USING A REMOTE GROUND INCREASES SIGNAL STRENGTH
If there is any doubt as to which is the correct breaker or fuse (due to
unusual breaker design, wiring, or the possibility that two breakers are
feeding the same circuit) remove the panel trim and check the wires.
You can also continue to follow the power line by locating the remote
main breaker in the same fashion. since the signal is on a single
phase circuit you can even find which leg of the breaker is feeding the
transmitter.
If there is any doubt as to which breaker is active, remove the
breaker panel trim and test the wires as shown.
Important: Panel trim can distort the signal when locating breakers on
the outside corners of the panel. this can cause stronger signal level
on the adjacent breaker instead of the correct breaker in the corner.
Before labeling any breaker next to the corner breaker, confirm it is the
correct breaker by removing panel trim and repeating the sweep of all
breakers in the panel.
Note: the receiver MUST be held in the position shown to be aligned
with the magnetic field.
TRACING LIVE WIRES
any wire carrying the current load from the transmitter will have the
magnetic signature around it. this means that both the hot and neutral
wires will have the signal.
If hot and neutral are close together as in a cable or conduit they tend
to cancel each other out.
