Fully Automatic Metal/Voltage/Stud Detector

 No: 32-6991 • Model: FAD-2203

1. General

FAD-2203 is a fully automatic multi detector for metal, electric 
cables and studs. Equipped with a LCD screen. A blue diode 
and buzzer helps you find the object. The user can choose bet-
ween 3 manual modes to find selected objects with different 
warning sounds. It is an ideal tool for professional and DIY use. 
With this you can find metal, electric cables and studs.

2. Screen

1.  Calibration icon
2.  Level indicator with 10 levels
3.  Battery indicator
4.  Auto mode
5.  Metal mode
6.  Vertical stud mode
7.  AC Voltage mode

3. Function

FAD-2203 is easily controlled using two buttons [FUNCTION] 
and [CAL]. When [FUNCTION] is pressed, the modes are 
changed as follows:

ON in Auto mode (

) -> Metal (

) -> 

Stud (

) -> Electric cables (

) -> OFF.

Shutting off

Press and hold [CAL] and then press [FUNCTION] until the 
device shuts off. 

3.1 Auto mode

Lay the detector on the felt pads (with the bottom against the 
surface to be scanned) before you begin detecting.
Press [FUNCTION] to turn the device on. All segments will 
appear on the LCD screen for a second. 
The device then calibrates automatically as follows:
 When the calibration is completed, the 

 icon will appear. 

The detector is now ready to be used in Auto mode. If two 
different objects are found at the same time the stronger 
signal with a clear icon is shown while the weaker signal is 
indicated by a blinking icon.
Move the detector over the area to be scanned.
When the discovered object is found, all the display bars light 
up, the buzzer sounds and the blue diode lights up.

3.2 Manual mode

Start in the manual mode if you know what you’re looking for, 
that’s to say, looking for a specific object (metal, live wire or woo-
den stud). 

Note!

 Lay the detector on the felt pads (with the bottom 

against the surface to be scanned) before you begin detecting.

3.2.1 Metal

Press the [FUNCTION] button until the 

 icon appears on the  

display. The power bars are scanning during the calibration. When 
the calibration is finished it is ready to use. Move the detector over 
the area to be scanned. When the metal object is found, the bars 
light up, buzzer sounds and the blue diode lights up.

3.2.2 Studs

Press the [FUNCTION] button until the 

 icon appears on the  

display. The power bars are scanning during the calibration. When 
the calibration is finished the device is ready to use. Move the 
detector over the area to be scanned. When a stud is found, all the 
bars light up, the buzzer sounds and the blue diode lights up.

3.2.3 Electric cables

Press the [FUNCTION] button until the 

 icon appears on the 

display. The power bars will scan during the calibration. When the 
calibration is finished the device is ready to use. Move the detec-
tor over the area to be scanned. When a live wire is found, all the 
bars light up, the buzzer sounds and the blue diode lights up.

Note!

 Aim the detector’s yellow line at the surface to be scanned. 

4. Troubleshooting

Fault: 

The detector beeps as soon as it is placed against the 

wall (surface).

Solution:

 

1.  Place the detector against the wall (surface) when it is 

TURNED OFF.

2.  Turn on the detector by pressing the [FUNCTION] button 

three times until the 

 icon appears on the  display.

3.  The detector will now begin calibrating itself for the thickness 

of the wall (the bars on the display will move back and forth).

4.  When the calibration is finished the detector can be 

moved sideways and will beep when it detects a stud in 
the wall that was thicker than at the point of calibration.

If no studs are found, it might be because the detector was 
calibrated directly over a stud, in that case repeat the calibra-
tion procedure at another place.
Always check before scanning * that the felt pads on the stud 
detector are pressed against the surface to be scanned.
* Does not apply when scanning for live wires/cables (see 3.2.3)

5. Specification
