OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TRACING WIRES INSIDE METAL CONDUIT
Due to metal conduit shielding the wire being traced, the Receiver
will be prevented from picking up the signal from the Transmitter. To
trace wire inside of metal conduit:
1. Connect the Transmitter to the circuit to be traced and power on
the Transmitter.
2. Power on the Receiver, and use the Increase Sensitivity button
4
to set the Sensitivity Level to 8 (highest level).
3. Hold the Receiver in front of junction boxes to check for the signal
being transmitted from the Transmitter.
4. If there is no signal detected, the junction box may need to be opened
so that the tip of the Receiver can be held in front of each wire.
5. Continue along each junction box until the destination is reached
or until the end of the circuit.
NOTE:
If the conduit is non-metallic, the standard wire tracing
steps can be followed.
MAPPING A CIRCUIT
1. Turn off the breaker of the circuit being traced.
2. Remove the hot wire from the circuit breaker and connect the red
test lead of the Transmitter to the wire.
3. Connect the black test lead of the Transmitter to a remote ground
(see the Direct and Remote Ground connection methods sections)
and then power on the Transmitter.
4. Starting a few feet from the Transmitter, use the tip of the Receiver
to scan face plates of receptacles, wires, and other loads.
NOTE:
If the signal strength displays “99”, the signal is saturated.
Use the Decrease Sensitivity button
5
to reduce the sensitivity level.
NOTE:
If the signal strength is too weak, use the Remote Ground
connection method (if not done already) to strengthen the signal.
Any locations which indicate a signal are connected to the specific
breaker.
