Zircon MultiScanner Pro SL — Wall Scanner Manual
Introduction
The Wall Scanner and MultiScanner® scanners use four different scanning modes to detect studs, metal, and hot unshielded AC wiring up to 11⁄2 in. (38 mm) deep behind walls, floors, and ceilings. It also detects rebar in concrete. Wall Scanner and MultiScanner® Pro SL also features the SpotLite® Pointing System, which automatically displays a beam of light over the edge of a stud or near metal/AC.

MODE SELECTION
- When looking for studs, always start with the scanner in Stud Scan mode, which scans through surfaces up to 3 ⁄ 4 inch thick.
- DeepScan ® mode should only be selected if you know the surface is built-up and thicker than normal construction. You should always scan the area in Stud Scan mode first, to verify that DeepScan is needed. DeepScan is for depths between 3 ⁄ inch and 1 1 ⁄ 4 2 inches.
- When scanning for metal pipes or rebar, select Metal Scan mode.
- When scanning for electrical wires, select AC Scan mode.
IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
- Tool Position. For proper use, always place scanner flat against the surface before turning on power.
- Power. Depress and hold in the power button continuously while in use.
- Calibration. Place unit flat on wall. Press and hold the power button. Do not move the unit until calibration is complete (1-2 seconds). When calibration is complete, the TruCal ® indicator will appear on the screen.
- Operation. Move the unit slowly, while keeping it flat against the wall. Do not rock, tilt, or lift it.
- If you calibrate over a stud in DeepScan mode, you probably will not detect any studs. Move the unit a few inches right or left, release the power button, and start over.
SCANNING IN STUD SCAN OR DEEPSCAN® MODE
After calibrating (see number 2 ), continue to hold the power button and slowly slide the unit across the surface. When full arrow appears on the LCD and steady tone sounds, you have located the edge of the stud. Mark this spot (see illustrations below). On the Wall Scanner and Pro SL version, the SpotLite® Pointing System will also shine a beam of light at the stud edge.
Continue holding power button in and scan beyond the marked spot until arrow bars disappear.
Without releasing power button, slide unit in reverse direciton to locate the other edge of stud. Mark this second spot. Middle of stud is centered between the two marks.
Note: DeepScan may report other things besides studs. Please see numbers 5 and 7
Select mode. After calibrating (see number 2 ), continue to hold the power button and slowly slide the unit across the surface. Mark the spot where the display bars peak and a steady tone sounds. On the Wall Scanner and Pro SL model the SpotLite will also shine a beam of light. Continue in the same direction until display bars disappear.
Reverse direction and mark the spot where the display bars peak from that direction. The midpoint of the two marks is the approximate center of the object.
In Metal Scan mode, if you calibrate directly over metal, you probably will not detect any metal. Move the unit a few inches right or left, release the power button, and start over.
In AC Scan mode, if you calibrate over AC voltage, the unit will automatically recalibrate when you move it. automatically recalibrate when you move it.
AC WireWarning™
For your safety AC WireWarning™ works continuously in all modes. When AC voltage is detected, the AC Alert warning icon will be displayed on the screen.
Wires deeper than 2 in. (51 mm), in conduit, or behind plywood shearwall may not be detected. Use extreme caution under these circumstances or whenever hot AC wires are present. Always turn off power when working near electrical wires.
OPERATING CAUTIONS
Depending on the proximity of electrical wiring or pipes to the wall surface, the Wall Scanner may detect them in the same manner as studs, especially in DeepScan mode. Caution should always be used when nailing, sawing, or drilling into walls, floors, and ceilings that may contain these items. Because of its increased sensitivity, DeepScan mode may also detect other things in walls that are not studs.
To avoid surprises, remember that studs or joists are normally spaced 16 in.
(406 mm) or 24 in. (610 mm) apart and are 11⁄2 in. (38 mm) in width. Anything closer together or a different width may not be a stud, joist, or firebreak. Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires.
Working With Different Materials
- Wallpaper: The Wall Scanner functions normally on walls covered with wallpaper or fabric, unless the materials are metallic foil, contain metallic fibers, or are still wet after application.
- Lath & plaster: Due to irregularities in plaster thickness, it is difficult for the Wall Scanner to locate studs in Stud Scan mode. Change to Metal mode to locate nail heads holding laths to studs. If plaster has metal mesh reinforcement, the Wall Scanner will be unable to detect anything through that material.
- Textured walls or acoustic ceilings: When scanning a ceiling or wall with an uneven surface, place thin cardboard on ceiling or wall and scan over the cardboard using DeepScan mode. Calibrate with cardboard in place.
- Wood flooring, subflooring, or gypsum drywall over plywood sheathing: use DeepScan mode.
- Wall Scanner cannot scan for wood studs and joists through ceramic floor tile or carpeting and pad.
- In problem situations, try using Metal Scan to locate nails or drywall screws that line up vertically where a stud is positioned.
Note: Sensing depth and accuracy can vary due to moisture content of materials, wall texture, and paint.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
Press battery door release down with your finger or a coin and remove door.
Connect 9-V battery to cable and place inside.
Replace battery door and snap shut. Battery will last approximately 2 years under normal conditions.

or pipes to the wall surface, the scanner may
detect them in the same manner as studs. Caution
should always be used when nailing, cutting, or
drilling in walls, floors, and ceilings that may contain
these items.
To avoid surprises, remember that studs or joists are
normally spaced 16 in. (406 mm) or 24 in. (610 mm)
apart and are 1

⁄
in. (38 mm) in width. Anything

closer together or a different width may not be a
stud, joist, or firebreak. Always turn off the power
when working near electrical wires.
WORKING WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS
Wallpaper: TriScanner Pro SL functions normally on
walls covered with wallpaper or fabric, unless the
materials are metallic foil, contain metallic fibers, or
are still wet after application.
Textured Ceilings: When scanning on an uneven
surface, place thin cardboard on ceiling and scan over
the cardboard. Calibrate with cardboard in place.
Note: TriScanner Pro SL cannot scan through
carpeting and pad or, in most cases, lath and plaster.
If you are having difficulty scanning through any of
these or other materials, use the Metal mode to
locate nails in the stud or joist. Try to locate several
nails to get a better idea of how the stud is oriented.
