Detecting AC Circuits in Cords, Switches, and Outlets
You can use the Circuit Sensor function of the
tool to determine if a cord, power outlet, or
switch is live.
Never insert any part of the

tool, including the bit, into
an electrical outlet for any reason . Never
touch any portion of the tool to any

WARNING
switches, outlets, and cords that are operating at household voltage (100-230V AC). The
recommended optimal operating distance is 1 inch. Never use this product for detecting other
types of currents. Failure to obey this warning could cause serious personal injury and
damage to the tool.
a) Press the Circuit Sensor button. The red detection indicator will blink once and the buzzer
will beep once to indicate that the Circuit Sensor function is activated.
b) Align the side of the Circuit Sensor body adjacent to a possible live source. Do not touch
the tool to the outlet, switch, or cord.
c) Keep the Circuit Sensor button depressed. Move the tool adjacent to the anticipated AC
source (cord, switch, or outlet). When an AC source is located, the red LED indicator will
illuminate and the buzzer will sound.
d) After detecting the AC source, turn off the power at the breaker panel, and use the Circuit
TM
Sensor Technology to confirm that there is no power at the outlet, switch, or cord before
initiating any repairs.
NOTICE: Static charge may interfere with detection on both sides of the wire, resulting in
limited accuracy.
