ZIRCON StudSensor L50 Wire & Stud Detector Finder

The ZIRCON StudSensor L50 is a sophisticated and versatile detector designed to locate the edges of wood and metal studs, joists, and even live electrical wiring concealed behind walls, floors, and ceilings. Its intuitive operation and array of smart features make it an essential tool for any DIY enthusiast or professional tradesperson undertaking home improvements, installations, or renovations.

The device features an easy-to-read LCD display that clearly indicates when a stud edge is approached. Its innovative SpotLite Pointer shines an arrow-shaped beam of light directly onto the wall surface, providing a clear and unambiguous visual marker for the precise location of a stud edge, eliminating guesswork. Crucially, the built-in WireWarning detection alerts you to the presence of live, unshielded AC wiring up to 51mm deep, adding a vital layer of safety to your projects by helping to prevent accidental drilling or nailing into electrical cables.

For optimal user comfort and control, the StudSensor L50 boasts a patented pivot pinch grip and contoured shape. This ergonomic design ensures a secure and comfortable hold in either hand and at any angle, reducing fatigue during extended use. A practical 'V' marker groove on the housing allows for more accurate marking of the located stud edge.

The detector offers two specialised scanning modes: StudScan for locating wood or metal stud edges up to 19mm deep, and DeepScan, which doubles the scanning depth to 38mm for deeper investigations. An intelligent 'READY' icon on the display confirms when the device has successfully calibrated itself on the wall surface. Furthermore, Zircon's patented 'over-the-stud' indication alerts you if you accidentally begin scanning directly over a stud, prompting you to start in a new location for an accurate edge detection scan. A 9V battery is required to power the unit (battery not included).
