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.

Product description

The Zircon MetalliScanner m40 electronic metal scanner quickly and easily detects metal in lath and plaster, wood, drywall, paneling, tile, stucco, plaster, concrete and other non-metallic surfaces. This metal detector locates ferrous (magnetic) metal up to 4 inches (100 mm) deep and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) metal up to 2 inches (50 mm) deep.

Zircon MetalliScanner m40

The MetalliScanner m40 quickly and easily detects metal in wood, drywall, paneling, tile, stucco, plaster, concrete, and other non-metallic surfaces. It locates ferrous (magnetic) metal up to 4 inches (10 cm) deep and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) metal up to 2 inches (5 cm) deep. The MetalliScanner m40 finds plumbing, ductwork, rebar, nails, and screws in walls, floors, and ceilings, and is great for scanning reclaimed lumber for hidden metal.

m40 Functions:

- Detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals in most non-metallic surfaces.

- Finds the pattern of nails to detect studs.

- LED arrays indicate signal strength.

- Blue coil and audio tone indicate when metal target is located.

- PinPoint Scan locates small objects, including screws and nails.

- Wide Scan detects metal in walls or concrete.

PinPoint Scan

Use the m40's PinPoint Scan position to locate small metal targets such as nails and refine your search results.

How to Use:

As the m40 approaches a metal object, the red LEDs progressively light from the bottom up. The top lighted blue coil and an audio tone indicate the strongest signal when a metal target is located.

Calibrate away from any metal for maximum sensitivity. Recalibrating closer to the target decreases sensitivity to find the precise location of metal.

Wide Scan

Use the m40's Wide Scan to quickly find approximate locations of metal in walls and/or concrete.

Use the m40 in Wide Scan position just as you would in PinPoint Scan position.

Scanning through Lath and Plaster

The m40 solves the difficult problem of finding studs in lath and plaster walls that do not contain metal mesh by finding the pattern of nails that attach the wood lath to the studs.

The m40 scans through lath and plaster in both PinPoint Scan and Wide Scan positions.

Key to Success is the Battery

A fully charged 9V battery is required to steadily power the integrated LCD screen in Zircon tools. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of battery does the m40 use?

Answer: The m40 requires a 9V alkaline battery.

Question: What types of metal will the m40 detect and how deep is it able to scan?

Answer: The m40 detects both Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals up to 4 and 2 inches respectively.
