TIP:
In Energized mode, align the groove on the Tip
Sensor with the wire direction for best results; the
signal may not be detected without this alignment.
De-energized mode uses a different antenna in the
Tip Sensor than Energized mode. Specific alignment
of the Tip Sensor groove to the wire is not required.
De-energized wire tracing results are based only on
how close the Tip Sensor is to the wire.

Tracing Energized and De-energized Wires - Tip Sensor
Receiver:
Energized and De-energized
Tip Sensor Modes
Use this mode for pinpointing a wire in a bundle or
tracing in corners and confined spaces such as junction
boxes and inside enclosures.
1. Turn on
the Receiver and select either Energized
or De-energized TIP SENSOR mode using the
directional arrows.
2. Hold
the Receiver with the Tip Sensor facing the
target area.
3. Scan
the target area with the Tip Sensor to find the
highest signal level, then begin tracing the detected
wire. Increase or decrease sensitivity of the Receiver
by pr or - on the keypad as necessary.
4. Press ENTER
when complete to return to the
home screen.

1. Plug
the green and red test leads into the Transmitter.
2. Connect
the green wire to a separate ground.
3. Connect
the red test lead to the wire being traced.
For receptacles, make sure to connect the test lead to
the line (hot) wire. For Energized systems the signal
will ONLY be transmitted between the load-side to
which the Transmitter is connected and the source
of power.
1. 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, and
it should be off for De-energized circuits below
30 V AC/DC.
3. Select HIGH signal mode
by pressing HI.
