The DEWALT 12 volt hand held wall scanner DCT419 was designed to assist contractors with assessing hidden conditions, and embedded material detection.

The DCT419 can detect the following items behind multiple wall surfaces:

  • wood
  • ferrous and non-ferrous metal
  • plastic
  • unshielded live electric wiring

How Deep Can The DCT419 Reach?

The DCT419 Wall Scanner has a sensing depth of up to 3 inches and will sense items behind drywall, plywood, concrete and ceramic tile.

Upgraded Design:

The DCT419 is an improved version from earlier models and has used an improved detection algorithm to sense embedded materials.

How It Works?

The Hand Held Wall Scanner is used to scan up to a 9.8-foot wall section in a straight line, either vertically or horizontally. Multiple sensors inside the tool register material type that is most likely behind the wall surface — wood, ferrous and non-ferrous metal, plastic, and unshielded live electric wiring—and the detection results are displayed on a 3.5-inch LCD color screen.

The Hand Held Wall Scanner features a pre-scan mapping mode that eliminates the need to calibrate or choose between settings. The first pass over the wall surface maps all of the detected embedded materials. When the user reverses the direction, the embedded materials detected are displayed. The Hand Held Wall Scanner also includes a tracking bar that counts the number of embedded materials detected in a scan.
