Test Lead Kit - IDEAL SureTrace 61-955 Mode D'emploi

• Receiver Orientation
• The indication of received signal intensity depends on how the receiver is pointed
in relation to the source of the signal. If the receiver is pointed away from the
signal source then there will be a low value indicated on the receiver. If the
receiver is rotated about the axis of main antenna sensitivity, the signal varies in
strength as the antenna is pointed at and then away from the circuit being traced.
• Therefore, rotate the receiver over the wire being traced until the highest reading
is displayed. If during tracing, the signal is reduced, the wire may have changed
directions (e.g. from horizontal travel across a wall to vertical travel up a wall).
Rotate the receiver to find the strongest signal again.
• Use the back of the receiver to sweep the wall or floor and determine the circuit's
general location. Use the nose of the receiver to pinpoint its location.
• Steel conduit attenuates (weakens) the signal radiating from the wires inside the
conduit. Aluminum conduit significantly attenuates the signal. So, the receiver
should be set at a higher sensitivity and may need to be placed closer to the
circuit to obtain a stronger signal detection.
