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.
Set the receiver to the highest
sensitivity mode.
Start several feet away from the transmitter,
then scan the area while holding the back
of the receiver flat.
Rotate the receiver to find the highest
numerical reading. This is necessary
to follow signal strength variations while
tracing due to bends, twists and conduc-
tors that run deeper or shallower along
their path. Signal strength variations occur
and may require constant adjustment to
the angle of the receiver to trace.
Adjust the signal strength on the receiver
if needed. If the reading is too high, reduce
the strength. If the reading is too weak,
utilize the remote return path method for
the transmitter, then repeat step 2.
To assist in tracing,
use a small piece of
tape to pinpoint the
location of the cable.
Continue tracing while following the
highest reading until the end of the cable
is found.
Hold the Receiver
flat on the conduit/
ground and trace
along until the
reading drops to
zero. This is the location of the short.
