Identifying Circuit Breakers
Locating Circuit Breakers or Fuses
Caution: Always check to make sure the line voltage DOES NOT
EXCEED the range of the LSG - S2300: 9-300V, S2600: 9-600V.
1. Connect the LSG to the circuit as shown using either the C2901
Pigtail Cordset for 220V receptacles or the C2902 Alligator Clip
Cordset. The light will blink.
2. Turn the Receiver on by rotating the thumbwheel and leave it around
position '5'. The battery light should be on.
3. Set range to x1, and the mode switch to 'SHORT'.
4. Move the Receiver in front of the outside of each circuit breaker, as
shown, to determine which one has the strongest signal. Use
thumbwheel to reduce the sensitivity when the signal strength goes
above 9 LED's and leave it in this position until you come across
another breaker with a stronger signal. In this way you can accurately
determine the proper breaker.
5. If two or more breakers produce the same signal strength indication,
remove the panel cover and test each wire, reducing the sensitivity
where necessary.

1. Connect the alligator clip Cordset to the LSG.
2. Make sure the voltage does not exceed the LSG's rating.
3. Connect one alligator clip to the hot wire and other to a separate
ground (not something that runs along the same path as the hot wire).
At a receptacle, use the AD-1 Adapter to access the hot wire). At a
