Product Information

Full details

The Laserliner MultiFinder Plus 080.965E is a versatile digital multi-detector designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking to safely locate hidden objects within walls. Its key benefit is the ability to detect live wires, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and wood up to a depth of 10 cm for metal and 4 cm for wood and live cables. A minor caveat is its maximum detection depth for live cables and wood is 4 cm, compared to 10 cm for steel. This device simplifies renovations by providing clear visual and acoustic signals, adapting automatically to wall surfaces, and featuring a permanent voltage warning for enhanced safety. The illuminated LC display offers a user-friendly guide, and its construction incorporates a significant portion of recycled plastic for sustainability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum depth the MultiFinder Plus can detect?

The MultiFinder Plus can detect steel up to a depth of 10 cm (100 mm). For wood and live cables, the maximum detection depth is 4 cm (40 mm).

Can this device detect pipes that are not live?

Yes, in metal mode, the device can detect concealed metal lines, including non-live ones, provided they are made of ferrous or non-ferrous metal.

How does the device adapt to the surface?

After powering on, the device automatically analyzes the surrounding material and calibrates itself to the specific wall surface you are scanning, allowing for immediate use.

What type of battery does the MultiFinder Plus use?

It uses one 9V alkaline battery (e.g., 6LR61).

Is the device suitable for all wall types?

The device is suitable for common wall materials. For very dense or uneven surfaces, accuracy might be reduced. Always perform tests in known areas if possible.

How do I ensure I am getting accurate readings?

Ensure the device is properly calibrated, move it slowly and steadily across the surface, and consult the illuminated LC display for signal strength and material type indicators. Avoid scanning near large metal appliances or power sources.

Does the device provide visual and audible alerts?

Yes, it provides both clear visual signals on the illuminated LC display and distinct audible signals when an object is detected.

Troubleshooting

Device does not turn on

Ensure a fresh 9V alkaline battery is correctly inserted. Check the battery contacts for corrosion.

No detection or erratic readings

Ensure the device is properly calibrated on a surface free of the material you are trying to detect. Move away from large metal objects or electrical sources that might interfere. Check if the correct detection mode is selected.

Low battery indicator is always on

Replace the 9V battery with a new one. Batteries can lose charge even when not in use.

Audible alarm sounds continuously

This may indicate a constant live wire or a strong metal object. Move the device to a different location or ensure you are not directly over a detected item.

Pros and Cons

  • Auto-adapts to surface for immediate use.
  • Ensures high safety with a permanent voltage warning.
  • Clear visual and audible alerts for easy object identification.
  • User-friendly interface with an illuminated display.
  • Environmentally friendly construction using recycled materials.

Cons

  • Maximum detection depth for wood and live cables is limited to 4 cm.
  • Requires a 9V alkaline battery, which may need frequent replacement depending on use.
  • Does not differentiate between types of metal beyond ferrous and non-ferrous.
  • Requires careful calibration and understanding of signals for optimal accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert a 9V alkaline battery into the battery compartment.
  2. Power on the device by pressing the power button.
  3. Select the desired detection mode (e.g., metal, wood, live cable) using the mode selection buttons.
  4. Calibrate the device by holding it away from any surfaces and pressing the calibrate button until the display indicates readiness.

Compatibility:

  • This device is designed for use on common wall materials such as drywall, plaster, and concrete.
  • It detects ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, wood, and live AC voltage.
  • Ensure the surface is relatively flat for optimal performance.

Care:

  • Clean the device with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Remove the battery if the device will be stored for an extended period.
