although the Power trace
tM
is powerful enough to trace these signals
at short distances from cable or conduit, maximum range is obtained
by separating the current paths.
separating the current path simply means drawing current through the
conductor in one direction by using a remote path.
By using these or similar methods, wiring can be followed up to 20
feet away.
In sEarcH mode, the receiver will indicate you are within tracing dis-
tance by initially flashing all variable signal lEDs. If the signal is lost,
resetting the sEarcH button will adjust the receiver to the appropriate
signal level. the signal strength will increase and the variable signal
lEDs will adjust as you get closer to the signal wire. this creates the
most accurate reading possible based on the receivers distance from
the signal wire.
NOTE: If the transmitter lED does not flash when using a remote
ground you may have a poor ground connection.
TRACING LOW VOLTAGE CIRCUITS
to trace low voltage circuits (50 volts or less), connect one transmit-
ter test lead to a known ground, and the other test lead to the low
voltage conductor.
operate the receiver per prior instructions.
