StudSensor™ Pro SL quickly and easily locates the edges of wood and metal studs and joists behind walls, floors, and ceilings. The patented SpotLite® Pointing System shines a beam of light on the wall to identify the target.
- Stud Scan mode locates the edges of wood or metal studs up to 3/4 inch (19 mm) deep
- DeepScan® mode doubles the scanning depth to 1 1/2 inches (38 mm)
- Red LEDs light up every time a stud edge is approached
- Patented SpotLite® Pointing System, an audio alert, and a green LED signals when the stud edge is reached
- Should scanning begin over a stud, Zircon's patented "over-the-stud" indicator alerts the user to start the scan in a new location
- Patented TruCal® technology calibrates to any wall's density and a steady green LED TruCal® light alerts the user when the tool is ready and calibrated

Find Stud Edge
Stud finders work by measuring density. Your wallboard is one density; when the stud finder registers a higher density as you slide the tool along the wall, it probably means you've reached the edge of a stud. To find the center of the stud, you must find both edges first
Scan Thick Walls for Studs
Sometimes because of extra layers of wallboard or paneling, the studs are too deep to be found by standard scanning.
Tools with Zircon's Deepscan® feature can be switched to a higher strength to detect studs and joists up to 1 1/2 inches deep.
This extra power shouldn't be used unless necessary, because on normal walls it is oversensitive and results in too many false positives.
