Stud Scan Detection

Deep Scan Mode scans through 2 layers of drywall up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep. DeepScan Mode is a higher sensitivity scanning mode that should be used when there are extra layers of wallboard or paneling. To minimize false positives and/or finding other objects further behind the wall that may not be a stud, always start your scan in StudScan Mode first.

Metal Scan Detection

Tavool wall canner will locate metal studs in StudScan, DeepScan, and Metal Scan Modes. Since Tavool stud finders are looking for a change in density behind drywall, not a particular material, in StudScan and DeepScan Modes the detector will react to metal studs the same as it would for wooden studs.

After you detect the center of a object, Please Use Metal Scan to determine if the previous reading in Stud scan was a wood stud, metal stud, or pipe.

Live AC Wire Detection

AC Wire detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep. In all modes, this wall scanner always detect and indicate the Live AC Wire.

Note: AC Wire Detection works in both StudScan / DeepScan / MetalScan Modes. The AC Wire Detection Icon will flash when live, unshielded wires are detected.

Step 1:Calibrate the tool before every scan

After choose the mode, press and hold the scan button( on the side of the tool) to calibrate this tool. Wait for the reducing bars disappeared and beep to confirm calibration has completed.

In stud/deep mode, put it on the wall where you want to detect to calibrate it ;In AC/Metal mode, put it in the air to calibrate it.

Step 2: Scan the wall

Hold down the button, then move the stud finder along the wall slowly, if shake or lift the scanner accidently, the device needs to be re-calibrate.

The narrow on the screen togather with the beep signal alter, guides you to find the location of the stud.

Step 3: Find the location of the stud

When the signal bar is full and the beep alarm is loudest, it means you have found the center of an object.Mark it with your pencil.

Then choose the Metal Scan mode to test whether it is a metal. After you confirm that it is not a metal, it means that you found the center of a stud. (More details refer to the above description of "Metal Scan Detection")Then you can drill it to hang thing

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).

User questions & answers

Question:	is it ultrasonic
Answer:	Yes, the magnet is very strong and will hold itself to the wall.
Question:	Does this work in older homes with plaster walls
Answer:	The Studbuddy attaches to the fasteners in the wall. The differences I can see is that since this stud finder's base is plastic you run no risk of scratching the paint, also, the Studbuddy is about 6 inches long and you may find a screw or nail more easily than with a smaller magnet.
Question:	Wil this locate studs thru 3/4” tongue and groove paneling
Answer:	It is better at doing what it is designed to do. An electronic stud finder measures the density of the wall from one area to the next. This is great for then making a mark on either side of the stud as a reference, however, what it detects may or may not be a stud. A magnetic stud finder like the Studbuddy uses its magnets to detect and attach itself to the nails or screws in the drywall, or in the case of metal studs, the studs themselves. In this way you do not need to make a mark on the wall, simply position the Studbuddy on the wall above or below where you need to drive a screw or nail and then remove it when you are finished.
Question:	Will it find floor joists
Answer:	It detects the screw or nail heads that are in the studs, so yes it should be able to detect the studs through wood paneling.

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

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work on ceilings
Answer:	Short for package which can be 1 or many. If a number comes before it that means multiple.
Question:	what depth will it scan up to
Answer:	No! The Stud Buddy does not detect water pipes. When you run the stud finder across the wall it is drawn to drywall screws of nails holding the sheet rock to the wall framework we carpenters call studs. That's all it does. If the texture is really heavy you will have a harder time determining where the studs are located. However, I find these devices very helpful in my remodel work. I believe you will too.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work to detect studs in walls with spray foam insulation
Answer:	Hi. Zircon stud finders and multiscanners are optimized for standard interior drywall construction. Other interior surfaces can be penetrated with our scanners, but brick, slate, and rock type material are too dense. Thanks.
Question:	How is "wirewarning detection" different than "ac scan mode"? both say they find, "live, unshielded electrical ac wires up to 2 inches (50 cm) deep
Answer:	Hi. The packaging you received your A250 in is called "FFP". That stands for frustration free packaging. The other type would be the standard plastic "clamshell". Most folks prefer the FFP. I believe you can purchase the stud finder products either way from Amazon. Thanks.
Question:	does this stud finder come packaged, mine did not is that normal
Answer:	Hello Chris. Due to the variables in building techniques, materials and densities in exterior construction Zircon stud sensors are recommended for interior use only. Our stud sensors locate studs by finding changes in density and the density of the material you mention would not allow the A250 to calibrate properly and as such would prevent it from scanning for the studs. Thank you.
Question:	Will it work with brick walls
Answer:	Hello. The stud finder A250 does not come with a case. Thank you.

