RT32-EU-EN-V2.3-4/12
3
Operation
Detecting Live Circuits (VOLTAGE method)
The RT32 can be directly clamped on installed building wiring and will detect the
voltage applied to the wiring.
1.
Slide the transmitter power switch to the VOLTAGE position. The POWER
LED will switch on.
2.
Slide the Receiver power switch to the ON position. The POWER LED and
the SIGNAL OK LED will switch ON.
3.
Place the Romex
TM
/nm cable (AC wire) directly into the wire clamp slot or,
alternatively, connect the external voltage detector probe into the external
probe socket and then clamp the probe to any cable, extension cord or
appliance cord.
4.
If the cable is “live” (voltage present), the VOLTAGE/LIGHT
amber LED on the transmitter will switch on and the
DETECT LED on the receiver will switch on.
5.
If desired, switch the receiver power switch to the audio OFF
position to disable the audible tone.
6.
When the voltage is removed (by opening the splice or the
circuit breaker, for example), the Detect LEDs will switch
OFF and the detect beeper will switch OFF.
Note:
Use of the External Probe overrides the setting of the Power/Mode Switch. The Lighting
method cannot be used while the External Probe is attached.
Detecting Live Circuits (LIGHTING method)
In situations where access to circuit wiring is limited, the RT32 can also
detect room lighting changes (ON to OFF).
1.
Slide the transmitter power switch to the LIGHT position. The
POWER LED will switch on.
2.
Slide the Receiver power switch to the ON position. The POWER
LED will switch on.
3.
Cover the Light Sensor on the transmitter and press the Light
Setpoint button.
4.
Expose the Light Sensor to the light source. The
VOLTAGE/LIGHT LED on the transmitter and the DETECT LED
on the receiver will switch on
5.
When the lights are turned off the VOLTAGE/LIGHT LED on the transmitter and the DETECT
LED on the receiver will switch off, indicating the light has been switched off and power has
been removed.
Note
: Before use, always test the light on/off operation for proper sensitivity and detection.
