Scanning for wood studs

• Maximum detection depth: Exact mode:20mm; Deep mode:38mm.
• Wood detection mode will detect objects in gypsum drywall, plywood sheathing, bare wood flooring, coated wooden wall. Wood detection mode will not detect objects in concrete, mortar, block, brick work, plaster, carpeting, foil-faced materials, metallic surfaces, ceramic tile, glass, or any other dense material.

Scanning for metal objects

• Maximum detection depth: Ferrous metals: 100mm; Non-ferrous metals (Copper): 80mm.
• When the metal is detected, the screen will show the depth value synchronously, but if the signal is weak, or the tool cannot distinguish that the metal object is magnetic or non-magnetic, the depth value will not be displayed. The depth value is the distance from the center of the sensor to the scanned object. At the position of minimum depth value, the metal object is located near the center of the sensor.

Scanning for wires

• Maximum detection depth: 50mm (220V@50Hz / 110V @ 60 Hz).
• The signal strength of a “live” wire depends on the position of the cable. Therefore, apply further measurements in close proximity or use other information sources to check if a “live” wire exists.

How to find the stud

• Hold the tool straight up and down, position it onto the surface to be scanned, and do not rotate the tool.
• Press the mode button briefly to enter the wood stud detection mode, the symbol will flash on the screen. Do not move until the symbol stop flashing and the green light is on, automatic calibration of the tool is completed.

Step 2

• Move the tool uniformly and slowly over the surface without lifting it off or changing the applied pressure. During the scan , the tool must cling the wall, otherwise it will automatically calibrate again. Please wait for the symbol stop flashing and the green light to light up again and then move the tool.

Step 3

• When the tool comes close to a stud, the scale m and the percentage n will increase, the distance indicator l will appear. As the tool gets closer to the stud, the yellow indicator will light. As it detected the center of the stud, the red light is on.

Step 4

• To make the detection results more reliable, when the center is marked, please slide the tool across the wall again to check if the center is near the location of the highest percentage.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it detect floor studs under carpet and padding
Answer:	Scan goes 1.5 inches on deep scan most subfloors are 1 inch plus carpet and pad.....my guess is no. Im guessing you need to add floor outlet. In that case look for hvac vents in floor to show orientation of floor joices. Best thing ive done is drill 1/8 inch hole and put long steel wire down through insulation then go in crawl to see if in between floor joices. Ive seen some electricians just drill it where homeowner wants floor outlet and if they hit joice they just drilled it out and installed floorbox to hide mistake. Most stud finders dont do good on flooring
Question:	Does it work on metal studs
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Our walls are 3/4 inch tongue and groove. Will this be able to detect through that
Answer:	The ProSensor 710+ should detect through wood tongue and groove walling material.
Question:	will it detect and show studs behind plaster and lath
Answer:	This unit can detect studs through lath and plaster, but it is not guaranteed as it is on drywall. Because lath and plaster usually is usually thicker and less consistent, it could lead to some inconsistent readings. The multiple sensors and deep sensing capabilities on this stud finder give it a better chance on lath and plaster, but it cannot be guaranteed.

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).
