3. MAIN APPLICATIONS - TRACING ENERGIZED AND DE-ENERGIZED WIRES
Using the AT-6010-R Receiver in Tracing Mode
Use Receiver to precisely pinpoint the wire location or the place of the fault. The Receiver will
indicate detected signal strength using a two digit readout, bar graph and sound.
1. Turn the Receiver on. Tracing mode is automatically activated.
2. Scan target area with the Tip Sensor to find the highest signal level. While tracing,
periodically adjust sensitivity to keep the signal strength near 50. Increase or decrease
sensitivity by pressing + or - on the keypad.
3. For best results while tracing Energized wires, align groove on the Tip Sensor with wire
direction as shown in Figure 3.1d. 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.
Depending on the detected signal, the Receiver automatically switches to either Energized
De-energized
Note: For best results, keep the Receiver at least 3 feet from the Transmitter and test leads to
minimize signal interference.
