5.4 Changing the display mode
en
The display mode can be changed in all scanning modes.
This function changes only the display mode, not the
scanning mode.
To change from the standard display to distance meas-
urement mode, press the "Left" or "Right" button for
more than 2 seconds. The display mode can be changed
again by pressing one of these buttons.
NOTE
Distance measurement mode can be used to measure
the distance between objects. In the illustration shown,
three equally spaced metal objects have been detected
(see section 6.3.1 "Example showing rebars").
The distance scanned (from the starting point of the scan)
is shown in the display below the approximate depth of
the object, e.g. 20.1 cm (7.9 in), as shown in the example.
The three objects detected, which are each a distance of
10 cm (3.9 in) apart, are shown as small rectangles above
the scanning mode.
5.5 "Settings" menu
To enter the "Settings" menu, press the "Menu" button.
To leave the "Settings" menu, press the "Menu" button
again.
The settings selected up to this point will be saved and
the tool then returns to the standard display screen.

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

imum brightness).
5.5.3 Signal tones
In the "Signal tones" menu you can choose whether or not
an audible signal is emitted when an object is detected.
In the default setting, the signal tone is active.
5.5.4 Cut-off time
The time interval before the tool switches itself off auto-
matically when no scan is made or when no button is
pressed can be set in the "Cut-off time" menu. The
default setting is "5 min.".
5.5.5 Default mode

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.
