If there is a defect in the wall at the point that is being read, the readings may be incorrect. Why are conventional electronic stud finders inaccurate so often?Ĭonventional electronic stud finders rely on a reading from a single point on the wall to determine whether or not a stud is present. There is no guarantee that the ProSensor 710 will work on all lathe and plaster The ProSensor 710 may not work very well, or may not work at all. If a lathe and plaster wall were to have a high degree of inconsistency However, electronic studįinders will only work if the wall surface is reasonably uniform. The ProSensor 710 has been tested on several lathe and plaster walls and it worked successfully on all of them. Does the ProSensor 710 work through lathe and plaster walls? The button and place it on the wall to see location of studs. We have been told again and again that it is the easiest stud finder to operate. Do you have patents on the ProSensor 710?įranklin Sensors has filed numerous US and international patents that cover the ProSensor 710. The ProSensor 710 automatically self-tunes itself Yes the ProSensor 710 can detect metal studs and beams, in addition to wood studs and beams. Can the ProSensor 710 detect metals studs (in addition to wood studs)? The ProSensor 710 was introduced into mass production in 2011Īnd uses the newest electronics that provide the cleanest readings. Most electronic stud finders were designed several years ago using older electronics. How do the electronics in the ProSensor 710 compare to the electronics in other stud finders?
The ProSensor 710 consistently proved to be better at detecting studs through wall textures and ceiling textures. The ProSensor 710 has also been compared to other studįinders on textured surfaces. Heavy textures and has proven to consistently find studs successfully through texturing. It has been tested on both light textures and very Yes the finder can detect studs and beams through textures on walls and ceilings. Does the finder work through textures on walls and ceilings? In contrast, other finders have a specific set of steps that must be followed precisely for them to operate correctly. The ProSensor 710 is easy to use because there is no specific order of operations that a user must follow for it to work correctly.
You can press the button on the ProSensor 710 before you have placed it on a wall or after you have placed it on a wall. Do I press the button before I put the finder on the wall, or after it is on the wall? The ProSensor is available in the United States and internationally. Do you sell the ProSensor 710 outside of the United States? Uses these readings to identify he precise location of studs. The ProSensor 710 has high precision circuitry that Regions that are near a stud are a little bit harder to charge and discharge. The ProSensor charges and discharges its sensor pads thousands of times per second and senses how difficult it is to charge and discharge the How does the ProSensor 710 see into the walls? However, the ProSensor 710 has thirteen sensor plates that allow it to see the wall in thirteen locations at once.īecause it can see several regions of the wall at one time, the ProSensor 710 learns the wall instantly when it is placed on the wall, and is How does it work?Ĭonventional stud finders can only see the wall in one location at a time as a result the user must slide the finder back and forth across the wall Like the people that bought a old home that found out the original owner had a movie theater and used all the old movie posters as insulation in his walls.The ProSensor 710 is the only stud finder that is able to detect studs without sliding it across the wall. Especially if your a novice! 99% of the time I hit the studs though! The magnate a great way too, but again can be fooled when there’s other metal in a wall for one reason or another! Never know what you’ll find in some walls? In fact some people have gotten rich when the walls were ripped into and found treasures hidden within. Before stud finders this is how many professionals found studs! But you can be fooled sometimes too, not always going to be right on the mark. Many times you can ever feel the difference when you hit the wall. It sounds hollow till you hit a stud that sounds like hitting a solid board. Old timers way of finding studs was making a fist and hitting the wall. Sometimes you run into some weird situations that make you wonder what the heck was someone thinking? Which I go through homes installing cabinets a lot over the years hunting for studs. Especially with some of the newer homes are the worse in many cases. Even though studs should be 16” on center, that is not always the case! I’ve found walls with studs anywhere from 16”-24” on center.
