4. Take the receiver to the vicinity of the circuit breaker panel and press the HIGH RANGE
button. If a signal is received, move the receiver toward the panel to produce an
increase in signal strength. (The receiver will pick up the signal within 12 to 18 inches
of a panel, even with the panel cover closed.) If there is more than one panel, check
all panels without resetting the receiver to find the strongest signal. The panel with the
strongest signal contains the circuit breaker.
5. Open the panel door, push the LOW RANGE
button, and move the receiver over all the
breakers in the panel as shown. Next, move the
receiver slowly down the row of breakers until
the LEDs flash.
The breaker or fuse providing the strongest
signal (lighting the most red LEDs) is the one
powering the transmitter, and therefore the
receptacle or device to which it is connected.
Note: The receiver must be held in the position shown (relative to the setup of the
breakers) to be aligned with the magnetic field.
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 as shown below.
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.

(cont’d)
If there is any doubt of which
breaker is active, remove the
breaker panel trim and test wires
as shown.
