wiring or pipes to the wall
surface, the scanner may detect them in the same manner as studs.
Caution should always be used when nailing, cutting, or drilling in walls,
floors, and ceilings that may contain these items.
• To avoid surprises, remember that studs or joists are normally spaced
16 or 24 in. (41 or 61 cm) apart and are 11⁄2 in. (38 mm) in width.
Anything closer together or a different width may not be a stud, joist, or
firebreak.
Always turn off power when working near electrical wires.
SCANNING DIFFERENT SURFACES
Wallpaper: DE-SH201 functions normally on walls covered with
wallpaper or fabric, unless the materials are metallic foil, contain metallic
fibers, or are still wet after application. Wallpaper may need to dry for
several weeks after application.
Freshly painted walls: May take one week or longer to dry after
application.
Lath & plaster: Due to irregularities in plaster thickness, it is difficult for
MultiScanner DE-SH201 to locate studs in Stud modes. Change to Metal
Scan mode to locate the nail heads holding wood lath to the studs. If the
plaster has metal mesh reinforcement, DE-SH201 may be unable to
detect through that material.
Extremely textured walls or acoustic ceilings:
When scanning a ceiling or wall with an uneven surface, place thin
cardboard on the surface to be scanned and scan over the cardboard in
Deep mode. If irregular scanning results are received, switch to Metal
Scan mode to locate nails or drywall screws that line up vertically where a
stud or joist is positioned.
Wood flooring, subflooring, or gypsum drywall over plywood sheathing:
Use Deep mode and move the tool slowly. The Signal Strength Indicator
may only display 1 or 2 bars when the tool locates a stud through thick
surfaces.
DE-SH201 cannot scan for wood studs and joists through concrete or
carpet and padding. In problematic situations, try using Metal Scan to
locate nails or screws that may line up vertically where a stud or joist is
positioned.
Note: Sensing depth and accuracy can vary due to moisture, content of
materials, wall texture, and paint.
WARNING: Do not rely exclusively on the detector to locate items
behind the scanned surface. Use other information sources to help
locate items before penetrating the surface. Such additional
sources include construction plans, visible points of entry of pipes
and wiring into walls, such as in a basement, and in standard 16 and
24 in. (41 and 61 cm) stud spacing practices.
3. SELECTING THE MODE
Press MODE button switch to the desired mode: Stud mode for finding
wood or metal studs for 3/4 in.(19mm); Deep Mode for scanning walls for
3/2 in. (38 mm) thick; Metal Scan for locating metal; or AC Scan for
locating live AC wiring.Unit will remain off if Power button is not pressed.
4. CALIBRATING THE TOOL
• Calibration: TH250 can be calibrated anywhere on the wall. It
automatically recalibrates, when needed, to successfully find the center
of studs in one step.Place unit flat on the wall. Press Power Button to
power on. Press the Scan button to start calibration, the decreasing bars
will disappear and buzzer will beep one time and the calibration is
completed. (Continue to press Scan button and keep the tool flat against
the wall and begin scanning.)
Note: It is important to wait for calibration to complete (2–3 seconds)
every time.
5. FINDING A STUD
Always scan for studs with the scanner placed flat
against the wall. After power on, press and hold the
scan button. Wait for the reducing bars disappeared
and beep to confirm calibration has completed before
moving scanner.
Slowly slide tool across surface. A bottom pointed
arrow and EDGE indication will illuminate, indicating
location of the stud edge.
Continue sliding tool. When the center of a stud is
located, the full bars on the Signal Strength Indicator,
the pointed arrow on the top of the bars, the
CENTER indication will all show and the buzzer will sound.
In cases of deeper studs (thicker walls), when the
center of the stud is located, not full bars will show
on the screen. If you still cannot locate a stud, try
Deep Scan mode.
6. AC WIRE WARNING
AC WIRE WARNING detection feature works continuously in Stud scan,
Deep scan, and Metal scan modes. When live AC voltage is detected, the
AC detection warning indicator icon will appear in the display. Use
extreme caution under these circumstances or whenever live AC wiring is
present.
WARNING Electrical field locators may not detect live AC wires if
wires are more than 2 in. (51 mm) from the scanned surface, in
concrete, encased in conduit, present behind a plywood shear wall
or metallic wall covering, or if moisture is present in the
environment or scanned surface.
