Tracing Coax Cable
1. Attach both alligator clips to the transmitter adapter. Connect one side of transmitter
adapter to a separate or earth ground. Plug the transmitter into the transmitter adapter
plug. Connect the other clip to the shield of the coax you need to trace.
2. Follow the prior instructions for tracing circuits under “Tracing the Path of a Hidden
Wire (Live Circuit).” This method will work whether the coax is grounded (SHORTED
LINE MODE LED will flash on transmitter) or ungrounded (OPEN LINE MODE LED will
flash on transmitter) at the other end.
Tracing Metallic Conduit
The 2011 can trace metal conduit if the conduit is grounded only at the circuit breaker
panel. Conduit in contact with metal will create multiple ground paths which cannot be
traced.
1. Attach both alligator clips to the transmitter adapter. Connect one clip of the transmitter
adapter plug to a separate or earth ground. Plug the transmitter into the transmitter
adapter plug. Connect the other clip of the transmitter adapter to the conduit, as shown
under “Tracing the Path of a Hidden Wire (Live Circuit)” (see illustration at end of
section.)
2. Turn the transmitter ON. The SHORTED LINE MODE LED will pulse when the transmitter
is working.
3. Estimate the average distance from the conduit that the receiver will be held while
tracing. Hold the receiver at that distance and turn the receiver on by pressing the HIGH
RANGE button. The gain will automatically adjust so that three LEDs light.
4. To trace conduit in the wall, sweep the receiver slowly side to side, noting when the
signal is strongest. Move in the direction of the strongest signal until the end of the
conduit run is reached. If you lose the signal, go back to where you last picked up the
signal. Push the HIGH RANGE button to reset signal, and continue scanning.
