located an object.
h) The warnings shown in the display must always
be observed.
i) Due to the scanning principle employed, the res-
ults of the scan may be negatively affected by
certain ambient conditions. These include, e.g.
proximity to appliances that generate powerful
magnetic or electromagnetic fields, dampness,
construction materials containing metal, alu-
minium foil-backed insulation, multiple layers,
materials with cavities or electrically conduct-
ive wall coverings or tiles. Accordingly, other
sources of information (e.g. plans of the build-
ing) should also be consulted before beginning
drilling, sawing or grinding in the area scanned.
j) Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not use the tool where there is a
risk of fire or explosion.
k) Make sure that the display area can be easily
read (e.g. do not touch the display area with the
fingers, keep the display area clean).
l) Do not use the tool if it is defective.
m) Always keep the detection area clean.
n) Always check how the tool is set before using
it.
o) Operation of the tool in the proximity of military
installations, airports or astronomical facilities
is not permissible unless prior permission has
been obtained.
4.2 Proper organization of the workplace
a) Avoid unfavorable body positions when working
from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe
stance and stay in balance at all times.
b) When the tool is brought into a warm environ-
ment from very cold conditions, or vice-versa,
allow it to become acclimatized before use.
c) Use the tool only within its specified limits.
d) Observe the accident prevention regulations ap-
plicable in your country.
4.3 Electromagnetic compatibility
The tool complies with the requirements of EN
302435. Accordingly, permission must be obtained
prior to operating this tool, for example, in hospitals,
atomic power stations or in the proximity of airports
or mobile phone relay stations.
4.4 General safety instructions

d) Take care to ensure that the service cover on
the tool is always securely closed. The service
cover may be opened only at a Hilti Service
Center.
e) The user must check the accuracy of the tool
after it has been dropped or subjected to other
mechanical stresses.
f) Although the tool is designed for the tough con-
ditions of jobsite use, as with other measuring
instruments it should be treated with care.
g) Although the tool is protected to prevent entry
of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time
before being put away in its transport container.
h) Check the accuracy of the tool before using it
for detection or measurement.
4.5 Electrical safety
a) Keep the batteries out of reach of children.
b) Remove the batteries from the tool if it is to
remain unused for some time. The batteries will
self-discharge and may begin to corrode if stored
for a long period.
c) Always replace all batteries at the same time. Use
only batteries of the same capacity and from the
same manufacturer.
d) Do not allow the batteries to overheat and do not
expose them to fire. The batteries may explode
or release toxic substances.
e) Do not charge the batteries.
f) Do not solder the batteries into the tool.
g) Do not discharge the batteries by short-
circuiting. This may cause them to overheat and

scanning errors when the tool is used on thin concrete
walls.
5.3.3 Floor heating
The “Floor heating” scanning mode is particularly
suitable for detecting metal, metal composite and
water-filled plastic pipes or electric cables under a
layer of screed. The maximum detection depth is
8 cm (3.2 in).
NOTE
Empty plastic pipes will not be found.
5.3.4 Drywall
The “Drywall” scanning mode can be used to find
wood beams, metal framing parts, pipes containing
water and electric cables in drywall partitions. The
maximum detection depth is 8 cm (3.2 in).
NOTE
Empty plastic pipes will not be found.
5.3.5 Hollow brick
“Hollow brick” mode is suitable for use on masonry
containing a large number of cavities. In this mode,
metal objects, water-filled plastic pipes and live elec-
tric cables will be detected. The maximum detection
depth is 8 cm (3.2 in).

