SITUATION
LIKELY CAUSE
SOLUTION
No indication:
no green LED
and buzzer.
The breaker for that circuit is
not in the box being scanned.
Find and scan the box that supplies that circuit.
The breaker is off.
Look for the breaker that is off and turn it on.
Multiple indications
on second scan.
First scan was performed
too quickly.
Scan again, moving the Receiver slowly.
Keep the nose of the Receiver close to
the breaker, and maintain proper orientation.
Receiver indicates
breaker above the
correct one.
Receiver is held at an incorrect
angle, with only the tip of the
Receiver contacting the breaker.
Hold the Receiver at an angle so the entire
Contact Area of the Receiver touches each
circuit breaker as shown in Figures B, C, and D.
Receiver does
not operate.
Low battery.
Install new 9V alkaline battery with an
extended expiration date at least 3 years
beyond the current date.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
ZIRCON
®
CIRCUIT BREAKER FINDERS WORK BY SENSING AN ELECTRONIC SIGNAL FROM
THE TRANSMITTER.
- Always use a new 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date at least 3 years beyond
the current date. Match battery direction to image inside of battery cavity.
- Readings should always be consistent and repeatable.
- Zircon circuit breaker finders should be used in a dry environment.
- Compatible with aluminum and copper circuit wiring.
- Clean transmitter with dry cloth only. Do not expose product to liquids.
- If the device is used in a manner not specified here, then the protection provided by the device
may be impaired.
- 80–300 V AC, 50–60 Hz, 4 W maximum.
- Maximum altitude: 2,188 yd (2,000 m).
- Maximum operating temperature: 104°F (40°C).
- Pollution Degree 2 or less.
- Maximum humidity: 80%.
- No part of this device may be replaced or repaired by anyone except the manufacturer.
- Device must be used on a live circuit.

Slide the cover back
on the Receiver until it
snaps in place.
LOCATE A CIRCUIT
In a three-phase application, the Transmitter
may be connected between any power line
and neutral, or from line to line not to exceed
300 V AC, in both wye and delta type power
configurations.
1.
Attach the appropriate Accessory(ies) to the
Transmitter. (
Figure A
)
2.
Connect the Transmitter to the circuit to be
identified. The Red LED will blink approximately
five seconds then glow solid to indicate the
Transmitter is functioning and the circuit is live.
3.
At the circuit panel, turn the Receiver to ON.
4.
Holding the Receiver at an angle that gives
maximum contact between the Contact Area and
the breaker, slowly scan all breakers. (
Figure B
)
The Contact Area must touch each breaker
during the scan.
The first scan calibrates the tool. During first
scan, the Receiver may indicate more than one
breaker. This is normal. If there is more than one
panel, perform this step on each panel without
turning the Receiver off.
5.
Perform a second pass over the breakers to
identify the breaker that corresponds with the
outlet where the Transmitter is plugged in.
When the green LED glows and the buzzer
sounds, the Receiver is directly over the breaker
for the outlet where Transmitter is plugged in.
Note:
Some circuit
boxes are
mounted
with breakers
oriented
vertically.
See Figures
C and D for
proper Receiver
orientation for
horizontally
or vertically
oriented
breakers.

6.
Once the correct breaker is identified, turn it
off and label the breaker for future reference.
7.
With the Transmitter still plugged in,
verify that the Red LED on the Transmitter is off,
indicating a dead circuit, before beginning work.
TRACE THE CIRCUIT FOR
A LIGHT FIXTURE
Screw the Light Socket Adapter into
the socket where a bulb would
normally go, then plug the Transmitter
into the Adapter.
STORE THE TOOL
Before storing, use a dry cloth to clean the parts.
Do not expose the tool to liquids.
Accessories
Alligator Clips
(connect to bare or
exposed wire)
120 V AC Plug
Light Socket
Adapter
Blades (use with angled
plugs such as 220V outlets)
Not Shown: Carrying/Storage Case
CAUTION: In no event may the Breaker ID
Pro Transmitter be used where the voltage
across the Transmitter exceeds 300 V AC,
as this will cause failure of the device
with consequent damage beyond repair.
INSTALL BATTERY
1.
Remove the Receiver
battery cover by lifting (a)
and sliding (b) as shown.
NOTE: If the clip is too
tight to move easily,
use a flat-head
screwdriver to gently
pry open.
2.
Slide a new 9V alkaline battery into
the compartment, terminals first, matching
+
and
−
on the battery with markings in
the compartment.
