Bosch GMS 120 Wall Scanner
PRIMARY USES
Multi-Mode Detection for Safe Drilling
Primary Use: A multi-detector wall scanner used for locating metal objects, wooden studs, and live electrical cables in walls, floors, and ceilings before drilling or cutting. Essential for preventing accidents and damage during renovation, installation, and maintenance work.
How it helps: For electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and construction professionals, the multi-detector provides reliable detection of hidden objects in various wall types. The automatic calibration feature ensures precise measurement results and avoids application errors . The GMS 120 detects magnetic metals (e.g. steel, iron) up to 120mm deep, non-magnetic metals (e.g. copper pipes) up to 80mm, live electrical cables up to 50mm, and wooden substructures in drywall up to 38mm . The tool’s versatility makes it invaluable for both new construction and renovation projects .
Three Detection Modes for Specific Applications
Primary Use: Selectable detection modes for different material types: Drywall mode for locating wooden studs, Metal mode for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and Live Cable mode for identifying electrical wiring .
How it helps: The three selection modes allow the user to optimise detection for specific materials, improving accuracy and reducing false readings . The audible detection signal with on/off button provides clear feedback during scanning . The illuminated graphical display indicates mode selection, detection strength, and other information for easy interpretation .
Centre Finder and Marking Function
Primary Use: Precisely locates the centre of detected objects for accurate marking and drilling.
How it helps: The automatic Centre Finder provides a pinpoint indication of the object’s centre, ensuring accurate drilling or cutting . The marking hole within the three-colour LED ring allows direct notation of each scanning result without moving the tool . The illuminated LED ring changes colour to indicate detection status: green means no object found, orange means object is near, and red means an object is within the detection area .
SECONDARY USES
Cabinet and Kitchen Installation: Locates studs and hidden pipes before drilling for cabinet, counter, and shelving installation.
Pipe and Electrical Work: Identifies pipes and cables in walls before drilling or cutting for plumbing, heating, and electrical systems.
Window and Door Framing: Finds wooden and metal studs for secure fixing of frames and fixtures.