Product features

Zircon MultiScanner A200

The MS A200 is a handheld tool dedicated to quickly and efficiently find studs, detect metal and alert you of live AC wiring. The A200 comes equipped with 3 scanning modes: StudScan, DeepScan and Metal Scan.

3 Mode Multifunctional Wall Scanner with Backlit Display

The Zircon MultiScanner A200 makes scanning easy with its newly designed ergonomic grip. The scanner's StudScan finds shallower wood or metal studs up to 0.75 in. (19 mm) deep while DeepScan doubles the scanning depth to 1.5 in. (38 mm).

Metal Scan locates both non-ferrous (non-magnetic) metal, such as copper pipe, and ferrous (magnetic) metal, such as rebar. The A200 is able to detect non-ferrous metal up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep, and ferrous metal up to 3 in. (75 mm) deep.

The A200 also includes WireWarning Detection that automatically operates in StudScan, DeepScan and Metal Scan Modes. This safety feature alerts you to the presence of live, unshielded electrical AC wires while scanning for studs and metal.

Before use, always be sure to install a brand new 9V alkaline battery. Zircon stud finders, particularly those with LCD screens, require and consume a great deal of current from batteries. For optimal performance, brand-new, recently purchased alkaline batteries with an extended expiration date, are strongly recommended for use in these tools.

StudScan and DeepScan

Use StudScan Mode to find the center, edges, and direction of wood or metal studs up to 0.75 in. (19 mm) deep.

For best results, always start in StudScan Mode when looking for studs.

If StudScan Mode provides irregular readings, or the Signal Strength Indicator is weak, the studs might be behind deeper than 0.75 in. (19 mm). Slide the Mode Selector Switch to DeepScan Mode. This doubles the scanning depth to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep and allows for increased accuracy on deeper targets.

Before scanning, hold the A200 flat against wall and press the Power Button to calibrate. Be sure not to move the scanner while calibrating. After a short beep sounds confirming calibration is complete, continue pressing the Power Button and slide the scanner slowly against the surface.

When the A200 finds the edges and center of a stud, 'Edge' and 'Center' displays respectively, indicating you have found your target. When the stud's center is located, the SpotLite Pointer also illuminates and a short beep sounds.

The center of the stud is the stud's most secure location. It is critical to drill in the center of a stud when mounting heavy objects.

Note: WireWarning Detection works in both StudScan and DeepScan Modes. The WireWarning Detection Icon will appear when live, unshielded wires are detected.

Metal Scan

Detect Both Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal.

Use Metal Scan Mode to locate and avoid hazards, such as pipes, behind walls and determine if a stud is wood or metal.

Metal Scan Mode detects non-ferrous metal, such as copper pipe, up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep, and ferrous metal, such as rebar, up to 3 in. (75 mm) deep.

To use, be sure to first calibrate the A200. For maximum sensitivity, press and hold the Power Button while holding the scanner away from the surface. Once a short beep sounds confirming calibration is complete, place against the surface to be scanned. Be sure to continue to hold the Power Button.

Just like in AC Scan Mode, slowly slide the scanner across the surface and mark the spot where the most display bars peak. Continue scanning until the bars reduce and reverse the direction.

The midpoint between the two marks is the location of the metal target.

