2. INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Lift tab on bottom end of clip to release end cap.
Slide 9 Vcc battery into compartment, terminal side
first, matching (+) and (-) terminals from battery
to case.
Slide the clip onto
the receiver, pressing
down on battery
until both pieces
snap together.
3. LOCATING A CIRCUIT
Note: A small percentage of circuit boxes are mounted
with breakers oriented vertically. See diagrams for
proper receiver orientation.
Connect the transmitter to a circuit you want to identify.
The LED will blink approximately five seconds and then glow
solid indicating the transmitter is functioning.
In a three phase application, the transmitter may be connected
between any power line and neutral or from line-to-line in both
wye and delta type power configurations.
In no event may the
Breaker ID Pro Transmitter be used where the voltage across
the transmitter exceeds 277 Vca, as this will cause failure of
the device with consequent damage beyond repair.
Go to the circuit panel. Turn on the receiver and hold it against
the breaker as shown.
It is important to hold the receiver at an angle so that the entire
CONTACT AREA of the receiver touches each circuit breaker.
Slowly scan the receiver over all breakers. This calibrates the unit.
During this first pass while the unit is calibrating, the receiver
may indicate more than one breaker. This is normal. If you have
more than one panel, be sure to perform this step on each panel.
Do not turn off the receiver.
Perform a second pass over the breakers.
When the green
LED glows and the buzzer sounds, you are directly over the
breaker connected to the transmitter.
Turn off the breaker.
Verify that the red LED on the transmitter is off, indicating a dead
circuit, before beginning work.
4. CLEANING AND STORING THE UNIT
Clean transmitter with dry cloth only. Do not expose product
to liquids.
Locating a breaker when you have to turn off a circuit can be a
real problem. Take the guess work out of finding the right breaker.

5. HELPFUL HINTS
Situation
Probable Causes
Solutions
No indication, i.e., no
green LED and buzzer.
Multiple indications
on second scan.
Tracing circuit
connected to
light fixture.
Receiver indicates
breaker above the
correct one.
• The breaker for that circuit is not in
the box being scanned.
• Circuit not live.
• Transmitter is dead.
• The first scan was performed
too quickly.
• Receiver is held horizontally
with only the tip of the receiver
contacting the breaker and not
an angle (see illustration in Step 3).
• Scan the box that supplies that circuit.
• Turn on circuit.
• Call customer support at
(800) 788-0233
• Scan again, moving the receiver
slowly. Be sure to keep the nose of
the receiver close to the breaker and
maintain proper orientation.
• Use an outlet adapter. Screw the
adapter into the socket, then plug
the transmitter into it. Or plug an
extension cord into the adapter,
then plug the transmitter into the
extension cord.
• Hold the receiver at an angle so
the entire CONTACT AREA of the
receiver touches each circuit breaker
(see illustration in Step 3).
