Zircon StudSensor A100: Wall Scanner and Stud Finder with Wire Warning Detection

Zircon's newest edge locating electronic stud finder, the StudSensor A100, is exclusively available on Amazon. Designed with a smooth, ergonomic rubber grip, the A100 ensures a comfortable and secure hold for any size hand, at any angle. This stud finder utilizes the latest technology in density detecting software and circuitry, offering two scanning modes to locate the edges of wood and metal studs and joists behind walls, floors, and ceilings up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep.

In StudScan Mode, the A100 can detect the edges of shallower wood or metal studs up to 0.75 inches (19 mm) deep. Switching to DeepScan Mode doubles the scanning depth to 1.5 inches (38 mm). The stud sensor also features a WireWarning Detection function, which indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wires up to 2 inches (50 mm) deep when using either scanning mode.

Using this edge finding tool is straightforward. First, install a new 9V alkaline battery (not included) and place the unit flat against the wall. Press the Power Button to calibrate the sensor, and once the calibration is complete, continue holding the Power Button while slowly sliding the tool across the surface. The easy-to-read LCD will alert you as the stud detector approaches the edge of the stud in both scanning modes. When the edge is detected, the patented arrow-shaped SpotLite Pointer will shine, the translucent base will illuminate, and an audio tone will sound.

To mark the stud's location, do not drill at the first detected edge. Instead, mark the spot in the "V" marker groove at the head of the tool and continue past the stud. Repeat the process in the opposite direction and mark the opposite edge of the stud. The center of the stud is midway between the two marks. Before drilling between the two marks, ensure that the WireWarning Detection is not alerting you to the presence of live, unshielded AC wiring.

With the Zircon StudSensor A100, you can confidently navigate through even the most complex projects, thanks to its reliable performance and safety features. The patented "Over the Stud" Indicator and SpotLite Pointing System ensure trustworthy results, while the ergonomic grip allows a comfortable hold on the tool for any size hand, at any angle.
