1-1/2 in.

Stud Sensor:

• Up to 1-1/2 in. deep stud detection.

Sonic Tape:

• Instant measurement.

• Dynamic measurement capability.

• Select measurement unit - ft. in./m

• Computation of area and volume.

• Addition of distances.

The Ryobi Electronic MeasureTech Plus™ is

intended for fast convenient distance measurement

and for locating wood and metal studs behind walls,

floors and ceilings.

For damage caused by usage other than intended,

the user is responsible.

• Press “Read” or side yellow “On/Off” button on

the unit, if LCD screen lights up the power is on.

• Position the unit against the wall.

• Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button on side of

unit. Hold the unit in still position until calibration is

complete (approximately 3 seconds). A single beep

will be generated and “ON” will be shown on the

LCD after calibration is completed.

• Slowly slide the unit horizontally across the wall,

right or left. As you begin to approach the stud, the

bars on the LCD will light up.

• When the word “EDGE” flashes and a continuous

beep is heard, mark location as the first edge.

• Continue scanning beyond the marked spot until

the word “EDGE” disappears on screen. Slide unit in

reverse direction to locate the other stud edge.

• Mark this second spot. The middle of the 2 spots is

the stud center.

NOTE: Because of the powerful scanning capability

of this tool, be sure to mark the two edges of the

stud. The two marks may indicate wider than actual

stud width, but center of stud will be between the

two marks.

Situations Possible Causes Solutions

1). Take the first reading.

2). Press the “ + “ button.

3). Take the second reading.

4). Press the “ + “ to get the result of length

addition

5). Repeat step one and two for further additions.

6). The result of the addition is shown at the upper

row of the LCD.

7). The 1-digit counter records the number of

readings added. It’s maximum value is 9 and

larger number will be displayed as “-”.

• Slide the door off the back of the unit. Attach

a 9V battery to the connector. Place battery in

compartment and reinstall door.

• Alkaline Battery life is approximately 20 hours.

• The battery should be replaced when battery

indicator reads low charge.

• No studs in that area.

• You accidently calibrated over a stud.

• C

alibration on wall of high density such

as a wet painted wall, concrete, etc.

• Unit not flat against wall.

• Unit was rocked or lifted during

calibration.

• Detect other objects besides studs.

• Electrical wiring and metal/plastic

pipes may be near or touching back

surface of wall

• Battery runs out of power

• Measured distance is <2’ (0.6m) or

> 50’ (15m)

• Another ultrasonic source is nearby.

• Measured distance is<2’ (0.6m) or

> 50’ (15m)

• The target is not a good ultrasonic

reflector. (e.g. thick carpet, irregular

wall paper, etc.)

• The unit points to the target obliquely.

• Computation is out of the specified

range.

CALCULATION - ADDITION

• Move several inches to the left or right and start again.

• Move several inches to the left or tight and start again.

• On rough surfaces, place a piece of cardboard on the

wall, so that the unit will slide smoothly when scaning.

• Always hold MeasureTech Plus™ parallel to stud or

joist and move across it.

• Studs are normally spaced 16 in. (406mm) or 24 in.

(610mm) apart and are 1-1/2 in. (38mm) wide, beware

of anything closer together or of a different width.

• On rough surfaces, place a piece of cardboard on the

wall, so that the unit will slide smoothly when scaning.

• Replace with new battery

• Make sure measured distance is within range.

• Remove the ultrasonic source and try again.

• Make sure measured distance is within range.

• Place a piece of cardboard in front of target.

• Make sure computation is within range.

• Hold unit perpendicular to target and start again.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

FEATURES

The MeasureTech Plus™ is designed for use on dry

interior walls only. Three factors can affect sensing

depth: Thickness, density and moisture content.

The MeasureTech Plus™ is not designed to

penetrate materials with inconsistent density such as:

• Ceramic floor tile

• Carpeting and padding

• Wallpaper with metallic fibers

• Freshly painted walls , not completely dry.

• Lath and plaster

WORKING WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS

Operating Temperature: 32°F to 104°F

Storage Temperature: -4°F to 150°F

Distance Range: from 2 ft. to 50 ft.

Stud Sensor: ± 1/2” accuracy of center

location behind drywall up to 1-1/2” thick.

Sonic Tape: Distance range from 2ft. to 50ft.

Accuracy: D ± (D x 0.5% + 1 least significant

digit) where D is the actual physical distance.

e.g. D = 20 ft., reading = 20 ft. ± 3 in.

Computation range of addition: 9999’11”

(999m)

SPECIFICATION OF PRODUCT

 

Stud Sensor - Depending on the proximity of

electrical wiring or pipes to the wall surface, the

MeasureTech Plus™ may detect them in the same

manner as studs. Caution should always be used

when nailing, cutting of drilling in walls, floors and

ceilings that may contain these items.

To avoid electrical, plumbing, etc., remember that

studs or joists are normally spaced 16 in. (406 mm)

or 24 in. (610 mm) apart and are 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) in

width. Anything closer together or a different width

may not be a stud, joist or firebreak. Always turn off

the power when working near electrical wires.

This product is a consumable item. Therefore it is

warranted against defective parts and labor only and

not misuse or deterioration of the product through

normal wear and tear for a period of 2 years from date of

purchase.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES

• The unit functions as a distance

measurer with the top edge as

the measurement base, and is

to be held upside down.

The LCD will automatically

adapt to this orientation

and show reading accordingly.

• Select the measurement unit.

• Point the bottom of the unit perpendicular to the

target. The laser will show where the unit is pointing

and is “ON” only while reading is being taken.

• Caution: Do not stare directly at the laser beam.

Hold the unit above or below eye level.

• Press the “READ” button to take the measurement.

• Hold the “READ” button for continuous

measurement.

1). Take the first reading.

2). Press the “ x “ button.

3). Take the second reading.

4). Press the “ x “ to get the result of square

measurement (sq. ft / sq. m)

5). Take the third readings.

6). Press the “ x “ to get the result of cubic

measurement (cu. ft / cu. m)

CHANGING MEASUREMENT

Press the “ + “ and the “ x “ buttons simultaneously

to change measurement unit from ft. to m or vise

versa.

HINTS

• Any large obstacle found within ± 5 degrees of

the viewing angle of the unit might be regarded

as the target.

• Hard surfaces usually give more accurate

results.

•

To measure small, irregular or soft objects, place

a piece of cardboard on front of the object.

• The unit cannot measure through glass.

OPERATING NOTES

Sonic Tape - The use of this tool other than specified

may cause hazardous radiation exposure. The

emission power of the laser beam is less than 5mW

Class IIIA (US version) . User must follow the below

warnings to avoid injury:

When the laser beam is on, do not stare directly at

it. The laser is used for locating a target only. Please

do not point the laser into the eyes of others.

The unit should not be positioned at eye level or

operated near a reflective surface so as to avoid

beaming into the eyes of others accidentally.

WARNING: To avoid risk of eye injury, do not stare directly into beam. Never point the beam into anyone’s

eyes. Do not permit children to use this device. It is not a toy. To avoid risk of electric shock, ALWAYS turn power

off when working near electric wires. Avoid nailing, cutting or drilling in walls where electrical or plumbing may be

present.
