Page 2: Installing The Battery
Caution: 1. The MetalliScanner® metal finder will only locate metal objects. Nonmetallic objects such as wood studs and ceramic or PVC pipe cannot be located with this product. 2. Avoid wearing any jewelry, including watches, when using this product. The metal may cause inaccurate results. -
Page 3: Selecting The Operating Mode
The scanning wheel consists of 31 spokes with a plus or minus sign in the center. The wheel rotates clockwise and the plus sign is displayed when moving towards a target of the selected metal; the wheel rotates counter-clockwise and the minus sign is displayed when moving away from a target of the selected metal. - Page 4 Pre-scanning the Target Area 1. Before scanning, wipe the area to be scanned clean of sand and pebbles. 2. If the scanning surface is fairly rough, place a very thin piece of cardboard between the surface and the unit. The thickness of the cardboard must be subtracted from the depth reading to determine the actual depth to the target when using this procedure.
- Page 5 metal type. NOTE: 1. Cross-hairs on the top and front of the unit show where sensitivity is maximum. 2. If the tool is close to a large metal object or surface, it may indicate the opposite metal type. 3. The MetalliScanner® metal finder is designed to operate at approximately 70°F. The sensitivity decreases slightly at higher temperatures but is not noticeably affected at lower temperatures.
- Page 6 Prior to calibration the numbers next to the depth bar are not displayed. Calibrate the tool by pressing and releasing the calibration switch. While the unit is calibrating, every other spoke on the scanning wheel and all the depth bars are displayed momentarily and the unit makes a high-pitched tone once (Figure 7).

NOTES: 1. The depth reading is only accurate after the unit has been properly calibrated (see preceding section). 2. The depth readings are specifically tuned for measuring 1/2 inch copper pipe or #4 rebar. For any other metal object, the direct reading of the MetalliScanner® metal finder will be less precise. For most sizes of rebar (other than #4), the depth reading is accurate to ±1 inch. - Page 8 for the temperature to stabilize before operating if the unit has been moved from one area to another where there is a 5°F change or greater (ex. from an air-conditioned building outside on a warm day). 6. For maximum accuracy, only use the device on fully cured concrete. CAUTION: 1.