Note: WireWarning Detection works in Metal Scan Mode. The WireWarning Detection Icon will appear when live, unshielded wires are detected.

WireWarning Detection

Be Alerted of Live Electrical Wiring in all Modes.

WireWarning Detection is a feature that is always on while scanning in StudScan, DeepScan, and Metal Scan Modes.

It alerts you to the presence of live, unshielded electrical AC wires up to 2 inches (50 cm) deep.

As you approach an area with live AC voltage, a lightning bolt icon will display on the LCD screen. This the WireWarning Detection Icon. If your scan directly starts over an area with live AC voltage, the WireWarning Detection Icon will flash.

Note: Please turn off the electricity and use extreme caution in areas where live AC voltage is detected before nailing or drilling.

Auto Correcting Technology (ACT)

Automatically Have Common Errors Corrected.

This feature enables the scanner to automatically adjust for common calibration errors. It checks calibration 10 times per second and automatically recalibrates when/if needed. If scanning begins directly over a stud, the tool will transparently recalibrate, so you don't have to, and will find that stud when you scan back over it.

This recalibration is usually transparent and no indication is made. If an arrow icon illuminates, the scanner was calibrated near or over a stud and then moved away. The arrow indicates the direction of the missed stud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Does the MultiScanner A200 include a battery?

Answer: No. Zircon stud finders and detectors, particularly those with LCD screens, require and consume a great deal of current from batteries. For optimal performance, a brand-new, recently purchased 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date, is not included but is required to properly power the A200.

Question: I inserted a 9V battery, but the scanner doesn't turn on or is giving me strange readings. Is my scanner broken?

Answer: Please be sure to use a fresh, brand new 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date. Batteries that may work in a smoke detector or remote control may not have adequate voltage to power the sensing technology in MultiScanners.

Question: Does this scanner need to be calibrated?

Answer: Yes, as with all Zircon scanners, the MultiScanner A200 needs to calibrate to the surface before scanning. Calibrating the scanner on an empty wall gives the device a chance to measure the wall thickness and material density, as well as register factors like humidity, temperature, and even the minor electric readings from your hand, which all have an impact on the readings from the wall. Calibrating is easy and just takes a second. To calibrate, simply place the unit flat against the surface to be scanned and press the Power Button. When powering the A200 on, all the icons on the screen and the SpotLite Pointing System will briefly flash and the scanner will beep. After this occurs, the screen will then clear and, depending on the selected mode, the words 'StudScan', 'DeepScan' or 'Metal' will remain, indicating that calibration has occurred and the scanner is ready to begin scanning. It is important not to move the scanner or begin scanning until the calibration process has taken place for the most accurate results.

Question: What does 'Center Finding' mean?

Answer: Center Finding stud finders locate both the edges and the center of wood and metal studs and joists in one step. 'Edge Finding' stud finders, on the other hand, only find the edges of studs, so you must determine the center. Finding the center of the stud to mount heavy objects is critical as the stud's center is the most secure location of the stud.

Question: What is DeepScan Mode?

Answer: Unlike StudScan Mode, which scans through one layer of drywall up to 0.75 in. thick (19 mm), DeepScan Mode scans through 2 layers of drywall up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep. DeepScan Mode is a higher sensitivity scanning mode that should be used when there are extra layers of wallboard or paneling. Extra layers in a wall can make it difficult to find studs in regular StudScan Mode. To minimize false positives and/or finding other objects further behind the wall that may not be a stud, always start your scan in StudScan Mode first.

Question: How can I be certain the objects found behind my wall are studs in DeepScan Mode?

Answer: DeepScan Mode has increased sensitivity so you may have located something other than a stud. Studs are equally spaced to either side (12, 16, or 24 in. apart) and typically run from floor to ceiling. To better confirm that what you found is a stud, check for other studs equally spaced to either side and for the same stud at several heights directly above and below the first stud indication. A stud reading would also measure approximately 1.5 in. (38 mm) apart from each edge. Anything larger or smaller may not be a stud if not near a door or window.

