FAQs - Franklin Sensors

Q: What does the single blinking light mean?

Several of our models now have a low battery indicator. When the battery voltage is low, the second LED from the right will flash. Replace with two brand new batteries.

Q: What does the center green light mean?

In certain models, the center LED will turn green to indicate the exact center of the stud.

Q: Do Franklin Sensors stud finders work through lath and plaster walls?

We have tested our sensors on several lath and plaster walls and they work well on most lath and plaster walls. However, electronic stud finders only work if the wall surface is reasonably uniform. If a lath and plaster wall has a high degree of inconsistency, stud finders may not work well, or not at all. We cannot guarantee their performance on all lath and plaster walls.

Q: How does my Franklin Sensors stud finder work without calibration?

Conventional stud finders can only see the wall in one location at a time – as a result the user must slide the stud finder back and forth across the wall to “learn” the wall. However, Franklin Sensors stud finders have multiple sensors that allow them to see the wall in several locations at once as a result they don’t need any user calibration. Additionally, more sensors make Franklin Sensors stud finders much more accurate, quicker and easier to use.
