3. MAIN APPLICATIONS - TRACING ENERGIZED AND DE-ENERGIZED WIRES
Using AT-6000-RE Receiver in Precision Tracing Mode
Use Precision Tracing mode to precisely pinpoint the wire location or the place of the fault.
The AT-6000-RE will indicate detected signal strength using two digits' readout, a bar graph
and a sound.
1. Continue pressing MODE button until the Precision Tracing function is selected.
2. Scan target area with Tip Sensor to find highest signal level. While tracing, periodically
adjust sensitivity to keep signal strength near 50. Increase or decrease sensitivity
by pressing + or - on the keypad. If signal is too strong for precise locating, change
transmitter to LOW mode.
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

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