Ermenrich Ping SA30 Stud Detector
EN
Getting started
•
Open the battery compartment cover (10) and insert the battery according to the correct polarity. Close the cover.
•
Press the Power/mode button (8) to turn the device on. The ¾" scan depth indicator (5) lights up as the device enters scanning mode on the
¾" depth mode by default. To change the mode, press the Power/mode button (8).
•
Press and hold the Power/mode button (8) for 3 seconds to turn the device off.
Calibration
Place the device flat against any surface that is free of studs, metal, and electrical cables. Turn the device on and select the desired mode. Press
and hold the Scan button (9) until a beeping sound is heard. This indicates successful calibration. Do not move the device until the calibration is
complete. Wait for 3 seconds after the calibration is complete before using the device.
Calibration must be done every time the device has been turned on for use.
Usage
Choose the desired mode and complete the calibration. Place the device flat against the surface that you want to scan. Press and hold the Scan
button (9) and slowly move the detector across the surface in the direction that you want to scan. When the device detects the edge of a stud,
the signal strength indicators (2, 3) light up. Use the center mark (1) to mark this point with your pencil. Keep moving the device in the same
direction until the signal strength indicators turn out. Start moving the device in the opposite direction and mark the point where the signal
strength indicators light up again. Use the center mark (1) again to mark this point. The two marked points indicate the edges of a stud, and the
midpoint of the marks indicates the center of the stud.
If you are receiving erratic scanning results, it may be a result of humidity, moisture within the wall cavity or drywall, or recently
applied paint or wallpaper that isn't fully dried.
Live wire alert
The device can detect electrical cables at a 2" (51mm) depth when scanning a ¾" (19mm) or 1½" (38mm) depth. When a live AC voltage is
detected, the AC warning indicator (6) will flash red.
Live wire detection will not work beyond a depth of 2" (51mm) from the scanned surface. Conduits encased in concrete, behind
sheer plywood, or metallic wall coverings will cause very limited detection and may not be detected at all.
Low battery indicator
If the battery status indicator (4) starts flashing, immediately change the battery.

Care and maintenance
Do not exclusively rely on the detector to locate items behind scanned surfaces. Do not assume that there is no live cabling inside a wall.
Always disconnect the power, gas, and water before scanning. Calibrate the device regularly. Do not try to disassemble the device on your
own for any reason. For repairs and cleaning of any kind, please contact your local specialized service center. Protect the device from
sudden impact and excessive mechanical force. Store the device in a dry cool place. Only use accessories and spare parts for this device that
comply with the technical specifications. Never attempt to operate a damaged device or a device with damaged electrical parts! If a part of
the device or battery is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. Keep away from children.
Battery safety instructions
Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the intended use. Always replace the whole set of batteries at one
time; taking care not to mix old and new ones, or batteries of different types. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior
to battery installation. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –). Remove batteries from equipment
that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Remove used batteries promptly. Never short-circuit batteries as this may lead to high
temperatures, leakage, or explosion. Never heat batteries in order to revive them. Do not disassemble batteries. Remember to switch off
devices after use. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, to avoid risk of ingestion, suffocation, or poisoning. Utilize used batteries as
prescribed by your country's laws.
