User questions & answers

Question:	how well over thick second floor carpet
Answer:	the studpop doesn't respond to electricity at all. But since the studpop is looking for actual metal fasteners, when it does find one, it's a good bet that it's not in a wire.
Question:	Will this detect studs behind plaster and will it detect wires
Answer:	3/4" might be pushing it but that also seems awful thick for plaster over lath. IT always works for me on L & P
Question:	can this alert you to AC runs in t he wall
Answer:	The studpop was designed to work on any kind of wall. Sheetrock, plaster, lath and plaster, tile. That's the guarantee. If it doesn't appear to be working then it's either defective or you're not using it right. In either case contact the company and they'll figure it out. Being a new company with a very new product, they are very eager to please ; )
Question:	Can you find studs thru exterior stucco or wood siding? Thanks
Answer:	We don't have popcorn textured ceilings. I think ours are called slap brush, and it definitely does stay on them (I just tried it tonight to find out).

Please note that, like a cell phone or any personal electronic device, the 9V batteries needed to power Zircon tools can lose power even when sitting idle. The installation of a fresh battery, with an extended expiration date, typically resolves 99% of problems seen by Zircon Customer Support.

Find the Edges and the Center of Studs

1. StudScan Mode:

Use this mode to find the center, edges, and direction of wood or metal studs up to 3/4 inches (19 millimeters) deep. For best results, always start in this mode when looking for studs.

Note: WireWarning detection works in all modes. The indicator flashes on the screen when detecting a live, unshielded wire.

2. DeepScan:

If Stud Scan mode provides irregular readings, or the Signal Strength Indicator is weak, the studs might be behind more than ¾ inches (19 millimeters) of drywall Quickly push the handle of the device downward twice to switch into DeepScan mode. This doubles the scanning depth to 1½ inches (38 millimeters) deep and allows for increased accuracy on deeper targets.

Note: WireWarning detection works in all modes. The indicator flashes on the screen when detecting a live, unshielded wire.

Metal Scan Mode Detects Both Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal

3. Metal Scan Mode:

Use this mode to locate and avoid hazards such as pipes behind walls. Metal Scan mode detects non-ferrous metal such as copper pipe up to 1½ inches deep, and ferrous metal such as rebar, up to 3 inches deep.

Use Metal Scan mode to differentiate between metal and wood studs. First, find the stud in StudScan mode. Then, switch to Metal Scan mode and run the MS 740 up and down the stud. The tool alerts in a pattern as it detects the drywall screws in the wood for wooden studs. The unit alerts along the length of the studs with metal studs

Note: WireWarning detection works in all modes. The indicator flashes on the screen when detecting a live, unshielded wire.

AC Scan Mode Helps Find and Trace Live, Unshielded Wires

4. AC Scan Mode:

In this mode, the LCD screen finds live, unshielded, electrical wires up to 2 inches (51 millimeters) deep. Move the MS 740 slowly across the surface and the signal indicates the proximity of the source. Mark where the strongest signal appears. Continue this process to track the wires through the walls.

Integrated Marking Tool for Easy One-Handed Operation

The MS 740’s integrated erasable marker allows easy, one-handed operation. When the target is found, simply push down on the 'mark' button. The pencil marks the surface without interrupting the scan. The MS 740 comes with a pencil pre-installed, and refills in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: What is the scanning depth for the MultiScanner 740?

Answer: The MS 740 scans up to the following depths:

- Stud Scan: ¾ in (19mm) deep.

- DeepScan: 1½ in (38mm).

- Metal Scan: 3 in (76mm).

- AC Scan: 2 in (51 mm).

Question: How can I tell if I’m in DeepScan mode?

Answer: When the MultiScanner 740 is in DeepScan mode, the STUDSCAN indication on the LCD flashes continuously.

Question: How can I be certain the object found behind my wall is a stud when in DeepScan mode?

