2. Коопсуздук маалыматы

Always adhere to the following safety precautions to prevent personal injury or damage to the device:

  • Аппаратты ачууга же өзгөртүүгө аракет кылбаңыз. Ичинде колдонуучу тейлей турган бөлүктөр жок.
  • Always ensure the work area is well-lit and clear of obstructions.
  • Before drilling, always use the detector to scan the area thoroughly for hidden objects.
  • Be aware that certain wall materials (e.g., foil-backed insulation, metal studs, or very dense concrete) may affect detection accuracy. Always verify findings with other methods if unsure.
  • The device detects live AC wires. However, always assume that all wires are live and take appropriate safety measures.
  • Keep the device dry and clean. Do not expose it to water or excessive humidity.
  • Аппаратты колдонбогондо салкын, кургак жерде сактаңыз.

4. Орнотуу

4.1 Батареяны орнотуу

The BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 detector requires one 9V alkaline battery (included). Follow these steps to install the battery:

  1. Аппараттын артындагы батарея бөлүкчөсүнүн капкагын табыңыз.
  2. Бөлүмдү ачуу үчүн капкакты ылдый жылдырыңыз же кулпуну (эгер бар болсо) басыңыз.
  3. Туура полярдуулукту камсыз кылуу менен 9V батарейканы батареянын кличкасына туташтырыңыз (+ менен + жана -дан -га чейин).
  4. Батареяны бөлүмгө салыңыз.
  5. Батарея бөлүкчөсүнүн капкагын тыкылдаганча жабыңыз.

The LCD display will show the battery level indicator. Replace the battery when the indicator shows low power to ensure accurate readings.

5. Иштөө нускамалары

This detector offers three primary detection modes: Wood Stud, Metal, and Live AC Wire. Always calibrate the device before each use for optimal accuracy.

5.1 Иштетүү боюнча жалпы кеңештер

  • Ensure the device is held flat against the surface being scanned.
  • Move the detector slowly and steadily across the surface.
  • Mark the edges of detected objects to determine their center.
  • For best results, avoid touching the scanning surface with your free hand while operating the detector.

5.2 Wood Stud and Metal Detection

This mode is used to locate wood studs and metal objects (e.g., pipes, rebar) behind drywall or other common wall materials.

  1. Turn on the device using the Power Button.
  2. Set the Mode Selector Switch to the Wood/Metal position.
  3. Place the detector flat against the wall where you wish to scan. Ensure there are no objects directly beneath the sensor area during calibration.
  4. Press and hold the scan button (often the main power button or a dedicated scan button) until the calibration is complete (usually indicated by a beep or a stable display).
  5. Детекторду беттин үстүнө горизонталдуу түрдө акырын жылдырыңыз.
  6. When a stud or metal object is detected, the LCD display will show an indication, and an audible alert will sound. The signal strength bars will increase as you approach the center of the object.
  7. Mark the edges where the signal begins and ends. The center of the object is typically halfway between these marks.

5.3 Live AC Wire Detection

This mode is specifically designed to detect live (energized) electrical wires behind walls.

  1. Аппаратты күйгүзүңүз.
  2. Set the Mode Selector Switch to the Live AC Wire position.
  3. Place the detector flat against the wall.
  4. Детекторду беттин үстүнө горизонталдуу түрдө акырын жылдырыңыз.
  5. When a live AC wire is detected, the LCD display will show a specific icon (e.g., a lightning bolt), a red LED will illuminate, and a distinct audible alert will sound.
  6. It is crucial to re-scan the area from different angles to confirm the presence and path of live wires.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your detector:

  • Тазалоо: Аппаратты жумшак менен сүртүңүз, гamp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the sensor area is free of dust and debris.
  • Сактагыч: When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the device in its original packaging or a protective case in a cool, dry place.
  • Батареяны алмаштыруу: Replace the 9V battery as soon as the low battery indicator appears on the LCD. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

7. Кыйынчылыктарды

КөйгөйМүмкүн себепЧечим
Түзмөк күйбөй жатат.Өлүк же туура эмес орнотулган батарея.Батареянын полярдуулугун текшериңиз; зарыл болсо, аны алмаштырыңыз.
Туура эмес көрсөткүчтөр же жалган оң натыйжалар.Improper calibration, presence of foil-backed insulation, or very dense wall material.Re-calibrate the device on a clear section of the wall. Scan slowly. If using on foil-backed surfaces, results may be unreliable.
No detection of live AC wires.Wires are not energized, or too deep.Ensure the circuit is live (e.g., turn on a light switch). Detection depth for AC wires is up to 100 mm.
Device constantly beeps or shows full signal.Calibration error or presence of large metal object/foil.Move to a different section of the wall and re-calibrate. Ensure no metal objects are near the sensor during calibration.
