    Why are lines jumping all over the screen on my RIDGID Diagnostic Equipment while tracing?
    • M
      Mrs. Margaret ReedAug 23, 2025
      If lines are jumping all over the screen while tracing with your RIDGID Diagnostic Equipment, it could be due to a weak signal or interference. Ensure the transmitter is well connected and grounded, and point the SR-60 at either lead to ensure a complete circuit. You can also try using a higher frequency, connecting to a different point in the line, or switching to inductive mode. Attempt to identify and eliminate any sources of noise, like bonded grounding. Finally, check that the SR-60 batteries are fresh and fully charged.
