Bosch Truvo 0603681221

What is a wire detector?

The Bosch Truvo 0603681221 smart digital detector works like an ultrasound for walls and can detect live electrical wires at a depth of up to 50 mm, as well as detect steel reinforcement, non-ferrous metals and hidden pipes at a depth of 60 – 70 mm.

Work accuracy

According to customer reviews, not all of them were lucky with the good work of the automatic calibration algorithm, which caused noticeable errors in the operation of the device. Often this was due to improper operation of the detector. Note that the device more accurately determines the electrical cable when the load is connected to the network — a lamp, a household appliance.

Detector operation indication

The Bosch Truvo 0603681221 device not only detects obstacles and dangerous places in the walls, but also signals with light indicators and sounds when metals and live wires are detected. The light indicator is made in the form of a “sight” and when the device is moved along the wall, the crosshairs light up in one of the traffic light colours, which may be accompanied by a characteristic sound.

Just change batteries

The Bosch Truvo 0603681221 wiring detector is very easy to operate and is controlled by just one power button. If the device does not respond with an indicator when turned on, then most likely the batteries are discharged and need to be replaced. It uses three 1.5 V AAA alkaline-manganese batteries, which can self-discharge even if the device is not used for a long time.

Without protection and cover

The Bosch Truvo 0603681221 detector should be protected from dust and moisture, because the case does not have the appropriate protection. And it would be nice to have some kind of case for attaching it to a belt.
