Product Description

TACKLIFE DMS03 Stud Finder. The tool is used to detect metals (ferrous and non-ferrous metals), wood studs, and “live” AC wires in walls, ceilings and floors. To achieve the best performance of detection, please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly before using the tool.
NOTE:
The detector’s ability to detect objects is affected by the proximity of other equipment that produce strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, and by moisture, the size of objects, metallic building materials, foil-laminated insulation materials and conductive wallpaper.
Maintenance and cleaning
Use a dry, soft cloth to remove dirt from the instrument. Do not use cleaners or solvents.
Do not put any label or nameplate on the sensor area of the detector.
Use the included protective bag to store and carry the detector.

The cotton on the back has prevented the damage caused to the wall, providing you a safe and convenient detecting environment.

LCD backlight displays the detection mode, depth detection, detection signal strength, center point, auto calibration, battery indicator that is easy to see and understand.

Unlike the other stud finder, the TACKLIFE DMS03 has additional function for detecting the center of the stud.
What's more, it has three different indicator light, the function is as bellow:
Green: The detector has calibrated automatically and get read
Yellow: Getting closer to the target
Red: The center of the sensor was located

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.


Step 1 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.
