Scanning In Auto Mode - Zircon ElectriScanner v5 Handbuch

5. ScaNNING IN autO MODE

To turn the tool on, press and hold the Power button . It will start up in the last mode used . If
the tool starts up in MANUAL mode, toggle it to AUTO mode . Wait for the battery indication
(READY light) before moving the tool .
Slide the tool across the entire area you are scanning . This initial scan allows the tool to calibrate
to the wall and determine which signals are strong (potential live wires) and which signals are
weak (potential false positives) . Once you have performed a preliminary scan, go back across
the surface to find the targets . Do not release the Power button; turning the tool off resets the
memory and erases the preliminary scan results the unit has "learned" during calibration .
Finding a vertical wire Finding a horizontal wire
When the unit is in the vicinity of a live wire, the closest directional
LED will light up amber . Move the tool in the direction of the LED .
As you get closer to the target, the LED may change direction as the
sensors get a more accurate reading of where the signal is
coming from .
When you are directly over the target, all four directional LEDs will
light up red and the tool will beep . Mark the wall through the hole
in the centre of the sensing arms .
To trace the path of the wire, move the tool in a circle around the
first mark . Follow the directional LED indications to again pinpoint
Marking the wall
the target 12–13 cm on either side of your first mark . Mark the wall
wherever the tool indicates it is over the target .
Continue this marking procedure to trace the entire length of the
wire . To confirm you have found the path of the wire, run the tool
along the marks; all four directional LEDs should stay illuminated red
(to indicate the target centre) and the beep should remain constant .
