Signal Clamp (Optional Accessory) - Mapping Circuits - Amprobe AT-6010 Mode D'emploi

4. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
Using the AT-6010-R Receiver
1. Turn on the Receiver. Tracing mode is automatically activated.
2. Hold the Receiver with the Tip Sensor facing the target area.
3. Scan the target area with the Tip Sensor to find the highest signal level. While tracing,
periodically adjust the sensitivity to keep the signal strength near 50. Increase or decrease
the sensitivity by pressing + / - on the keypad.
4. Receiver Positioning: For best results while tracing Energized wires, align the groove on the
Tip Sensor with the wire direction as shown. The signal may be lost if not properly aligned.
5. To verify the wire direction, periodically rotate the Receiver 90 degrees. Signal strength will
be highest when wire is aligned with the Tip Sensor groove.

4.13 Signal Clamp (optional accessory) - Mapping Circuits

The clamp accessory can be used to map loads to the specific breakers on both Energized and
De-energized circuits. There is no need to disconnect the power.
1. Connect the CT-400 test leads to the terminals of the Transmitter (polarity does not matter)
and select HIGH mode.
2. Clamp the CT-400 around the hot (line) wire at the breaker panel.
3. Set Receiver sensitivity to the maximum level by pressing + button.
Scan the face plates of receptacles and wires by touching them with the Tip Sensor of the
Receiver. All the wires, receptacles and loads that the Receiver indicates by reading a signal are
connected to the breaker.
Note: Expect a relatively weak signal. For best performance, install new batteries to the
Transmitter. Use the "Mapping a circuit using test leads connection" method if a much stronger
signal is required.
