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

Product features

Zircon StudSensor A100

The SS A100 is a handheld tool dedicated to quickly and efficiently find the edges of studs and alert you of live AC wiring. The A100 comes equipped with 2 scanning modes: StudScan and DeepScan.

Locate Studs and Scan for Live AC Wiring Safely and Efficiently

The Zircon StudSensor A100 makes scanning easy with its newly designed ergonomic grip. The tool's StudScan finds shallower wood or metal studs up to 0.75 in. (19 mm) deep. 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.

The A100 also includes WireWarning Detection that automatically operates in StudScan and DeepScan Modes. This safety feature alerts you to the presence of live, unshielded electrical AC wires while scanning for studs.

Before use, always be sure to install a brand new 9V alkaline battery. Zircon stud finders, particularly those with 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.

Edge Finding

Before scanning, hold the A100 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.

Be sure not to drill at the edge of the stud. Continue to scan the surface until the stud's center is detected.

The easy-to-read screen will alert you as the stud detector approaches the edge of the stud in both scanning modes. Once the edge is detected, the patented arrow-shaped SpotLite Pointer will shine, the translucent base will illuminate, and an audio tone will sound. DO NOT DRILL HERE! Instead, mark the spot in the “V’ marker groove at the head of the tool and continue past the stud. Repeat the process in the opposite direction and mark the opposite edge of the stud. The center of the stud is midway between the two marks.

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

StudScan and DeepScan Modes

Use StudScan Mode to find the edges 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 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.

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

WireWarning Detection

Safely Scan in both Modes

WireWarning Detection is a feature that is always on while scanning in StudScan and DeepScan 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Does the StudSensor A100 include a battery?

Answer: No. Zircon stud finders and detectors, particularly those with 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 A100.

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

Question: Does this tool need to be calibrated?

Answer: Yes, as with all Zircon tools, the StudSensor A100 needs to calibrate to the surface before scanning. Calibrating the tool 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 A100 on, all the icons on the screen and the SpotLite Pointing System will briefly flash and the tool will beep. After this occurs, the screen will then clear and, depending on the selected mode, the words "StudScan" or "DeepScan" will remain, indicating that calibration has occurred and the tool is ready to begin scanning. It is important not to move the tool or begin scanning until the calibration process has taken place for the most accurate results.

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 StudSensor A100 locate metal studs?

Answer: Yes, the A100 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 and DeepScan Modes the detector will react to metal studs the same as it would for wooden studs. The A100 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.

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

Answer: The tool 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 StudSensor A100 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 and DeepScan 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 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 tool 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. (50 mm) or that the wire may not be live (hot). Always exercise extreme caution when working near electricity.

Question: Does the A100 work on wood paneling and other wood surfaces?

Answer: The A100 is optimized to scan through standard interior sheetrock / drywall (gypsum) construction. This tool 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 A100 work on textured wall surfaces, acoustic ceilings, or wall paper?

Answer: Yes, the A100 will work on textured surfaces and dried wall paper 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 tool to find studs behind carpet?

Answer: No. Zircon tools 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 A100 work on ceramic tile?

Answer: While the StudSensor A100 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.

Question: Does this StudSensor work on lath and plaster?

Answer: No. Due to irregularities in plaster thickness, this tool is not recommended for use on lath and plaster.

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

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

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

Answer: Yes. The A100 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 tool waterproof?

Answer: No. The StudSensor A100 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 A100, 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 StudSensor A100 come with a warranty?

Answer: The StudSensor A100 includes limited one year warranty when fulfilled by and shipped from Amazon.

Stud Scan

We suggest you to use Stud Mode first to find the edges of wood and metal studs up to 3/4 inches (19mm) deep. If Stud Scan mode shows irregular readings or the Signal Strength indicator is weak, the studs might be behind more than ¾ inches (19 mm) of drywall.then switch to Deep Scan mode. This doubles the scanning depth to 1½ inches (38 mm) deep and allows for increased accuracy on deeper targets.

