Stanley 77 115 Intellisensor Plus Stud Sensor - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I had this problem as well. The solution was to replace the 9 volt battery that it runs on. The beep was much louder and it calibrated correctly. Apparently the old battery was enough to make the beeping sound but not strong enough to emit the energy required to penetrate the drywall.

Hi Gene,

• Place the unit flat against the wall.
• Press and hold the button.
• The LED will come on for a second or two then go out.
• Slowly move the unit laterally until the LEDs come on again.
• When they top out, that is the beginning of the stud.
• When they start to go back down, that is the end of the stud.

That's about it..

Best regards
Mike

Question edited for clarity. The LED Area Light or the Unit display. The backlit display always stays on to alert you to the internal battery status, so that when you come to use it, it should be fully charged. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2188388/Stanley-Fatmax-Pp1dcs.html?page=2&term=light&selected=1#manual

I'm having same problem... anyone know?

replace battery. Check your manual that came with unit. copy and paste Stanley fat max power it 1000a battery

Select a location that is relatively level and flat. The edge of a bench is best so that the level can be placed in the same position when the level is rotated during the calibration process. To calibrate follow below: Press and hold Calibrate button for about 4 seconds. The display will now show CAL1. Press the Calibrate button briefly again and the 1 will flash, a beep will be heard and CAL2 will be displayed. Rotate the level 180° end to end with the display still facing you whilst the level is now upside down. Place the level in the same location. Press the Calibrate button briefly one last time. The 2 will flash, a beep will be heard and the display will revert back to normal.

From the the attached photo I see that you have completely disassemble the tape. This makes the tape almost impossible to reassemble. The spring has to be back wound fully, the blade attached and retracted back into the case using the back wound spring. This requires special equipment that is not overly complicated, however not possible to make for a once off use. I have designed, built and trained operators to use this type of equipment in a production situation, however in my 35 years of experience I have never been seen anyone back wind a spring by hand. Sorry to say but the tape is ready for the trash.

It is a known issue! https://www.google.com/search?q=stanley+fatmax+powerit+1000a+wont+turn+off ..

Yes. Unless one was provided the standard is to just use an extension cord.

I have just read the device instructions and although the device offers usb charging or power up to half an amp it does not and cannot communicate digitally...
