Information on the calibration of newly purchased equipment and what it means to you.
Calibration and its certification comes in varying forms on new equipment and in this section, we will break it down into the three areas that we use to classify calibration state at the point of purchase.
Manufacturers Calibration Certificate
This is a calibration certificate offered by the manufacturer supplied with the tester. This is also known as an end-of-line certificate or manufacturer’s certificate. These certificates vary depending on the manufacturer and product. They will not have your company's name on them and don’t always show proven test results.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
This instrument comes complete with the manufacturer's calibration certificate. Please be aware that these certificates are generic and may also be time-lapsed.
If you would prefer a personalised full traceable calibration certificate applied to the equipment before dispatch, then please select this option from the drop-down menu above, an additional calibration charge will apply.Manufacturers Certificate of Conformity
A manufacturer's certificate of conformity is not a calibration certificate. It is merely a statement that the equipment has been produced to operate within its intended application, it has no traceable certificate or constitutes any defined results for accuracy before leaving the manufacturing process.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
This instrument comes with a ‘manufacturer's certificate of conformity’. It is important to understand that this does NOT constitute a ‘calibration certificate’. A certificate of conformity merely states that the equipment has been designed and produced to meet the requirements of its intended application.
Where calibration of an instrument is possible we will offer this as a separately purchasable item and may be selected from the drop-down box above. You will be sent a full traceable calibration certificate produced in our laboratory and applied with your details as required.Personalised traceable calibration certificate from isswww
This is a calibration certificate created by us at ISS. This certificate is fully traceable to national and international standards. The certificate will show your company's details, tester information, proven test results and the equipment used to carry out the test. Nearly 90% of all calibrations we do are done in-house in one of our many fully equipped laboratories. You can add this service to your order on the product page before you checkout.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
We are on occasion able to offer FREE calibration on certain products at their point of sale (newly purchased equipment only) please look out for the following badge on the product's page to take advantage of this free offer.

ZIRCON L70 Stud Sensor
Description:
Key Features:
- StudScan mode locates the center, edges, and direction of wood or metal studs up to 3/4 in. (19 mm) deep
- DeepScan mode doubles the scanning depth to 1 1/2 in. (38 mm)
- WireWarning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded AC electrical wiring up to 2 in. (51 mm) deep
- ACT (Auto Correcting Technology) automatically corrects common errors, such as when scanning begins over a stud
- Ultra-bright backlit LCD display indicates target location
- Low battery indicator for optimum performance
- Signal Strength indicator helps to distinguish between shallow and deep targets
- SpotLite Pointer shines an arrow-shaped light on the wall to clearly indicate the center of the stud
- “V” marker groove for more accurate marking of stud location
- Patented pivot pinch grip for a comfortable, secure hold in either hand, at any angle
Not all modes are created equal
What are Stud Scan and DeepScan® modes?
Stud Scan mode locates studs through one layer of drywall up to ¾ in. (19 mm) thick.
DeepScan® mode locates studs through two layers of drywall up to 1½ in. (38 mm) thick.
Why are two modes important?
It’s extremely important to not scan further than you need to get the job done. Drywall is fastened directly to studs, whereas plumbing and electrical wiring may be anywhere in the wall cavity. Zircon® Stud Scan mode scans just barely enough through one layer of drywall, plus an allowance for mud, tape, texture, and paint. A competitive model that is always deep scanning may find other items further behind the wall surface that may not be a stud. This is very unsafe, as it increases the risk of hammering or drilling through plumbing and electrical wiring. One should always start a scan in Stud Scan mode first, scanning no deeper behind the wall surface than is necessary or safe.
Does every stud finder brand have two scanning modes?
Unfortunately, some other brands offer models that are always deep scanning up to 1½ in. (38 mm). Scanning too deep multiplies the risk of detecting plumbing and electrical behind the wall. Other brands may promote constant deep scanning mode as a benefit, but now you know!
What is the difference between WireWarning® detection and AC Scan?
WireWarning® detection is a feature to alert the user to the presence of live, unshielded electrical AC wires while scanning for studs and metal. The WireWarning ® detection is always on in StudScan, DeepScan ®, or Metal Scan modes. (An LED light will flash, or a lightning bolt icon will appear on the LCD display when live AC voltage is present, depending on the model.)
AC Scan is a dedicated Scan mode on certain MultiScanner ™ tools that enables the user to narrow the location of live AC (using the interactive calibration technique). With AC Scan, the display changes to indicate when the tool is moving towards or away from the live electricity. This interface enables the user to adjust the tool’s sensitivity to live AC. This procedure can be repeated multiple times, as needed.
Caution: Electrical field locators may not detect live AC wires if wires are more than 2 inches from the scanned surface, in concrete, encased in conduit, present behind a plywood shear wall or metallic wall covering, or if moisture is present in the environment or scanned surface.
CAUTION: DO NOT ASSUME THERE ARE NO LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE WALL. DO NOT TAKE ACTIONS THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THE WALL CONTAINS A LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRE. ALWAYS TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER, GAS, AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE PENETRATING A SURFACE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Always turn off power when working near electrical wires.
