Inductive Clamp Applications
WARNING: The clamp does not have any indicators to sense if a circuit is
energized. The line energized feature (
(TR-955).
The inductive clamp is powered solely by the battery pack. It generates its own specific,
time modulated signal, and by transformer action, couples that signal onto the energized or
de-energized circuit to be traced.
Always disconnect the battery pack from the clamp when not in use to conserve battery
power.
For the clamp to propagate a signal onto the circuit to be traced, the circuit must be closed
at the end where the clamp is applied, at a minimum. To maximize the signal produced,
both ends of the circuit should be closed to create a complete loop. Refer to the diagrams
for proper setup.
Three typical applications where the inductive clamp may be used in replace of the
transmitter:
• Identifying downstream loads from a breaker
• Tracing conduit
• Tracing industrial control circuits
) on the receiver only works with the transmitter
