3. MAIN APPLICATIONS - TRACING ENERGIZED AND DE-ENERGIZED WIRES
Using AT-6000-RE Receiver in Quick Scan Mode
Quick Scan mode detects wires at the longer distance (between a wire and the AT-6000-RE)
but with less precision than Precision Tracing or Breaker/Fuse modes. This feature is used to
verify that the tracing signal is present and to quickly follow the path of the wire. Switch to
Precision Tracing mode to precisely pinpoint the wire, or to Breaker/Fuse mode to locate a
Breaker/Fuse.
1. Press 'ON/OFF' push button to turn on the AT-6000-RE. It starts in Quick Scan mode
after turning ON (default mode).
2. Scan a target area with Tip Sensor to find a signal, then you may begin tracing the
detected wire. Increase or decrease sensitivity of the AT-6000-RE by pressing + or - on
the keypad as necessary.
3. For best results while tracing energized wires, align groove on tip sensor with wire
direction as shown (see figure 3.1f/g). Signal may be not detected if not properly
aligned. To verify wire direction, periodically rotate AT-6000-RE 90 degrees. Signal
strength will be the highest when wire is aligned with Tip Sensor groove.
Depending on the detected signal, the AT-6000-RE automatically switches to either
Energized or De-energized
manual setup is necessary.

Note: For best results, keep AT-6000-RE at least 1 meter away from the transmitter and its
test leads to minimize signal interference via air and improve wire tracing results.
