Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum detection depth for different materials?
The device can detect ferrous metals up to 12 cm, non-ferrous metals up to 10 cm, live cables up to 5 cm, and wood up to 2 cm.
How do I calibrate the MultiScanner Plus?
Place the device flat on the surface to be scanned, away from any detected objects. Press and hold the calibration button until the device indicates calibration is complete. Automatic calibration is recommended for general use.
Can this device detect plastic pipes?
The MultiScanner Plus is primarily designed for detecting metals, wood, and live wires. It cannot directly detect plastic pipes.
What is the battery life of the device?
The device has a battery life of approximately 3 hours on a full charge.
How do I ensure safety when detecting live wires?
Always rely on the permanent voltage warning feature. However, for absolute certainty and before any intrusive work, always switch off the relevant circuit breaker.
What is the "Auto Off" function?
The Auto Off function is an energy-saving feature that automatically turns the device off after a short period of inactivity to conserve battery power.
Can I use this device on wallpapered walls?
Yes, the device is suitable for use on various surfaces, including those covered with wallpaper, as long as they are non-metallic structures. Calibration may be required for optimal results.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Ensure the Li-Ion battery is charged. Connect the charger and check if the charging indicator lights up. Try a different power outlet.
Inaccurate readings
Perform manual or automatic calibration on a clean, flat surface away from potential interference. Ensure the correct detection mode is selected for the material being scanned. Check for nearby metal objects that could cause false positives.
No detection of live wires
Verify that the live wire detection mode is active and that the voltage is within the detectable range (110-230V). Ensure the wire is actually live and not deactivated at the breaker.
LCD display is blank or flickering
Check the battery level. If low, charge the device. If the issue persists after charging, contact customer support.
