To use a Franklin sensor stud finder, simply press and hold the button, place it flat against the wall, and move it slowly across the surface. There's no calibration needed.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Power On: Press and hold the power button on the Franklin sensor. This will activate the device.
- Placement: Place the stud finder flat against the wall where you want to locate studs. Ensure good contact with the wall surface.
- Scanning: With the button still held down, slowly slide the stud finder horizontally across the wall.
- Stud Indication: The LEDs on the Franklin sensor will light up to indicate the presence and width of a stud. The array of LEDs provides a visual representation of the stud's location. The center LEDs will illuminate most brightly when centered over the stud.
- Marking (Optional): Once you've identified the edges of the stud with the LEDs, you can mark the wall with a pencil to note the stud's location.
Key Advantages of Franklin Sensors:
- No Calibration: Unlike some stud finders, Franklin Sensors do not require a calibration step.
- Multi-Sense Technology: Their sensors often use multiple sensors to identify studs, reducing false positives.
- Wide Stud Detection: The LED display indicates the width of the stud, providing more information than just the center location.