6. Operation
6.1 Using the tool 4
The tool scans in direction “A” to the depth indicated
in the display. Scanning takes place only while the tool
is being moved in direction “B” and so long as the tool
is moved a distance of at least 10 cm (3.9 in). Always
move the tool in a straight line over the area to be
scanned, applying light and even pressure so that the
wheels remain securely in contact with the surface.
Objects that differ from the material being scanned
will be detected. The display shows the position of
the object, its approximate depth and, when possible,
the object category. Optimum results will be achieved
when the scan has a length of at least 40 cm (15.7 in)
and the tool is moved slowly over the surface to be
scanned. Due to the operating principle employed,
the upper edges of objects that lie transversely to the
scanning direction will be reliably detected.
Accordingly, always scan the area crosswise (i.e. in
two scans perpendicular to each other) in order to
avoid errors due to scanning along the length of an
object.
NOTE
When several objects are positioned one above the
other in the material being scanned, the object closest
to the surface will be shown in the display. The image
of the object shown in the display may differ from
the actual characteristics of the object concerned. In
particular, very thin objects will be shown thicker
than they actually are. Large, cylindrical objects (e.g.
plastic objects or water pipes) shown in the display
may appear narrower than they actually are.
6.2 Scanning
1. Switch the tool on.
The display shows the standard screen.
Select the scanning mode that suits the material
to be scanned.
2. Place the tool on the surface to be scanned and
move it in the required direction (see section 6.1
“Using the tool”).
The result of the scan will be shown in the display
after the tool has been moved a distance of at
least 10 cm (3.9 in).
3. In order to obtain correct results, move the tool
slowly over the area to be scanned.
NOTE If the tool is lifted away from the surface
while making the scan, the most recent reading
is shown in the display. The word “Hold” appears
in the sensor area of the display. The scan re-
starts when the tool is brought back into contact
with surface and moved again or the “Measure”
button is pressed.
NOTE The approximate depth and the object
material category shown in the display refer to
the object shown in black in the sensor area of
the screen.
The status LED lights red when an object is within
the sensor area and lights green when no object
is detected. When the status LED blinks red, a
live cable is very probably within the sensor area.
If an object is present below the sensor it is
shown in the sensor area of the display. Depend-
ing on the size and depth of the object detected,
the object category may also be shown. The ap-
proximate depth to the upper edge of the object
detected is shown in the status line or can be
read from the scale at the side of the display.

6.2.1 Locating objects
1. A single scan of the area is sufficient for initial
location of an object.
2. If no object is found, repeat the scan at right
angles to the direction of the original scan (see
section. 6.1 “Using the tool”).
3. If you wish to locate an object exactly and mark
its position, simply move the tool in the reverse
direction back across the area already scanned.
4. If an object appears in the display immediately
below the center line, as shown in illustration A,
the position of the object can be marked on the
surface at the upper marking notch.
NOTE However, this mark will be accurate only
when the object runs exactly perpendicular to the
direction of scan as the sensor area lies slightly
below the marking notch.
5. To mark the position more exactly, move the tool
to the left or right until the object detected is
shown at the edge of the display.
6. Mark the position of the detected object by mak-
ing a mark beside the right or left marking notch
(see illustration B).
NOTE The object detected lies at the point of in-
tersection of the upper and side marking notches.
6.3 Examples of scan results
NOTE
In the following examples, the signal tone is switched
on.
6.3.1 Steel reinforcing bars
A steel object, e.g. a steel rebar, is present in the
sensor area. To the left and right of this are other
objects which are outside the sensor area. The depth
of the object is approx. 8 cm (3.1 in). The tool emits
a signal tone.
NOTE
Best scanning results will be obtained when the tool
is moved at right angles to the longitudinal rebars,
as described above. Mark the positions of the rebars
found and then shift the tool to the adjoining are above
or below and repeat the scan in order to verify the
position of the rebars and the direction in which they
run. To locate the transverse rebars, pivot the tool
through 90° and scan between the already detected
longitudinal rebars in order to avoid scanning along
a longitudinal rebar.
6.3.2 Copper pipes
A non-ferrous metal object, e.g. a copper pipe, is
within the sensor area. It lies at a depth of approx.
4 cm (1.6 in). The tool emits a signal tone.

