Product Information
Full details
The Franklin Sensors ProSensor 710+ is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors needing precise stud detection behind single-layer drywall. Its key benefit is the superior accuracy from 13 patented sensors and a wide LED display that clearly indicates stud center, edges, and width, minimizing guesswork and improving project efficiency. A primary caveat is that it is not suitable for lath & plaster or other non-drywall surfaces, and it requires two AA batteries that are not included.

Troubleshooting
Device does not turn on
Ensure that two fresh AA batteries are correctly inserted according to polarity markings. Check if the battery compartment is securely closed.
Inconsistent or no readings
Confirm the device is being used on a single-layer drywall surface. Ensure the device is held flat against the wall and that the 'Always On' function is active. Try moving the device slower or faster across the wall.
LED display is dim or flickering
This may indicate low battery power. Replace the AA batteries with new ones.
