Voltage and Current Multi-Purpose Detector Habotest MY6238 — handheld tester for AC/DC voltage and current measurement

Wire Detector 4-in-1 Habotest MY6238 is a handheld detector designed to locate hidden objects in walls, floors and ceilings. The compact device detects metal, wood, AC wiring and cavities and displays results on a 43 x 33 mm LCD screen. Made of durable ABS plastic, the detector is powered by a 9V (6F22) battery (not included) and is intended for installation, maintenance and renovation tasks where avoiding concealed hazards is important.

Advantages

The Habotest MY6238 offers four detection modes—metal, wood, AC and cavity—so you can identify different types of hidden objects with one instrument. It provides audible and visual alerts when an object is detected and a five-step signal intensity that helps estimate distance to the target. The device is compact (approx. 145 x 55 x 33 mm), has non-slip elements for a secure grip and a clear LCD for easy result reading.

How to use

Install a 9V (6F22) battery in the compartment, switch the device on and choose the required detection mode (metal, wood, AC or cavity) using the function buttons. Hold the detector flat against the surface to be scanned and slowly move it across the area. Observe the LCD and listen for audible signals; the five-step intensity indicator shows proximity to the detected object (stronger signal = closer). When detecting live AC wiring, follow safety precautions and avoid contact with exposed conductors.

Recommendations

Before drilling or cutting, scan the entire intended area in multiple directions to confirm the position of any concealed objects. Replace the battery when display or sound signals weaken. Use the detector on dry surfaces and keep it clean and stored in its case to maintain accuracy.
