before drilling begins. Certain materials or structures may block the electric field of a
dangerously live cable and render the voltage detector ineffective. Only cables that are live at
the time of scanning may be detected with the voltage detector.
It is recommended to test the voltage detector on a known cable before scanning structures to
familiarize oneself to the response and performance of the voltage detector. Construction
materials often reduce the effective range of the voltage detector compared to the range in air.
ATTENTION
: Risk of property damage
When scanning a structure for pipes with the device, notice that the effective range of the metal
detector is limited, and scanning should be done from both sides of the drilled structure before
drilling begins. Only metallic pipes may be detected with the metal detector.
It is recommended to test the metal detector on a known, exposed structure before scanning
hidden structures to familiarize oneself to the response and performance of the metal detector.

Objects that may decrease locating accuracy
ATTENTION
: Risk of locating error due to electromagnetic conditions
Large metallic objects, radio transmitters or industrial equipment may degrade locating
accuracy or may prevent locating completely. Before attempting to locate a drill hole, take care
that there are no large metallic objects at or near the intended drill hole. Large metallic objects
include radiators, sheet metal, foil, and wire mesh among other things. Shut down or move any