Question: Will this MultiScanner A200 locate metal studs?

Answer: Yes, the A200 will locate metal studs in StudScan, DeepScan, and Metal Scan Modes. Since stud finders are looking for a change in density behind drywall, not a particular material, in StudScan, DeepScan, and Metal Scan Modes, the detector will react to metal studs the same as it would for wooden studs. The A200 will locate wood and metal studs up to 0.75 in. (19 mm) deep while DeepScan Mode locates targets up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep. In Metal Scan Mode, the detector will only detect metal studs, in addition to any other metal, within its specified scan depth and range.

Question: Why does the scanner beep and the lights flash when scanning for a stud?

Answer: The scanner could've been calibrated over a stud, calibrated on a dense part of the wall, or the back of the unit may have slightly lifted or tilted during the scan. Move the MultiScanner A200 over a couple of inches to the left or right, re-calibrate, and start your scan again.

Question: What is WireWarning Detection?

Answer: WireWarning Detection is a feature that is always on while you are scanning in StudScan, DeepScan, and Metal Scan Modes to alert you to the presence of live, unshielded electrical AC wires up to 2 in. (50 mm) deep. As you approach an area with live AC voltage, a lightning bolt icon will display on the LCD screen. This is the WireWarning Detection Icon. If your scan directly starts over an area with live AC voltage, this icon will flash. Please turn off the electricity and use extreme caution in areas where live ac voltage is detected before nailing or drilling.

Question: Why does the area of voltage appear much larger than an actual wire?

Answer: Static charge may develop on drywall, spreading voltage detection as much as 12 in. (30 cm) laterally from each side of an actual wire. To narrow detection, turn the scanner off and on again at the edge of where the wire was first detected and repeat the scan.

Question: I suspect electrical wires in a certain area when I scan, but why am I not detecting any?

Answer: Wires may be shielded in metal conduit or behind a metallic wall covering. It could also be that the wire is deeper than 2 in. or that the wire may not be live (hot). Try Metal Scan Mode to see if you can find metal, wire, or metal conduit. Always exercise extreme caution when working near electricity.

Question: Does the A200 work on wood paneling and other wood surfaces?

Answer: The A200 is optimized to scan through standard interior sheetrock / drywall (gypsum) construction. This scanner will work on wood, plywood, wood paneling and particle board up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) thick when in DeepScan Mode.

Question: Will the A200 work on textured wall surfaces, acoustic ceilings, or wallpaper?

Answer: Yes, the A200 will work on textured surfaces and dried wallpaper as long as it does not contain any metallic foil or fibers. For highly textured walls or acoustic ceilings, place or tape a thin piece of cardboard onto the surface to be scanned. Recalibrate and scan over the cardboard in DeepScan Mode.

Question: Can I use this scanner to find studs behind carpet?

Answer: No. Zircon scanners are designed for hollow interior walls. They will generally work well to find studs or joists through a plywood subfloor, after the carpeting/flooring has been removed.

Question: Will the A200 work on ceramic tile?

Answer: While the MultiScanner A200 may be able to scan through ceramic tile in DeepScan mode to locate studs, the many variable layers behind tiled surfaces make it one of the more difficult scanning environments. To find studs through ceramic tile, we suggest using Metal Scan Mode to find the nails or screw heads attaching the backing surface to the studs.

Question: Does this MultiScanner work on lath and plaster?

Answer: Yes. Using Metal Scan Mode, you can identify a stud behind the lath and plaster wall by locating the pattern of nail or screw heads attaching the wood lath to the studs. The nails or screws should be found in a column when scanning for metal. However, if the plaster has metal mesh reinforcement, the MultiScanner A200 will not be able to detect an accurate pattern of nail heads through that material.

Question: What does the Signal Strength Indicator do?

