BI15 Wall Scanner
Before drilling into a wall during renovation or remodeling, you should make sure there are no pipes inside it. For example, damage to water pipes can be costly and difficult to repair. The BI15 location detector shows you where lines, beams, and live cables are located within the wall.
The BI15 wall scanner can detect the location of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, wooden substructures, and live wires hidden beneath surfaces such as plaster, stucco, or concrete. You can determine the exact location of beams and support posts by looking at the edges displayed on the screen.
With the selectable “Metal” or “Wood” modes, you can optimally adjust your device to the materials present and thus achieve more accurate results. To visualize the further course of localized substructures—such as wooden studs, metal strips, or pipes—the integrated laser leveling aid, which can be rotated within a 180° radius, is used.
The BI15 can also be adjusted for different surface textures using two independent adjustment dials. This allows you to compensate for irregularities in the wall at the measurement point, for example, ensuring precise alignment with the laser leveling assistance provided by the two built-in spirit levels.
