How often should I replace the battery?

The device includes a battery low voltage display; replace it whenever this indicator appears on the screen.

Is the measurement range the same for all materials?

No, the range is 5-50% for wood and 1.5-33% for building materials.

Why does the device turn off automatically?

The auto-off feature is a power-saving function that triggers after 3 minutes of inactivity.

Troubleshooting

The display does not turn on.

Check that a fresh 9V battery is installed correctly with the right polarity and ensure the battery connectors are clean.

Measurements seem inconsistent.

Ensure the sensor pins are pushed firmly into the material and that the material is not excessively dirty or treated with conductive finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your detector, insert a standard 9V monobloc battery into the dedicated rear compartment. Always ensure the protective cap is removed before attempting to measure materials. For accurate results, press the sensor pins firmly into the material being tested. To maintain the device, keep the sensor pins clean and free of debris or oxidation. Always replace the protective cap after use to prevent injury from the sharp pins and to avoid damaging the sensor tips. If the battery low voltage icon appears on the LCD, replace the battery immediately to ensure continued measurement precision.
