Battery Installation
1. To install the batteries, remove the battery cover
on the back of the housing and insert 2 AAA batteries
(CARGO 200738) into the battery compartment. Be sure
the polarity of the batteries are correct then replace the
battery cover.
Testing the receiver
To test the receiver, connect the transmitter to the
vehicle’s battery, turn on the receiver by pressing the
"Power/Sensitivity Lock" button. Place the "Open &
Short Pick-Up" of the receiver on top of the green signal
lead. The receiver should detect the open circuit signal
and indicate this by the open circuit LED indicator
flashing and pulsing a beeping tone.
To test the receiver for the "Short/Grounded Circuit
signal" connect the green signal lead to the negative
post of the battery. Then you can test the Grounded
Circuit signal by placing the "Open & Short Pick-Up"
of the receiver parallel to the green signal lead. The
receiver should detect the "Grounded Circuit signal" and
show the direction to ground by the "Direction to Short or
Ground" indicator.
Pulse mode
When you first turn on the receiver it enters into "Pulse
Mode". "Pulse Mode" is great for the initial detection of
the transmitting signal. You can also get a feel for the
strength of the transmitting signal.
As you place the "Open and Short Pick-Up" near an
transmitting signal, an LED indicator will blink repeatedly
along with an audible beep.
The receiver has 7 sensitivity levels. You can sense
each level by observing and listening to the slight
increase in pulse frequency as you slowly lower the
receiver nearer to the transmitting circuit. The closer you
place the "Open and Short Pick-Up" to the transmitting
signal, the faster it will pulse. Pulling the receiver away
from the transmitting signal it will pulse slower.
No signal zone
(No pulse)
Weak signal zone
(Slow pulse)
Strong signal zone
(Rapid pulse)
When the receiver is in "Pulse Mode"
1. It detects both "Grounded" and "Open" circuit signals.
2. It picks up and determines strong from weak signals
by the pulse frequency rate.
3. The sensitivity is ready to be locked in, by pressing
the "Power/Sensitivity Lock" button.
4. It detects and displays the direction to ground or a
short circuit.
While in "Pulse mode" and then pressing the "Power/
Sensitivity Lock" button, the receiver’s sensitivity will
now be locked and no longer be in "Pulse Mode". To
return to "Pulse Mode" press the "Power/Sensitivity lock
button again.
The Receiver’s Reception Sensitivity
When the receiver is in "Pulse mode" you can lower it
progressively closer to the transmitting signal and hear
the increase in the pulse frequency as it passes each
of the 7 sensitivity levels. The fastest pulse frequency
is when you are nearest to the transmitting signal.
Once you press the "Power/Sensitivity Lock" button the
reception sensitivity is locked into that distance (pulse/
minus a couple of inches) from the transmitter circuit.
In order to lock the reception sensitivity of the
receiver, two conditions must be met.
1. The receiver must be in "pulse mode".
2. The receiver must be receiving a signal.
When these two conditions are met, you can now press
the "Power/Sensitivity Lock" button to lock the distance
of the receiver and reception sensitivity.
When the receiver’s reception is locked.
1. The reception sensitivity is held at the distance set.
2. It won’t pick signals further than the level set.
3. It detects only the type of signal you locked into.
For instance if you are locked into an "Open Circuit
Signal", it will not pick up "Grounded Circuit Signals". If
you are locked into a "Grounded Circuit Signals" it will
not pick up "Open Circuit Signals".
