Featuring new, revolutionary Target Control
™
(TC
™
) Level 1 Technology. The Zircon
®
SuperScan
™
M3 advanced
wall scanner is tuned to find clean, wood studs while filtering out metallic false positive objects, such as
plumbing, conduit, straps, brackets, or ducts, hiding behind surfaces. The LoLevel
™
and MetalliWarning
™
Indicators alert to the presence of dangerous, deep, less dense false positives, and metal targets, reducing the
chance of accidentally drilling into a piece of metal or plastic pipe. With the addition of Metal Scan mode, users
can interactively narrow and map metal in walls, making for a more robust and multifunctional tool.
The SuperScan
™
M3 offers four distinct detection modes - TC
™
, StudScan, DeepScan
®
, and Metal Scan.
A 3-mode switch makes it easy to toggle between functions, while the ColorTrip
®
Display conveniently details
information. The screen will illuminate pale blue in TC
™
mode and indicate the center, edges, and direction of
wood studs, while enabling the user to identify ‘safe-to-drill’ zones by utilizing the new ‘Trust but Verify’
technique. When TC
™
mode is off, the tool will perform in StudScan mode indicating both wood and metal studs.
DeepScan
®
mode doubles the scanning depth to find wood and metal studs beneath extra layers of drywall or
paneling. A dedicated Metal Scan mode helps users detect ferrous metal, such as rebar, and non-ferrous metal,
such as copper. The Target Spotlight illuminates on screen and the SpotLite
®
Pointer shines on the surface being
scanned when the target object is found.
• NEW! – Target Control
™
(TC
™
) Mode locates the center, edges, and direction of wood studs, and not
metal, up to ¾ in. (19 mm) deep behind surfaces. Identifies ‘safe-to-drill’ zones between adjacent drywall
screws, nails, and protector plates
• StudScan Mode locates center, edges, and direction of wood and metal studs up to ¾ in. (19 mm) deep
• DeepScan
®
Mode doubles the scan depth of wood and metal studs up to 1½ in. (38 mm) deep
• Metal Scan Mode locates ferrous metal up to 3 in. (75 mm) deep and non-ferrous metal
up to 1½ in. (38 mm) deep
• WireWarning
®
Detection alerts to live, unshielded AC wires up to 2 in. (50 mm) deep
• LoLevel
™
Indicator displays low (weak) signal objects, such as plastic water pipes, while in TC
™
mode
• Signal Strength Indicator helps distinguish between shallow and deep targets while in StudScan
and DeepScan
®
modes
• MetalliWarning
™
Indicator turns on when metal is detected in TC
™
, StudScan, and DeepScan
®
modes
• ACT
™
(Auto Correcting Technology) automatically corrects common errors, such as when scanning begins
over a stud
• Target Spotlight illuminates on screen when target is detected
• ColorTrip
®
Display illuminates pale blue in TC
™
mode, green in DeepScan
®
mode, blue in Metal Scan mode,
and red to alert to the presence of live AC electricity
• SpotLite
®
Pointer shines an arrow-shaped light on the scanned surface to indicate the target location
• “V” marker groove enables accurate marking of target location
• Low Battery Indicator for optimum performance (9V battery required, not included)
