3.2 Tracing Energized Wires

TIP SENSOR
TIP SENSOR mode is used for the following
applications: pinpointing a wire in a bundle,
tracing in corners and confined spaces such as
junction boxes or inside enclosures.
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 3.2a).
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 3.2b.
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.
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.
