4.2 Erstkalibrierung
For accurate results, the device must be calibrated before each use or when changing scanning locations.
- Drücken Sie die Ein-/Aus-Taste, um das Gerät einzuschalten.
- Place the device flat against the wall surface where you intend to scan, ensuring there are no known studs, metal, or wires in that specific spot.
- Press and hold the Mode Selection button (or the dedicated calibration button if present, refer to display for indication) until the calibration process is complete (usually indicated by a beep or a stable display reading).
- The device is now calibrated and ready for use.
5. Bedienungsanleitung
The LiebeWH HW-QB6 offers multiple detection modes for various materials. Select the appropriate mode for your task.
5.1 Selecting a Detection Mode
Press the Mode Selection button to cycle through the available modes. The selected mode will be indicated on the LCD display.
- Holzständer-Scan: For locating wood studs and joists.
- Metallscan: For detecting metal objects such as rebar, pipes, and metal conduit.
- AC-Kabelscan: For identifying live unshielded AC electrical wires.
5.2 Scanvorgang
- Ensure the device is calibrated as described in Section 4.2.
- Legen Sie das Gerät flach an die Wandoberfläche.
- Slowly slide the device horizontally across the surface. Maintain constant contact with the wall.
- Achten Sie auf das LCD-Display, um Hinweise auf erkannte Objekte zu erhalten.
- When an object is detected, the signal strength indicator will increase, and an audible alert may sound. The "CENTER" indicator will illuminate when the device is directly over the center of the object.
- Mark the edges and center of the detected object for accurate positioning.

5.3 Interpreting the LCD Display
- Signalstärkebalken: Zeigt die Nähe zu einem erkannten Objekt an. Mehr Balken bedeuten größere Nähe.
- CENTER Indicator: Appears when the device is directly over the center of a stud or object.
- Modussymbol: Displays the currently selected detection mode (e.g., wood icon, metal icon, AC lightning bolt icon).
- Batterieanzeige: Shows the current battery level. Replace batteries when low.
- Depth Indication (if applicable): Some models may show an approximate depth. Refer to the specific icons on your display.
6. Wartung
- Reinigung: Wischen Sie das Gerät mit einem weichen, damp Tuch. Keine Scheuer- oder Lösungsmittel verwenden.
- Lagerung: Bewahren Sie das Gerät an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort, vor direkter Sonneneinstrahlung und extremen Temperaturen geschützt auf. Bei längerer Lagerung sollte der Akku entfernt werden, um ein Auslaufen zu verhindern.
- Batteriewechsel: Tauschen Sie die 9V-Batterie aus, sobald die Anzeige für niedrigen Batteriestand auf dem LCD-Display erscheint.
7. Fehlerbehebung
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Gerät lässt sich nicht einschalten. | Batterie defekt oder falsch eingebaut. | Batteriepolarität prüfen. Durch eine neue 9-V-Batterie ersetzen. |
| Ungenaue oder widersprüchliche Messwerte. | Improper calibration; device not flat against wall; wall material too thick/dense; presence of moisture. | Recalibrate the device. Ensure constant, flat contact. Test on a different wall section. Avoid scanning wet areas. |
| Die Erkennung von Wechselstromleitungen ist unzuverlässig. | Wires are shielded; wires are too deep; low battery. | AC detection works best for unshielded, live wires. Ensure battery is fresh. Scan slowly. |
| No detection in Wood/Metal mode. | No objects present; object too deep; incorrect mode selected. | Ensure correct mode is selected. Scan slowly and thoroughly. Consider wall thickness limitations. |
