FINDING ENERGIZED BREAKERS AND FUSES BREAKER OR FUSE find it STEP 1: VERIFY POWER AND SIGNAL ON CIRCUIT Plug Transmitter into an outlet and power on. Hold the Receiver near the Transmitter to verify connection, confirmed by the lightning bolt symbol. STEP 2: SCAN EACH PANEL FOR THE HIGHEST READING Set Receiver to the highest sensitivity mode (Receiver defaults to this). Place Receiver flat on the front near the top of each panel until the highest reading is reached. This is the correct panel.
COMMON SPLICE ERROR find it STEP 1: ATTACH CLIPS STEP 2: SCAN STEP 3: SEPARATE NEUTRALS 1. Confirm branch circuits are de-energized Scan each electrical location switch, outlet, light fixture, etc.) with the Receiver in the 3rd sensitivity mode setting until you identify the highest numeric reading on the Receiver. Identify the incorrect splice, separate each circuit’s neutral conductors, and re-splice each neutral circuit’s connections.
DEAD SHORT find it STEP 1: DETERMINE THE SHORTED CONDITION STEP 2: ATTACH CLIPS AND SET RECEIVER’S SENSITIVITY STEP 3: SCAN METAL CONDUIT 1. Confirm branch circuit is de-energized Set Receiver to the fourth, or highest, sensitivity mode. 2. Unplug all items connected to the affected branch circuit Note: Sensitivity levels may need to be adjusted in various situations 3. Verify the fault is in the affected branch circuit FOR A NEUTRAL TO GROUND CONDITION WITH AFCI/GFCI/ COMBO BREAKERS 4.
WIRES IN WALLS, CEILINGS AND FLOORS find it STEP 1: PLUG ADAPTER INTO CIRCUIT Plug the transmitter into a wall outlet using the outlet plug adapter provided with the circuit tracer. Hold the receiver near the transmitter to verify signal strength. The lightning bolt indicates power is present on the circuit. STEP 2: SET RECEIVER TO HIGHEST SENSITIVITY MODE AND SCAN Set the receiver to the highest sensitivity mode.
BURIED CONDUCTORS find it STEP 1: ATTACH ALLIGATOR CLIPS STEP 2: PLUG LEADS INTO TRANSMITTER AND TURN IT ON Use appropriate methods and LO/TO to ensure the conductors are de-energized and locked out before proceeding. Verify that you de-energized the correct conductors before proceeding when possible. Reenergize after the transmitter is attached. Using appropriate safety methods, attach the alligator clips with 3 foot leads to the Hot and Neutral conductors on the supply side of the branch circuit.
Inductive Clamp: IC-958 KIT OPTIONS AND PARTS 1” jaw opening with a powerful coil that induces a low voltage signal onto the cable without affecting the low voltage signals on the circuit. Receiver: RC-959 or RC-955 Battery Pack & Strap: BP-958 Provides a numeric value and variable pitch that increases as the signal becomes stronger on the wires being traced or breakers being identified. Provides power for the inductive clamp and attaches to the inductive clamp with a 6” cord.
RC-955 TR-955 IC-958 BP-958 TL-956 CR-959* 61-955 For residential applications 61-957 For commercial applications 61-959 For industrial/ commercial applications 2-year limited warranty on all kits Kit Options IMPORTANT: This tracer is intended for use by qualified electricians. Follow NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace when using this tester.
