Laserliner MultiScanner Plus digital multi-detector Ferrous metal Live cable Metal Non-ferrous metal Wood

The Laserliner MultiScanner Plus digital multi-detector locates ferrous and non-ferrous metals, live and dead wiring, and wall beams or joists in non-metallic drywall structures. It detects non-magnetic metals under stone, concrete, screed, wood, ceramic and mineral building materials to depths up to 10 centimetres and magnetic metals up to 12 centimetres. The device shows metal depth and indicates whether detected metal is magnetic or non-magnetic. Live wiring under plaster or wooden panelling can be found to depths of up to 2 centimetres. The instrument provides visual and acoustic signals and an LCD bar display to indicate the position of detected objects, and includes automatic and manual calibration and a permanent voltage warning. The unit powers off automatically after a short period of inactivity to save energy.

Advantages

The MultiScanner Plus offers targeted detection of different material types with clear depth readouts in metal mode and distinction between magnetic and non-magnetic metals. It supports detection of live and non-live cables, wood beams and joists, and provides both acoustic and visual indication for precise localisation. Automatic and manual calibration functions allow adjustment to various surface conditions, and the permanent voltage warning increases user safety. Compact dimensions and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery make the device practical for on-site use.

Suitable for

• Locating ferrous and non-ferrous metal behind walls and floors
• Finding live and non-live electrical cables under plaster or panelling
• Detecting wooden or metal wall beams and joists in drywall structures
• Construction, renovation and DIY inspection tasks

How to use

Switch the detector on and select the appropriate detection mode (metal, live cable, or wood). Calibrate the instrument automatically or manually against the surface to be scanned according to the manufacturers instructions. Move the device slowly and evenly across the surface while observing the LCD bar display and listening for acoustic signals. When the detector indicates a target, mark the position and, if required, verify depth and metal type in metal mode. Allow the device to power off automatically or switch it off manually after use.

Usage recommendations

Ensure proper calibration on each new surface and rescan at different angles if readings are uncertain. Avoid scanning over large metal fixtures or highly conductive surfaces that can mask underlying targets. Keep the device charged and follow safety precautions when locating live wiring; use the permanent voltage warning as an additional safety check before drilling or cutting.
