LIKELY CAUSE
SOLUTION
No indication: i.e.
Green LED and
buzzer.
- The breaker for that
circuit is not in the box
being scanned.
- The breaker is off.
Find and scan the box that supplies that circuit.
Multiple indications
on second scan.
First scan was performed
too quickly.
Scan again, moving the receiver slowly. Keep
the nose of the receiver close to the breaker and
maintain proper orientation.
Receiver indicates
breaker above the
correct one.
Receiver is held at an
incorrect angle, with only
the tip of the receiver
contacting the breaker.
Hold the receiver at an angle so the entire Contact
Area of the receiver touches each circuit breaker as
shown in Figures B, C and D.
Receiver does not
operate.
Low battery.
Install
a new 9V alkaline battery with an
extended expiration date at least 3 years beyond
the current date.

INSTALL BATTERY
1.
Remove the Receiver battery cover by
lifting (a) and sliding (b) as shown.
NOTE: If the clip
is too tight to
move easily, use a
flat-head screwdriver
to gently pry open.
2.
Slide a new
9-volt alkaline
battery into the
compartment, terminals first, matching
+
and
−
on the battery with the markings in the
compartment.
3.
Slide the
cover back on the
Receiver until it
snaps in place.

LOCATE A CIRCUIT
1.
Fold out the Retractable
Plug on the bottom of the
Transmitter, then plug it into
the outlet to be identified.
(
Figure A
)
Verify that the Red LED glows
(this indicates a live circuit).
2.
At the circuit panel, turn
the Receiver to ON.
3.
Slowly scan all breakers
while holding the Receiver at an angle that
gives maximum contact between the Contact
Area and the breaker. (
Figure B
)
The Contact Area must touch each breaker
during the scan.
The first scan calibrates the tool. During first
scan, the receiver may indicate more than one
breaker. This is normal. If there is more than
one panel, perform this step on each panel
without turning the Receiver off.
4.
Perform a second pass over the breakers to
identify the breaker.
When the Green LED glows and the buzzer
sounds, the Receiver is directly over the breaker
for the outlet where Transmitter is plugged in.
Retractable Plug
Note: Some circuit boxes are mounted
with breakers oriented vertically.
See Figures C and D for proper Receiver
orientation for horizontally or vertically
oriented breakers.
5.
Once the correct breaker is identified,
turn it off and label for future reference.
6.
With the Transmitter still plugged in,
verify that the Red LED on the Transmitter
is off, indicating a dead circuit, before
beginning work.
Warning: For indoor use only on standard
110–120 V AC outlets.
