Product Information

Full details

The Laserliner MultiFinder Pro (080.966A) is a versatile digital multi-detector designed for construction and renovation professionals who need to accurately locate hidden materials within walls and surfaces up to 100 mm deep. Its key benefit is the ability to detect wood, live wires, ferrous, and non-ferrous metals with precision, ensuring safer drilling and installation. A minor caveat is that its maximum detection depth for live cables and wood is 4 cm, requiring users to be aware of this limitation for deeper structures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum detection depth of the MultiFinder Pro?

The device can detect materials up to 100 mm deep. However, the maximum detection depth for live cables and wood is 4 cm.

Can this device detect non-live wires?

Yes, in metal mode, the MultiFinder Pro can detect non-live cables under plaster.

What types of materials can the MultiFinder Pro detect?

It can detect wood, live wires, ferrous metal, and non-ferrous metal.

How does Auto-Calibration work?

Auto-Calibration adjusts the device to different surfaces immediately after switching it on, ensuring accurate readings from the start.

What type of battery does the MultiFinder Pro use?

It uses one 9V 6LR61 alkaline battery.

What should I do if I get inconsistent readings?

Ensure you are in the correct detection mode, move the device slowly, and allow Auto-Calibration to complete. Try scanning the area again, perhaps from a different direction or with a slight adjustment in position.

Is there a warning for live voltage?

Yes, the device features a permanent voltage warning function for enhanced safety.

Troubleshooting

Device does not turn on.

Ensure a fresh 9V 6LR61 battery is correctly inserted. Check the battery contacts for dirt or corrosion.

Inaccurate readings or no detection.

Ensure Auto-Calibration has completed successfully. Check that the correct mode is selected for the material being detected. Recalibrate by turning the device off and on again. Ensure the device is moved slowly and steadily across the surface.

Audible alarm does not sound.

Check if the volume setting is turned down or off (if applicable). Ensure the detected object is within the device's detection range and depth.

False positive detection.

Verify readings by scanning the area multiple times or using a different mode. Be aware of potential interference from nearby metal objects or wiring not targeted by the current scan mode.
