Functional description
Using the locating device BI15, cables, wooden beams or
metal braces to a depth of 19 mm can be located in walls
or floors. The exact position of beams and braces is
detected and shown in the display as edges. The laser
pointer rotates by 180° to show where other beams are
found. For precision, two spirit levels are built into the
device. The adjustment wheels are used to precisely
align the device on uneven surfaces.

Calibration
So that the detection works, the device must first be cal-
ibrated on the surface to be tested.
Dense material and damp or recently painted walls can
influence the calibration.
1. Place the device on the surface to be tested in a po-
sition under which there is no metal or wood.
2. Press and hold the "On" button (8) during the cali-
bration and the subsequent measurement.
– All symbols appear on the display for one second.
– The "WOOD" (14) or "METAL" (12) symbols flash
depending on which material was set beforehand.
– After 3 seconds, a beep is emitted and the
"READY" symbol (10) appears.
The calibration is complete.
Wood detection
3. Press the "WOOD" button (7).
– The "READY" (10) and "WOOD" (14) symbols ap-
pear.
4. Push the device over the surface in a straight line.
– If wood is detected, lines appear in the display.
When near wood, the lines in the middle of the
display move closer to the middle of the display
(see figure on page B - 6).
– If an edge is detected, the "EDGE" symbol (15) ap-
pears and a beep is emitted.

Metal detection
3. Press the "METAL" button (5).
– The "READY" (10) and "METAL" (12) symbols ap-
pear.
4. Push the device over the surface in a straight line.
– If metal is detected, lines appear in the display.
When near metal, the lines in the middle of the
display move closer to the middle of the display
(see figure on page B - 6).
– If an edge is detected, the "EDGE" symbol (15) ap-
pears and a beep is emitted.
AC power detection
AC power detection is always activated. If a live AC cable
is detected, the LED (3) glows and a beep is emitted.
Laser pointer
Press the "Laser" button (6) to switch the laser on/off.
Turn the bulls eye level (2) to rotate the laser pointer in
45° steps.
Switching off
The device switches off as soon as you release the "On"
button (8).