Answer: The increased sensitivity in DeepScan mode may have located something other than a stud. Studs are equally spaced to either side (12, 16, or 24 in. apart) and typically run from floor to ceiling. To better confirm that what you found is a stud, check for other studs equally spaced to either side 12, 16, or 24 in. apart or for the same stud at several heights directly above and below the first stud indication. A stud reading also measures approximately 1 ½ in. (38 mm) apart from each edge.

Question: The stud finder seems to be detecting more targets than there should be. What am I doing wrong?

Answer: There may be electrical wiring and/or metal or plastic pipes near or touching the back surface of the wall. Switch to Metal Scan mode where, combined with WireWarning detection, pipes and electrical wiring should be detected adequately. You can also check for studs equally spaced to either side (12, 16, or 24 in. apart).

Question: Can I find studs behind lath and plaster construction?

Answer: Yes. Using Metal Scan mode, you can identify a stud behind the lath and plaster wall by locating the pattern of nail or screw heads attaching the wood lath to the studs. The nails or screws should be found in a column when scanning for metal. However, if the plaster has metal mesh reinforcement, MultiScanner 740 may be unable to detect studs through that material.

Question: Can I use this scanner on the exterior of my home?

Answer: No. Zircon StudSensors are designed and recommended for interior use only.

Question: I am having difficulty detecting metal, what can I do to remedy this?

Answer: Recalibrate the tool in another location. The tool could’ve been calibrated over, or close to, a metal object, reducing sensitivity. The metal target could also be too deep; if this is the case scan in both horizontal and vertical directions. Metal sensitivity is increased when metal object is parallel to the sensor, located at the front end of the scanner beneath the cross hairs.

Question: I suspect electrical wires in a certain area when I scan, but why am I not detecting any?

Answer: Wires may be shielded in metal conduit or behind a metallic wall covering. It could also be that the wire is deeper than 2 in. or that the wire may not be live (hot). Try the Metal Scan mode to see if you can find metal, wire, or metal conduit. Always exercise extreme caution when working near electricity.

Question: Is the tool waterproof?

Answer: No. The MultiScanner 740 is splash and water resistant, but not waterproof.

Question: What is the difference between AC Scan and WireWarning detection?

Answer: Most Zircon StudSensors have WireWarning detection that indicates when the tool is in the vicinity of live AC voltage. Tools with the WireWarning detection feature continuously detect hot electrical wires (unshielded) up to 2 inches deep while you are scanning for studs or metal. The WireWarning detection is always on, in all modes, to alert you to the presence of hot, unshielded AC wires behind the wall. Depending on the model, either an LED light or an icon on the screen will appear when live AC voltage is being indicated.

In addition to WireWarning detection, some tools also have a dedicated AC Scan Mode. The difference between WireWarning detection and AC Scan Mode is the user interface. WireWarning detection is indicated by a light or icon that is either on or off. In AC Scan mode the bars on the LCD screen indicate when the tool is moving towards the source of the voltage or away from the source of the voltage. Both WireWarning detection and AC Scan Mode may indicate over a smaller or larger zone around the wire depending on conditions. Both features allow the user to interactively calibrate the sensitivity to AC voltage. If the unit indicates over a large area the user can re-calibrate the unit closer to the source of AC in order to reduce sensitivity so the unit will indicate AC over a smaller zone around the wire.

Question: What can this product do in terms of wire tracing?

Answer: Zircon tools with AC Scan Mode are not full featured wire tracers, however when users are mapping a section of a wall AC Scan Mode can assist them in locating the route a wire takes through that section of the wall.

Question: Where can I get help using my MultiScanner?

Answer: Technical Support is available Toll Free on our Customer Support Number 8:00am – 5:00pm Mon – Fri PST or on the Zircon Website.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have metal plates covering some of my electrical wires can it still detect the electrical wires or will it confuse the instrument
Answer:	I have tried using this sensor on second floor thick carpet and had no luck locating joists. Great on sheetrock walls though. I don't think that there is any sensor that will pick up joists through carpet and plywood.
