3. MAIN APPLICATIONS - ENERGIZED WIRES
3.1 Tracing Energized Wires
Connecting Transmitter test leads
1. Connect the green and red test leads to the
Transmitter (polarity does not matter).
2. Using provided test leads accessories, connect
the green wire to a separate ground (metal
building structure, metal water pipe, or ground
wire on a separate circuit).
3. Connect the red test lead to the line/phase wire
being traced. For Energized systems the signal
will ONLY be transmitted between the load-side
to which the Transmitter is connected and the
source of power (see Figure 3.1a)
*Note: Please note that if working with GFCI
protected circuits, this method will trip the GFCI
protection. Refer to Special Applications,
section 4.1 "GFCI-Protected Circuit Wire Tracing"
for alternative tracing methods.
TIP: The Transmitter, with the red test lead, can be directly connected to the live wire
of the working electrical equipment under load (motor, electronics, etc). Tracing can
be performed without needing to turn off the equipment or switching power off.
Set up the AT-8000-T Transmitter
1. Press power button to turn on the Transmitter.
2. Verify that the test leads are properly connected; the red LED voltage status light should be
on for circuits with voltage above 30 V AC/DC.
Note: Make sure to use the separate neutral connection as described above.
3. Select HIGH signal mode by pressing HI for most applications. The Transmitter will appear
as shown in Figure 3.1c. The LED display will quickly begin to blink.
