OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TRACING WIRES
1. Connect the Transmitter to the circuit to be traced and power on
the Transmitter.
NOTE: The direct ground and remote ground connection methods
can be used on both energized and de-energized circuits, but an
energized circuit produces a higher signal strength.
2. Power on the Receiver, and use the Increase Sensitivity button
4
to set the Sensitivity Level to 8 (highest level).
3. Starting a few feet from the Transmitter, slowly move the Receiver
around to locate the direction of the strongest signal. The wires may
be located behind the wall, in the ceiling, or underneath the floor.
NOTE: If the signal strength displays “99”, the signal is saturated.
Use the Decrease Sensitivity button
5
to reduce the sensitivity level.
NOTE: If the signal strength is too weak, use the Remote Ground
connection method (if not done already) to strengthen the signal.
4. Continue to follow the location of the highest signal strength until
the destination is reached.
NOTE: If the circuit is de-energized, the Transmitter can be
connected to the neutral and ground wires, which will create a
stronger closed loop signal, as neutral and ground are bonded
together at the panel.
TRACING LOW VOLTAGE AND DATA CABLES
Follow the same steps outlined for Tracing wire above, with the wires
de-energized and utlizing a remote ground connection method.
NOTE: For shielded cables, connect the red test lead to the shield
of the cable being traced. Ground the far end of the cable shield if
possible.
FINDING OPENS/BREAKS
Follow the same steps outlined for Tracing wire above, except make
sure to ground any other wires running in parallel with the wire being
traced. Follow the signal strength until you observe it starting to drop
off. Use the sensitivity arrow keys to lower the sensitity level to pin
point the location of the open/break.
