Circuit Breaker Finder Mode Operation
Locating a Circuit Breaker or Fuse
1. Plug the transmitter into the receptacle.
2. Go to the circuit breaker panel box.
3. Turn the receiver on.
4. Place the flat surface of the tapered end of the
receiver directly onto the circuit breaker or fuse as
shown. (Figure 3) If the receiver is held at any other
angle, inaccurate readings may occur.
5. Slide the nose of the receiver along the outer edge
of each row of breakers using a racetrack pattern
as shown (Figure 4).
Note: The receiver will beep frequently as it
measures the relative signal strength during the
first pass.
6. Repeat step 5. On the second pass, the green LED
will flash and a continuous beeping sound will be
emitted when the receiver tip is placed on the breaker
powering the transmitter.
Note: In some cases, a third pass may be required
due to branch circuit conductors crossing over each other.
7. Trip the breaker off and check that the LED on the
transmitter in the outlet is off to confirm you have
found the correct breaker or fuse.
Locating a Circuit Breaker or Fuse Controlling an Incandescent Light
Fixture
1. If the incandescent light fixture is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the
wall switch is OFF.
2. Remove light bulb.
3. Install a Screw-in socket adapter (not included). (Optional part # TL-532A)
4. Plug the transmitter into the adapter.
5. Turn on the wall switch and follow the procedure described in Locating a
Circuit Breaker or Fuse, steps 3 through 7.
Note: If used on a circuit controlled by a dimmer, turn the dimmer to the
highest on position.
