User manual HILTI PS 30

[. . . ] 5 Status indicator Status area 1 Ferrous metal object 2 Non-ferrous metal object 3 Audible signal off 4 Battery status Shows which status is active Too much interference from the surroundings NOTE All values apply to individual rod-like metal objects positioned at right angles to the direction of movement of the detector and when the surface of the concrete is flat and smooth with no external interference factors. Detection range and accuracy is reduced when measurements are taken on brickwork. Power source Battery life at 20 °C Operating temperature range Automatic cut-out Storage temperature range (dry) Relative air humidity Protection class Weight (including batteries) Dimensions (L x W x H) 4 in) Diameter at least 10 mm (½ in), Pipe wall thickness at least 2 mm ( / in): 5. In addition to the information relevant to safety given in each of the sections of these operating instructions, the following points must be strictly observed at all times. [. . . ] D) Although the tool is protected to prevent entry of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time before being put away in its transport container. E) Check to ensure that all symbols are visible when the tool is switched on. B) Do not allow the batteries to overheat and do not expose them to fire. This may cause them to overheat and present a risk of personal injury (burns). F) Do not attempt to open the batteries and do not subject them to excessive mechanical stress. For accurate results, allow the tool to acclimatize itself to the ambient conditions before switching it on if it has previously been exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. When the tool is already switched on, press the on/off button: The tool switches off. NOTE If the tool is not used or an error message is displayed, it switches itself off automatically after five minutes. If the audible signal is already activated it can be deactivated by pressing the on/off button again. The new settings are shown in the display and the tool is ready for use. NOTE Take care to observe correct polarity (see symbols in battery compartment). Check to ensure that the battery compartment cover is closed correctly. After carrying out a brief self-test, the tool begins to calibrate itself automatically. While the tool is calibrating itself, hold it in the air at least 30 cm (12 in) away from any metal objects and away from the surface on which you are working. 1 Preparing the tool for use CAUTION Always drill at a safe distance from objects you have detected. Before switching the tool on, check that it is not in contact with anything and is clear of the working surface or metal objects. 2 Working with the tool Check that the tool makes full contact with the surface you wish to scan. Bring the tool slowly and carefully into contact with the surface to be scanned. In order to achieve best results, the tool should be used with a sweeping motion (extended horizontal and vertical, back and forward movements over the object). Switch the tool on and hold it at least 30 cm (12 in) away from any metal objects and away from the surface on which you are working. Carefully bring the tool into contact with the surface to be scanned and then begin to move it sideways. When the tool approaches a ferrous metal object (a rebar), the "ferrous metal" symbol begins to blink, the status LEDs light red and the amplitude of the signal strength indicator rises and reaches its maximum when the tool is positioned over the center of the object. [. . . ] After checking and adjustment, a calibration sticker applied to the tool and a calibration certificate provide written verification that the tool operates in accordance with the manufacturer's specification. Calibration certificates are always required by companies certified according to ISO 900x. Your local Hilti Center or representative will be pleased to provide further information. Switch the tool off and then hold it at least 30 cm (12 in) away from any metal objects and away from the surface on which you are working before switching it on again. [. . . ]
