STEP 2: ATTACH CLIPS
AND SET RECEIVER’S
SENSITIVITY
1. Confirm branch circuit is
de-energized.
2. Unplug all items connected to the
affected branch circuit.
3. Verify the fault is in the affected
branch circuit.
4. Use a continuity check to determine
which conductors are affected.
Note: The 61-948 will indicate continuity
automatically, the 61-946 requires a
separate tester.
Set Receiver to the first, or
highest, sensitivity mode.
Note: Sensitivity levels may need to be
adjusted in various situations
METAL CONDUIT
DEAD SHORT FOUND IN
CONNECTING
CONDUIT
Since metal conduit cannot be traced
through, simply trace over the outlets in a
circuit. The outlet where the reading starts
to drop means that the short is between
that outlet and the previously traced outlet.
PVC CONDUIT/UNDERGROUND
Hold the Receiver
flat on the conduit/
ground and trace
along until the
reading drops to
zero. This is the location of the short.
