When performing installation operations withThe operated structures have a risk of damaging the internal wiring. Cable routes, communication networks and even pipelines are quite common stuffing of walls and ceilings in apartment houses and public buildings. Therefore, you should not rush to create holes or perform other kinds of processing in structures that potentially can contain engineering channels. The metal detector, which by means of sensors detects foreign inclusions in the niche of building structures, will help to protect against possible wiring disruptions.
This type of instrument refers to measuringdevices used in construction, household and manufacturing. Its main function is to find hidden wiring in the wall, flooring, ceiling niches and other structures. Since speech in most cases is about detecting metal elements conducting a current, such detectors can be considered primarily as an electrician tool, which can be used in installation works. Moreover, multifunctional devices of this type also allow you to determine moisture indicators and noise level in the area where electrical wiring is used. Such a survey, in particular, helps to identify the causes of short circuits in the walls.
Отдельно стоит отметить разнообразие материалов, which can analyze the detector. That is, not the target metal components of the wiring, but rather, from which the base of the structure is formed. It can be not only concrete with a brick, but also wood, plastic and the same metal. For an accurate survey, you should correctly approach the choice of the instrument, since the metal detector and the concealed wiring are presented in the market in a large assortment. Models differ both in terms of functionality and in terms of their main performance indicators.
Модели начального уровня предназначены для perform simple household tasks in the private sector. For example, if you need to drill a hole for laying the same pipeline, it would not be superfluous to initially scan the wall for the presence of electrical wires. Such models are designed to work with thin walls and partitions, so when large-scale events with the alteration of massive structures, it is better not to use household metal detectors, prices for which, however, are quite attractive - about 3 thousand rubles. A professional scanner of this type can cost 20-25 thousand, but its functionality is much wider. As practice shows, representatives of high-end detectors are able to detect metal parts in the walls at a depth of about 50 cm. At the same time, the device detects steel rods at the level of 80 mm.
Metal is different, it differs inquality characteristics, and may also have special operational properties. For example, in the same wiring, it is important to take into account the magnetization of the material. There are devices that support the function of such an indication, but in household models, as a rule, this option is not available.
Также существуют и специальные детекторы, allowing to find rebar. Such a locator not only notifies the user about the presence of the target object in the wall, but also determines the size of the rod in the form of a diameter and the depth of its location. But mostly builders use a universal metal detector, which with equal efficiency can detect nails, electrical wires, fittings, pipes, etc. in the walls.
The device belongs to the universal and appliesusers from different areas - from professional organizations to households. In general, device owners report satisfactory performance in terms of accuracy of analysis. The model works with copper, steel, distinguishes ferrous and non-ferrous metals under stress. That is, the device can be considered as a full-fledged electrician's tool, and as an assistant builder. Although the device does not belong to the higher price segment, the manufacturer has implemented many modern options in it.
Users themselves especially appreciate the opportunityautomatic calibration and fast information output on the electronic display. Thanks to the indicators, the operator can use a metal detector to determine the characteristics of the material, which is also important in the process of performing crucial measures.
German measuring instruments occupy hardlynon-leading position in its segment. The GMS 120 model demonstrates a high performance class of metal detectors, which is confirmed by users. As practice shows, the device with high accuracy determines and records the location of metals with different characteristics in both concrete and wooden structures. At the same time, the Bosch metal detector is provided with a simple interface, the convenience of which is emphasized by both professionals and amateurs. True, simplified management does not limit the operational capabilities of the device. The user has several modes of operation that allow you to separately perform the scanning of gypsum panels, metal and conductive elements.
In this case, is consideredmultifunction tester, focused specifically on working with network connections. The device is mainly used by professionals to verify the correctness of connections, breaks and closures, as well as in determining the length of the tracks. Despite the wide possibilities of operation, users note the low weight of the device. Calibration options that provide a metal detector are also appreciated. Reviews show that the high-precision adjustment of the device allows determining the characteristics of the wiring hidden in the wall and other structures with maximum accuracy.
Primarily allocated scopedevices. Defining a common goal will allow you to figure out which segment is best to contact. So, for irregular home use of the device, in order to identify typical wiring, low-end models costing 3-5 thousand are suitable. For work in professional construction, it is better to choose a metal detector with high performance. This applies to the depth of detection of the wiring, and to the ability of the device to determine the characteristics of the detected objects.
If the first generation of building detectorsmetal performed only the general functions of sensors that detect material with specific signs, then modern devices provide extensive survey results. The level of occurrence, the properties of the material and its dimensions are the main data that professional metal detectors provide at the output. Prices for such devices are also rather big - the average modification of the characteristics costs 10-15 thousand. But even entry-level devices are not deprived of functionality. At a minimum, the budget model has several scanning modes that imply the use of special inspection parameters for different objects - from construction fittings to network cables.