Metal Scan

Use this mode to locate and avoid hazards such as pipes behind walls. Metal Scan mode detects non-ferrous metal such as copper pipe up to 1½ inches (38 mm) deep, and ferrous metal such as rebar, up to 2.36 inches (60 mm) deep. You can differentiate between metal and wood studs through this mode.

First, find the stud in Stud Scan mode. Then, switch to Metal Scan mode, the tool alerts in a pattern as it detects the mental drywall screws in the wood for wooden studs.

AC Wire Scan

In this mode detect live, unshielded AC wires, electrical wires up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep.

For Safety, in all modes, this wall scanner always detect and indicate the Live AC Wire.

Stud Scan Detection

This stud locator has 3 stud scan modes. 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.

Wire Warning Detection

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

Note: WireWarning Detection works in both StudScan / DeepScan / MetalScan Modes. The WireWarning 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:	Does it work thru plaster/wood lathe
Answer:	Hello! Our stud finders work by finding density, and concrete tends to be denser than studs behind it. The density of the concrete will throw off the sensor. Best regards, The Franklin Sensors Team
Question:	Can this detect electrical wires
Answer:	Nope - your only hope there would be to buy (or find a tool rental place that will rent) the $700 Bosch D-Tect 150 terahertz radar unit. That will literally look inside anything short of an aluminum trailer skin and see stuff as deep as six inches..
Question:	Will this work through tile. Need to install grab-bar in shower
Answer:	If you are asking if it will, the answer is probably not. It senses the subtile change in the inductance of its coils produced by the VERY slight change in density of a stud behind a sheet rock wall. The problem with finding rafters is that they are under decking, plus underlayment (probably tarpaper) and THEN the shingles. And neither the shingles nor the tarpaper are particularly uniform. I'm afraid the only tool that will do what you want is the $700 Bosch terahertz radar unit.
Question:	Will this be accurate with metal studs
Answer:	Hello, The T13 is slightly deeper sensing at 1.7" deep while the 710+ senses to 1.6" deep, and the T13 has a pencil caddy. Both have 13 sensors and a 7" LED display. Thank you for your inquiry! Best regards, The Franklin Sensors Team

User questions & answers

Question:	does it detect floor studs under carpet and padding
Answer:	Scan goes 1.5 inches on deep scan most subfloors are 1 inch plus carpet and pad.....my guess is no. Im guessing you need to add floor outlet. In that case look for hvac vents in floor to show orientation of floor joices. Best thing ive done is drill 1/8 inch hole and put long steel wire down through insulation then go in crawl to see if in between floor joices. Ive seen some electricians just drill it where homeowner wants floor outlet and if they hit joice they just drilled it out and installed floorbox to hide mistake. Most stud finders dont do good on flooring
Question:	Does it work on metal studs
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Our walls are 3/4 inch tongue and groove. Will this be able to detect through that
Answer:	The ProSensor 710+ should detect through wood tongue and groove walling material.
Question:	will it detect and show studs behind plaster and lath
Answer:	This unit can detect studs through lath and plaster, but it is not guaranteed as it is on drywall. Because lath and plaster usually is usually thicker and less consistent, it could lead to some inconsistent readings. The multiple sensors and deep sensing capabilities on this stud finder give it a better chance on lath and plaster, but it cannot be guaranteed.

Product features

Metal Scan Detection

The STUD mode relies on density changes to detect, so it cannot be judged whether wood or metal is measured. Therefore, after using the Stud mode to find the subject, then adjust to the Metal mode to verify again. So in this way you can judge whether wood or metal is detected.

AC Wires Detection

Scan up to 2 in. (51mm) deep. For safety, in all modes such as wood stud finder, this wall scanner always detects and indicates the live AC wires. When live AV voltage is detected, the AC warning indicator will illuminate and protect your safety.

Stud & Deep Detection

The stud mode can scan studs behind the wall up to 3⁄4 in. (19 mm) deep.This wall scanner also provides a deeper wall scanning mode for 1.25 in. (38mm) deep studs. Both wood and metal studs can be found in deep mode.

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.

Product features

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.
