Clear functions for safe DIY
The Truvo digital detector from Bosch indicates the presence of ferrous, non-ferrous metals and electrical cables.
The Truvo detector from Bosch 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 a straightforward traffic light system to indicate whether drilling is advisable at the desired location or not: A green light means that nothing has been detected, a yellow light means that drilling is not advisable, and a red light means that drilling should not be carried out. This clearly shows even inexperienced DIY enthusiasts where they can and cannot drill at a glance.In addition to the red light, the Truvo detector from Bosch emits audible signals: Its varying sound and LED light provide useful information when detecting potentially hazardous areas – the detector emits different sounds depending on the object, indicating metal with a continuous audible signal and a continuously lit LED and indicating electrical current with an intermittent tone and a flashing LED.
Bosch Truvo – switch it on, detect, drill!
With the Truvo detector from Bosch, you can reduce the risk of drilling into electrical cables and metal objects.
Whenever DIY enthusiasts need to drill holes, it is important to ensure that there are no pipes, metal supports or live cables routed in the walls. The Truvo digital detector from Bosch indicates the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and electrical cables by means of its LED traffic light system and audible signals. This detector is the ideal tool for users who want to put their minds at ease when decorating, renovating or carrying out installation work by reducing the risk of hitting cables or pipes and the hazards this would entail. And with just one button, the Truvo is particularly easy to operate.
