Using a Separate Ground: Do not use a separate ground when tracing GFCI-protected
circuits. The transmitter load will trip the GFCI.
Any wire carrying the load from the transmitter will have the magnetic signature around it.
This means that both the hot and neutral wires will carry the signal. If hot and neutral are
close together as in a cable or conduit, they tend to cancel each other out.
Although the 2011 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 cable or conduit in
one direction by using a remote
path. Set up transmitter using
adapter plug and receptacle
blade to separate current paths.
Connect one clip to separate or
earth ground and the other to
blade and insert in hot side of
outlet. Proceed with step 4 (on
previous page) to trace path.
By using these or similar
methods, wiring can be traced
with the receiver up to 20 feet
away from the signal path.
Note: If the LIVE LINE MODE
LED doesn’t flash with the
above connection, you may
have a poor ground.
To trace the path of a hidden
wire (dead circuit), see
“Locating the Break in an
Open Line.”
