User questions & answers

Question:	Is there an instruction manual online? I misplaced the manual that came in the box
Answer:	Si puede solicitar un manual de instrucciones en [email protected]
Question:	Will this locate studs behind bathroom tiles
Answer:	If your tile wall has cement backer board, then this device will not work. If your tile is backed by sheetrock, then it will probably work unless your tile is took thick. I wouldn't trust it to locate pipes behind tile, so take care if you're working in a bathroom.
Question:	Is the battery included
Answer:	No the 9volt battery is not included.

What Is A Stud Finder?

As the name suggests a stud finder detects studs behind the surface of a wall.

Detection is achieved using two different methods:

1. Magnetic

Uses powerful magnets to pinpoint the location of screws or nails in a stud. Therefore it doesn't detect the stud itself but rather the hardware that attaches the wall material to the stud.

2. Electronic

Electronic stud finders rely on sensors that detect changes in the dielectric constant (the relative permittivity) of the wall. This changes when the sensor is over a stud. The lower reading indicates the presence of a stud in the wall and the signal will let you know by the colored lights. eOUTIL ST100 stud finder is an electronic style.

• Upgraded Smart Sensor: The stud finder adopts intelligent micro-sensor chip with highest sensitivity, which can detect accurately and quickly
• Digital stud detector features large LCD display together with the big sound warning to detect the accurate location of the objects. When find the material, the LCD display will indicate the direction and the intensity of beeping tells whether you are more close to the target. The fast detection saves users time greatly.

Product description

There are two tips to ensure the wall scanner never trick you again

1. Go slowly: To be effective, stud finders need to be properly calibrated. First, place yours on the wall and turn it on — you can usually do this by holding in a button. Let the stud finder read the density of the material (this will only take a second or two and you will hear the sound of " beep"), then slowly move it from side to side. Go back and forth over the wall a few times, starting from a different spot with each pass. Mark each stud you discover with a pencil. We recommend finding three and using a tape measure to make sure they are the same distance apart. This will help you avoid false positives.

2. Always double-check: After you have marked your studs and where you want to drill your holes, you should use something to poke into the wall to ensure you actually marked a stud. We would recommend doing this by hand, rather than using a power tool, as you will have a better feel for what’s inside the wall. You can also tap a small nail into the wall; get past the drywall without the nail “falling in” and you’ve found a stud. The last thing you should do before drilling is poke a little hole to the left and right of where you want to drill and make sure you are still on the stud. This will ensure you are centered on a stud, and not just clipping its side (and possibly hitting electrical wiring).

Product description

Whether you’re hanging a picture, mounting a TV, renovating part of your home, or working as a professional contractor, you need to know what is on the other side. Our stud finder is one of those tools that you will eventually need. PERLESMITH stud finder can help you finish your DIY home project well. The wall detector features large LCD display, ergonomic design and multi-sense technology for accurate detection of both metal and wooden studs. It will also detect live wiring up to two inches into walls and metal up to 2.36 inches deep. The five scanning modes (1/2” stud scan, 1” stud scan, 1.5” stud scan, metal scan & AC scan) make it ideal for both tradesmen and home carpenters. With this device, you can immediately find a suitable place on the wall without making any extra holes

There are two tips to ensure the wall scanner never trick you again

1. Go slowly: To be effective, stud finders need to be properly calibrated. First, place yours on the wall and turn it on — you can usually do this by holding in a button. Let the stud finder read the density of the material (this will only take a second or two and you will hear the sound of " beep"), then slowly move it from side to side. Go back and forth over the wall a few times, starting from a different spot with each pass. Mark each stud you discover with a pencil. We recommend finding three and using a tape measure to make sure they are the same distance apart. This will help you avoid false positives.

2. Always double-check: After you have marked your studs and where you want to drill your holes, you should use something to poke into the wall to ensure you actually marked a stud. We would recommend doing this by hand, rather than using a power tool, as you will have a better feel for what’s inside the wall. You can also tap a small nail into the wall; get past the drywall without the nail “falling in” and you’ve found a stud.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work on plaster walls
Answer:	No. This model does not detect electrical wiring. I don't think Franklin has a model for detecting electrical current. However it is the best I have found that can detect wall studs accurately.
Question:	Does this work on ceilings
Answer:	Hello, Sadly, the T6 is not capable of sensing through tile.
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Hello, Yes, it tends to be even more accurate with metal studs. Our stud finders sense density, and since metal is more dense than wood, the reading will tend to be more accurate on metal studs. Thank you for your inquiry. Best regards, The Franklin Sensors Team
