Product description
The StudSensor A150 is Zircon’s newest center locating electronic stud finder that is sold exclusively on Amazon. The A150 is designed with a smooth, ergonomic rubber grip allowing for a comfortable yet secure hold for any size hand, at any angle. This stud finder uses the most recent technology in density detecting software and circuitry. The scanner has 2 scanning modes to locate the center and edges of wood and metal studs and joists behind walls, floors, and in ceilings up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep. In StudScan Mode, the SS A150 locates the center and edges of shallower wood or metal studs up to 0.75 of an inch (19 mm) deep. Switch over to DeepScan Mode to double the scanning depth to 1.5 inches (38 mm). This stud sensor is programmed with a WireWarning Detection feature that indicates the presence of live unshielded electrical wires up to 2 inches (50 mm) deep when using either stud scanning modes. Finding studs using this center and edge finding tool is simple. To get started, install one brand new 9V alkaline battery (not included). Place the unit flat against the wall and press the Power Button to calibrate the sensor. Once you hear a beep indicating calibration is complete, continue to hold the Power Button and slowly slide the tool across the surface. The Signal Strength Bars will appear on the LCD screen when a stud is detected. As the stud finder detects the edge of a stud, “EDGE” will appear in the LCD screen. Continue to slide the tool along the wall until you hear an audio tone and see both the the patented arrow-shaped SpotLite Pointer as well as “CENTER” on the LCD. These signs indicate the center of the stud has been found. Make sure to note whether the WireWarning Detection is alerting you to live, unshielded AC wiring before drilling into the center of the stud. With the Zircon StudSensor A150, you can safely maneuver through the most complicated of projects with the professional confidence that comes from owning a Zircon.