Answer: To help you filter out the target from potential decoys that would give the A200 a false reading, the Signal Strength Indicator gives a reading of the strength, or the certainty, of the returning signal from the wall. Three bars (the highest level) indicates an obvious result behind a normal wall, while two bars (or below) indicates that while the device has found something, it may either be a smaller object than your target, or the target is behind an extra thick wall. Since every wall is built differently, and since any wall can have pipes, wires, or other objects behind it that can return a result, you can use the Signal Strength Indicator to 'map out' your wall to determine the target from the other objects.

Question: Can I use this scanner to scan the outside wall of my house?

Answer: No. Zircon MultiScanners are designed and recommended for interior use only.

Question: I'm planning to mount my new flat screen TV to the wall. Will this scanner help me?

Answer: Yes. The A200 is ideal for basic home or office projects. The center-finding technology allows you to easily find and mark the center of the stud for secure mounting of TV's and AV equipment, closet or garage shelving, heavy mirrors, light fixtures, coat racks and more.

Question: Is the scanner waterproof?

Answer: No. The MultiScanner A200 is splash and water resistant, but not waterproof.

Question: What is the difference between magnetic and electronic stud finders?

Answer: Magnetic stud finders are simply magnets that look for anything magnetic behind a wall. Typically, they are advertised to find screws or nails that hold the wall surface to the studs. However, nails often times are not placed in the center of studs, making it difficult to determine where the stud's center is or how wide the stud is.

Electronic stud finders, such as the A200, on the other hand, operate by detecting density changes behind a surface (like a wall) and will clearly and precisely indicate the edges and center of a stud. The center of a stud is the most secure location when mounting anything heavy. For applications like mapping out floor joists, electronic stud finders have an advantage over magnets because they are not attracted to nails holding floor boards to a subfloor, as well as nails in joists.

Question: Does the MultiScanner A200 come with a warranty?

Answer: The MultiScanner A200 includes limited one year warranty when fulfilled by and shipped from Amazon.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this locate studs/nails in plaster lath construction walls
Answer:	No. Its terrible as a stud finder. Buy an electric one.
Question:	Is there a magnet/stud finder that will work and locate nails/stud inceiling to hang/anchor a sturdy hook to hang two hanging chairs for my daughters
Answer:	This will work. The drywall nails/screws are usually centered in the stud or ceiling joist. You have to move the magnet around until you find the first nail/screw. Then there should be another nail 16 inches or so on either side of the first nail you found. That should tell you which way the joists are running. Moving up or down the joists the nails will most likely be much greater than 16 inches apart Personally I would make sure not to hang the chairs from the same joist. And use a good strong hook and make sure it’s screwed in deep.
Question:	Will this hold on ceiling
Answer:	Maybe. How it finds the stud is the magnet is attracted to the drywall screws/nails. So it depends on how deep the screw/nail is under the mud and how strong the magnetic hold will be. I've never used it on a ceiling but on walls it usually holds on but sometimes falls off. You need to mark your spot then remove in in case it does fall. This is the best stud finder I've ever had, a carpenter showed it to me. I have never seen it in a hardware store only on Amazon. All the battery operated ones I've used are junk. This thing never fails.
Question:	I need something to locate nails or screws behind a popcorn ceiling
Answer:	I just tested it on some medium size popcorn material and it worked fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	I don't know the maximum thickness it can gauge, but it is totally Awesome for finding the nails in standard sheet rock thickness. An electrician used it on my walls to find the stud, and it was so effective, that I purchased a set for me. No more random knocking on the walls to find the studs
Question:	Does this case fit the “New” T
Answer:	I have 3/4 inch drywall and it finds the studs really easily, but I don't have carpeting. Guess you should give it a try, can't hurt. If it finds the tacking on the carpeted side walls through your carpet thickness, it might find the joists too! Best answer I can give you.
Question:	Will this fit the M150 series
Answer:	Nothing, I bought it and it was just one magnet. I contacted seller and they said they have only ever sold one at a time.
Question:	What are the inside dimensions
