The Zircon Superscan3 is a cutting-edge stud finder equipped with revolutionary Target Control (TC) Level 1 Technology. This advanced tool allows users to accurately locate wood studs while intelligently filtering out metallic false positives, such as pipes, conduit, and ducts, commonly found behind walls. This ensures accurate stud detection and minimizes the risk of accidental drilling damage.
Pinpoint Accuracy with Target Control and StudScan Modes
The SuperScan3 boasts two distinct detection modes: Target Control (TC) and StudScan. In TC mode, the innovative ColorTrip Display illuminates blue and clearly indicates the center, edges, and direction of wood studs. This mode utilizes a “Trust but Verify” technique, enabling users to identify safe drilling zones between potential hazards like screws, nails, or protector plates. When TC mode is deactivated, the SuperScan3 seamlessly transitions to StudScan mode. This mode detects both wood and metal studs, providing versatility for various applications. A Target Spotlight illuminates on the screen and the SpotLite Pointer projects an arrow onto the wall, precisely marking the stud’s center.
Enhanced Safety and Performance Features
Beyond its core functionality, the SuperScan3 incorporates several features that enhance both safety and performance:
- WireWarning Detection: Continuously scans for live, unshielded AC wires up to 2 inches deep, alerting users to potential electrical hazards.
- LoLevel Detector: In TC mode, this feature identifies weak signals from less dense objects like plastic pipes, further reducing the risk of accidental damage.
- Signal Strength Indicator: In StudScan mode, this indicator differentiates between shallow and deep targets, providing valuable depth information.
- ACT (Auto Correcting Technology): Automatically rectifies common scanning errors, ensuring accurate readings even when starting over a stud.
Intuitive Design and User-Friendly Operation
The SuperScan3 is designed for ease of use, featuring a clear, informative ColorTrip Display and an ergonomic design. The integrated “V” marker groove allows for precise marking of stud locations, simplifying the process of hanging pictures, shelves, or other wall-mounted items. A low battery indicator ensures optimal performance, while the device operates on a standard 9V alkaline battery.
Conclusion: The SuperScan3 for Confident and Accurate Stud Finding
The Zircon SuperScan3 sets a new standard for stud finders with its advanced Target Control Technology, dual detection modes, and comprehensive safety features. Its intuitive design and user-friendly interface empower both DIY enthusiasts and professionals to locate studs with confidence and accuracy, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring successful project completion.
