PMD 7, LED, 70mm
The detector can detect ferrous metals at depths of up to 7 cm and non-ferrous metals at depths of up to 6 cm. It can detect live cables at depths of up to 5 cm in walls or ceilings. It features three small LED lights that use the simple traffic light principle to indicate whether users can safely drill at the desired point or not: A green light means that it is safe to drill, a yellow light means that drilling is not advisable and a red light means that drilling should not be carried out. The red LED flashes when the detector locates an electric cable. This clearly shows even inexperienced DIY enthusiasts where they can and cannot drill at a glance. In addition to the red light, the PMD 7 detector from Bosch emits acoustic signals: The varying tone and the LED help to ensure safe detection: The detector emits different tones depending on the object, indicating metal with a continuous signal and a permanently lit LED and indicating electrical current with an intermittent tone and a flashing LED.
Safe drilling is the number one priority for DIY enthusiasts. To ensure that drilling can be carried out safely, it is vital to know where metal supports, pipes and electric cables are routed in the wall. A detector such as the PMD 7 from Bosch reliably locates ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and electric cables so that hazardous areas can be identified. It uses a traffic light system and a warning tone to clearly alert DIY enthusiasts about places where they should not drill. Thanks to its extreme ease of use, the PMD 7 detector from Bosch is a practical companion for DIY enthusiasts, and it eliminates the risk of drilling into supporting metal components, pipes or cables and causing damage when decorating, renovating or carrying out installation work.
