2.  INTRODUCTION

The Triplett 

WireMaster Mapper 

is an 8-Way Cable Mapping Kit,

with built-in Continuity beeper, and 120VAC line cross protection.

The Main Unit and the Remotes allow the user to attach to a vari-

ety of different cables or outlets. Included in the ‘Mapper’ is a

Tone Generator that allows the path of wires to be traced through

walls and ceilings when used with an optional Triplett Hound Wire

Tracer.

3.  WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

•  

The WireMaster Mapper is not intended for use as a voltage

detector. 

It only detects voltage in order to perform its intended

function, and to prevent accidental damage to the product. i.e.

while the 

WireMaster Mapper 

detects the presence of 120VAC, it

is not safe while doing so. The product and its connectors are not

appropriately insulated.
•  In some situations, unconnected wires can “float up” to poten-

tially dangerous voltages and cause user injury. Treat any unknown

wires as having dangerous voltage present, and take the appro-

priate precautions.
•  The overvoltage detection feature does not work with a low or

dead battery. Consequently, if the battery is low or dead, the

WireMaster Mapper 

will not warn the user that a potentially dan-

gerous voltage (i.e. 120VAC) is present. 

The WireMaster Mapper

is not intended for use as a voltage detector.
