3.1 Tracing Energized Wires

SMART SENSOR

The SMART SENSOR enables easier wire tracing by
showing the direction and position of the wire and
is the recommended method for tracing energized
wires (does not work on de-energized circuits, use
de-energized TIP SENSOR for that application).
Connecting transmitter test leads
1. Connect green and red test leads to the
transmitter (polarity does not matter)
2. Connect red lead to energized Line wire (on
the load side of the system). The signal will
ONLY be transmitted between the outlet to
which the transmitter is connected and the
source of power (see Figure 3.1a).
(refer to section 2.2 for further explanation).
3. Connect green lead to a separate Neutral wire
at the RCD or at a connection point as close to
the RCD as it is possible.*
*Note: Please make sure that Line wire and
separate Neutral are connected to the same RCD, otherwise the RCD will trip.
Set up the AT-7000-TE Transmitter:
1. Press ON/OFF key to turn on the transmitter.
2. Verify that the test leads are properly
connected - the red LED voltage status
indicator should be on, indicating that the
circuit is energized.
3. Select HIGH signal mode for most
applications. Screen will appear as shown
in Figure 3.1b.
Note: The LOW signal mode can be used to limit
the signal level generated by the transmitter
in order to more precisely pinpoint wire
location. A lower signal level reduces coupling
to neighboring wires and metal objects
and helps to avoid misreading due to ghost
signals. A lower signal also helps to prevent
oversaturating the receiver with a strong
signal that covers a large area. The LOW signal
mode function is rarely used, only for most
demanding precise wire tracing applications.
ATTENTION: The transmitter voltage indication by LED or measurement on the LCD is not
sufficient to assure safety. Always verify the voltage presence/absence with approved
voltage tester.
