5.2. Calibrazione iniziale

Before each use, or when switching detection modes, it is recommended to perform an automatic calibration.

1. Place the device flat against the surface you intend to scan, ensuring no objects are directly beneath it.
2. Premere e tenere premuto il tasto CAL button until the calibration process is complete (indicated on the LCD).
3. The device is now ready for use in the selected mode.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

6.1. Accensione/spegnimento e selezione della modalità

Per accendere il dispositivo, premere il pulsante Modalità button. To switch between detection modes (Wood/Stud, Metal, AC), press the Modalità button repeatedly until the desired mode is displayed on the LCD.

6.2. Detection Modes and Depths

The MultiFinder Plus offers three primary detection modes:

• Stud-Scan (Wood): Detects wooden studs and beams.
  • Detection Depth: Approximately 2 cm to 4 cm.
• Metal-Scan: Detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including copper, steel, and iron. This mode can also detect non-live cables under plaster.
  • Detection Depth: Up to 10 cm.
• AC-Scan: Detects live electrical wires (110V-230V).
  • Detection Depth: Approximately 4 cm to 5 cm.

6.3. Procedura di scansione

1. Select the appropriate detection mode using the Modalità pulsante.
2. Perform automatic calibration by pressing the CAL button while the device is flat against the surface.
3. Slowly move the device horizontally across the surface. Maintain constant contact and pressure.
4. Observe the LCD display for signal strength indicators and the 'MOVE' arrows, which guide you towards the center of the detected object.
5. When an object is detected, the device will emit an acoustic signal, and the optical display will show a strong signal. For live wires, the red warning light will also illuminate.
6. Mark the location of the detected object. For precise localization, scan the area from multiple directions.

6.4. Acoustic and Optical Signals

The MultiFinder Plus provides clear feedback:

• Segnale acustico: A beeping sound indicates the presence of a detected object. The frequency or intensity may change as you get closer to the object.
• Display ottico: The LCD screen shows a bar graph indicating signal strength. The higher the bars, the closer you are to the object.
• Spia rossa: Illuminates when live electrical wires are detected, providing an immediate visual alert.

7. Manutenzione e cura

• Pulizia: Pulire il dispositivo con un panno morbido, damp panno. Non usare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
• Magazzinaggio: Store the device in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (-20 °C to 70 °C).
• Batteria: Rimuovere la batteria se il dispositivo non verrà utilizzato per un periodo prolungato per evitare perdite.
