Features of the Transmitter

Power Button: Press and release to turn the transmitter on. Press and release to turn the

transmitter off.

Power LED: Indicates that the transmitter is turned on.

Live Line LED: This LED illuminates when the transmitter is connected to a voltage of at least

12 VAC or 5 VDC.

Low Battery LED: This LED illuminates when approximately one hour of battery life is remaining

under typical use conditions. When this LED ﬂashes, the batteries are nearly exhausted. Replace

them immediately.

Automatic Power Off: The transmitter will turn off after four hours.

Features of the Receiver

The receiver is designed to be held in the user’s hand. The hand and body act as a ground plane

reference, which improves the sensitivity of the receiver. Without this ground plane reference, the

range of the receiver can be signiﬁcantly reduced.

Transmitter Signal Indicator: This indicator is a solid blue oval when the receiver senses the

signal from the transmitter. Alternating segments of a red oval indicate there is no signal from the

transmitter, or the signal is too low to detect at the current gain setting.

Absolute Signal Strength bar graph: This displays the strength of the received signal. The red

bar indicates the maximum signal received since the unit was reset.

Relative Signal Strength indicators: These four arcs represent a magniﬁed view of

the Absolute Signal Strength bar graph. All four arcs will be displayed when the signal is

approximately equal to the maximum signal received. Lower signal levels will display fewer arcs.

When the signal drops further, no arcs will be displayed. The magniﬁcation factors are different in

Breaker Mode and Search Mode, as explained below.

Gain Mode is Auto when the receiver is turned on. Manual Gain is selected by pressing either the

Increase Manual Gain h or Decrease Manual Gain i button on the receiver. Refer to the “Using

Gain Modes” section below for details of these modes.

Line Status is LIVE when the transmitter is connected to a circuit powered by at least 12 VAC or

5 VDC. Line Status is OPEN when the transmitter is connected to a deenergized line.

Power Button: Press and release to turn the receiver on. Press and hold to turn the receiver off.

This button also serves as Signal Reset. Press momentarily to reset the receiver gain to

maximum. To change from Manual Gain to Auto Gain, press and hold for about one second, and

then release. “AUTO GAIN” will appear on the display.

Mode Selector button toggles the receiver between Breaker Mode and Search Mode. The

receiver is in Breaker Mode when it is initially powered on.

In Breaker Mode, weaker signals are ignored. A higher magniﬁcation factor is used for the

Relative Signal Strength portion of the display. A smaller signal range is required to change the

display from one arc to four arcs. Small changes in signal strength can be easily observed. This

mode is usually best for identifying circuit breakers. It can also be useful for tracing circuits or

objects that are very close to the receiver, and for locating the exact location of a break or short

in a conductor.

In Search Mode, a wider range of signal strength is displayed. A lower magniﬁcation factor is

used for the Relative Signal Strength portion of the display. A larger signal range is required to

change the display from one arc to four arcs. This mode is usually best for locating and tracing

circuits, except when the traced object is very close to the receiver.
