Tracing Energized and De-energized Wires

Set-up:
1

Test Leads

Proper connection
with separate
ground
1. Plug the green and red test leads into the Transmitter.
2. Connect the red test lead to the wire being traced,
Energized or De-energized. For receptacles, make
sure to connect the test lead to the hot wire.
The signal will only be transmitted between the
load-side to which the Transmitter is connected and
the source of power.
3. Connect the green wire to a separate ground.

HIGH mode
1. Turn on the Transmitter.
2. Verify that the test leads are properly connected;
the red LED voltage status light should be on
for circuits with voltage above 30 V AC/DC, and
it should be off for De-energized circuits below
30 V AC/DC.
3. HIGH signal mode is automatically activated
when the Transmitter is turned on.

Receiver:
Tracing Mode
Use this mode to easily follow the direction of a wire.
Signal not detected
1. Turn on the Receiver. Tracing mode is
automatically activated.
2. Scan the target area with the Tip Sensor to find the
highest signal level, then begin tracing the detected
wire. Increase or decrease sensitivity of the Receiver
by pressing + or - on the keypad as necessary.
Tip groove
TIP: Align groove on the Tip Sensor with wire
direction for best results while tracing Energized
wires. Signal may be not detected if not properly
aligned. To verify wire direction, periodically
rotate the Receiver 90 degrees. Signal strength
will be the highest when wire is aligned with the
Tip Sensor groove.
