To come up against an electric cable while drilling a hole in a wall can have catastrophic consequences.
Likewise, drilling into gas, water pipes or central heating pipes can be extremely hazardous.
With a handy metal detector it can now be determined beforehand whether there are metal objects to be found in a wall, ceiling or floor. An LED indicates if a metal object is in the vicinity.
If an audio signal is also desired, space has been provided on the PCB for buzzer to be connected.
The PCB has been specially constructed to fit entirely into to the separately available box .
Metal detecting distance adjustable: up to 8cm (3.15")