6.3.3 Plastic or wooden objects
A non-metallic object is within the sensor area. The
object is made of plastic or wood (or is a cavity) and
lies close to the surface. The tool emits a signal tone.
6.3.4 Live electric cables
NOTE
Depending on the size and depth of the object, it is not
always possible to determine without doubt whether
it is live (i.e. carrying electricity).
NOTE
When scanning, do not lay your hands on the surface
of the material.
A live metallic object, e.g. an electric cable, is within
the sensor area. It lies at a depth of approx. 1.5 cm
(0.6 in). The tool emits a warning signal tone for “live
cables” as soon as the electric cable is detected by
the sensor.
6.3.5 Objects with a large surface area
A metal object with a large surface area, e.g. a metal
plate, is within the sensor area. It lies at a depth of
approx. 2 cm (0.8 in). The tool emits a signal tone.
6.3.6 Unclear signals
If a large number of objects are indicated in the
standard display area, there can be two reasons for
this.
1. The wall probably contains a large number of
cavities (hollow brick).
Switch to “Hollow brick” mode. Most of the cavities
will then no longer be shown in the display.
If too many objects are still shown, several scans
must be made at different heights and the position of
the objects detected marked on the wall.
Offset marks tend to indicate cavities while marks in
a line tend to indicate an object.
en
24
2. The scan has been made longitudinally, i.e. along
the length of an object. In this case, move the tool up
or down and repeat the scan (see fig. 6 on the cover
pages).
7. Care and maintenance
7.1 Cleaning and drying
1. Use only a clean, soft cloth for cleaning. If
necessary, moisten the cloth slightly with pure
alcohol or a little water.
NOTE Do not use any other liquids as these may
damage the plastic components.
2. The temperature limits for storage of your equip-
ment must be observed, especially in winter /
summer.
7.2 Storage
Put the tool into storage only when dry. Please ob-
serve the applicable temperature limits when storing
the tool.
Check the accuracy of the equipment before it is used
after a long period of storage.
Remove the batteries from the tool before storing it
for a long period. Leaking batteries may damage the
tool.
7.3 Transport
Use the Hilti toolbox or equivalent packaging when
transporting the tool.
CAUTION
Always remove the batteries before shipping the
tool.
7.4 Hilti Calibration Service
We recommend that the tool is checked by the Hilti
Calibration Service at regular intervals in order to
verify its reliability in accordance with standards and
legal requirements.
Use can be made of the Hilti Calibration Service
at any time, but checking at least once a year is
recommended.
The Calibration Service provides confirmation that the
tool is in conformance, on the day it is tested, with
the specifications given in the operating instructions.
After checking, a calibration sticker applied to the tool
and a calibration certificate provide written verification
that the tool is operating in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specification.
Calibration certificates are always required by com-
panies certified according to ISO 900x.
Your local Hilti Center or representative will be pleased
to provide further information.

9. Disposal
Most of the materials from which Hilti tools or appliances are manufactured can be recycled. The materials must
be correctly separated before they can be recycled. In many countries, Hilti has already made arrangements
for taking back old tools or appliances for recycling. Ask Hilti Customer Service or your Hilti representative for
further information.
For EC countries only
Disposal of electrical appliances together with household waste is not permissible.
In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment
and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical appliances that have reached
the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible
recycling facility.

10. Manufacturer’s warranty
Hilti warrants that the tool supplied is free of defects
in material and workmanship. This warranty is valid
so long as the tool is operated and handled correctly,
cleaned and serviced properly and in accordance with
the Hilti Operating Instructions, and the technical
system is maintained. This means that only original
Hilti consumables, components and spare parts may
be used in the tool.
This warranty provides the free-of-charge repair or
replacement of defective parts only over the entire
lifespan of the tool. Parts requiring repair or replace-
ment as a result of normal wear and tear are not
covered by this warranty.
Additional claims are excluded, unless stringent na-
tional rules prohibit such exclusion. In particular,
Hilti is not obligated for direct, indirect, incidental
or consequential damages, losses or expenses in
connection with, or by reason of, the use of, or
inability to use the tool for any purpose. Implied
warranties of merchantability or fitness for a par-
ticular purpose are specifically excluded.
For repair or replacement, send the tool or related
parts immediately upon discovery of the defect to
the address of the local Hilti marketing organization
provided.
This constitutes Hilti’s entire obligation with regard
to warranty and supersedes all prior or contempor-
aneous comments and oral or written agreements
concerning warranties.
