Introduction
TheSureTrace™CircuitTracersarepowerful,versatile,easy-to-usetroubleshootingtest
toolsforfindingbreakersandhiddenwireproblemsinresidential/commercial/industrial
environments.Thesetracersworkonclosed(energized)andopen(de-energized)circuits.
Theyidentifycircuitbreakers,findopensandshorts,andtracewiresbehindwalls.
Thetracersareavailableinthreeconfigurations.Eachkitcontainsthesametransmitter
(TR-955)andtestleadkit(TL-956).The955kithasaReceiver(RC-955)witha7-digitLED
screenandaHardCase(C-955).The957hasaReceiver(RC-959)witharotating,super-
