2.1 AT-7000-R Receiver
Th e AT-7000-R Receiver detects the signal generated by t he AT-7000-T transmitter along wires using either the TIP SENSOR or SMART SENSOR and displays this inf orm ation on the full color TFT LCD display.
Active tracing using a signal generated by the AT-7000-T Transmitter The SMART SENSOR works with a 6 kHz signal generated along energized wires (above 30V AC/DC) and provides an indication of the wire position and direc tion rel ative to the receiver. The SMART SENSOR is not designed to work on de-energized systems; for that application the TIP SENSOR should be used in de-energized mod e.
The TIP SENSOR may be used on either energized or de-energized wires and can be used for general tracing, tracing in tight spaces, locating breakers, pinpointing wires in bundles or in junction boxes. The TIP SENSOR mode will pinpoint the wire location with both an audible and visual indication of detected signal strength, but unlike SMART SENSOR mode it will not provide wire direction or orientation.
Note: The receiver will NOT detect signals from the wire through metal conduit or shielded cable. Refer to Special Applications, section 4.4 “Tracing Wires In M etal Conduit” for alternative tracing methods.

2.2 AT-7000-T Transmitter
The AT-7000-T Transmitter works on energized and de-energized circuits up to 300V AC/DC in C ateg ory I-IV electrical environments. The transmitter will measure the line voltage and display it on the transmitter’s color TFT LCD display screen. Based on detected voltage it will automatically switch to either energized mode (30 to 300V AC/DC) or de-energized mode (0 to 30V AC/DC). The energized mode uses a lower transmission frequency (6kHz) than de-energized mode (33 kHz) to reduce signal coupling with nearby metallic objects and improve results. If the circuit is energized the red LED in the upper left corner of the AT-7000-T transmitter will light.
IMPORTANT! Note that the red LED light will turn on when connected to an energized circuit. Select the correct energized or de-energized mode on the AT-7000-R receiver when choosing your tracing mode.
Energized mode: In energized mode the transmitter draws very low current from the
energized circuit and generates a 6.25 kHz signal. This is very important feature of the AT-7000-T, since drawing current does not inject any signal that would harm sensitive equipment connected to the circuit. The signal is also generated in a direct path between the transmitter and the power source, thus NOT placing a signal onto any branches enabling wiring tracing directly back to the breaker panel. Please note that due to this feature, the transmitter has to be connected on the load side of the circuit.
De-energized mode:

IMPORTANT NOTICE, PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START TRACING
�
Avoiding signal cancellation problems with a separate ground connection The signal generated by the transmitter creates an electromagnetic field around the wire. This field is what is detectable by the receiver. The clearer this signal, the easier it is to tr ace
the wire. If trans mitter is connected t o two adjacent wires on the same circuit (for example, hot and
neutral wires on a Romax cable), the signal travels in one directions through the firs t wire and then returns (with opposite direction) through the second one. This causes creation of two electromagnetic fields around each wire with opposite direction. These opposing fields will partially or c ompletely canc el eac h oth er out, making wire tr acing difficult if not impossible.
AT-7000-R
Not recommended. T his wire connection causes signal cancellation
Figure 3a AT-7000-T
To avoid the cancellation effect, a separate ground connection method should be used. The red test lead of the transmitter should be connected to the hot wire of the circuit you wish to trace, and the green lead to a separate ground, such as water pipe, ground stake, metal grounded structure of the building, or outlet ground connection of an outlet on a different circuit. It is important to understand that an acceptable separate ground is NOT the gr oun din g ter minal of any rec eptacle on the same circuit as the wire you wish to trace. If hot wire is energized and the transmitter is properly connected to ground, the maximum signal strength, because the electromagnetic field created around the hot wire is not being cancelled by a signal on the return path flowing along an adjacent wire (hot or neutr al) in the opposit e direction, but rather through the sep arate ground circuit.

2. The red LED voltage status should indicator should be off, indicating that the circuit is de-energized. If LED is on, disconnect power to the circuit.
3. S elec t HIGH signal mode for most applications. Screen will appear as shown in Figure
3.2b
Note: The LOW signal precision mode can be used to limit the signal level generated by the transmitter in order to more precisely pinpoint wire location. A lower signal level reduces coupling to neighboring wires and metal objects and helps to avoid misreading due to ghost signals. A lower signal also helps to prevent oversaturating the receiver with a strong sign al that covers a large area. The LOW mode function is rarely used, only for most demanding precise wire tracing applications.

Tracing Wires in Metal Conduit
The AT-7000-R receiver will not be able to pick up the signal from the wire through the metal conduit. The metal conduit will completely shield the tracing signal.
Note: The receiver will be able to det ect wires in non-metallic conduit. For these applications follow general tracing guidelines.
In order to trace wires in conduit:
1. Use either energized or de-energized TIP SENSOR mode (refer to section 3.1 or 3.2 as appropriate)
2. Open junction boxes and use the r eceiver TIP SENSOR to det ect which wire in the junction box is carrying the signal.
Move from junction box to junction box to follow the path of the wire.
3.
Note
: Applying signal directly to the conduit will send signal through all the conduit
branches making tracing of one particular conduit path not possible.
4.5
Tracing Non-Metallic Pipes and Conduits
The AT-7000 c an indirectly trace plastic conduits and pipes using the following steps:
Insert fish tape or wire inside the conduit.
1.
2. Conn

wir e to a separat e gr ound (see secti on 3. 2 for furt her set-up instructions).
3. Set the R ecei ver to De- energized TIP SENSOR mode to trac e the conduit (ref er to section 3.2).
The receiver will pick up the signal conducted by fish tape or wire through the conduit.
4.
4.6
Tracing Shielded Wi res
The AT-7000-R receiver will not be able to pick up the signal from the shielded wire. The shield will completely stop the tracing signal.
In order to trace these types of wires:
1.
Connect the AT-7000-T transmitter directly to the shield (connect red test lead to the
shield and the green test lead to the separate ground).
2.
Set the r ecei ver to the De-Energized TIP SENSOR mode to trace the wir e.

No Access to Bare Conductors (Signal Clamp)
The clamp ac cessor y is us ed for applications where th ere is no access to the bar e conductor to connect transmitter test leads. When clamp is connected to the transmitter, it enables the AT-7000-T to induce signal to energized or de-energized wire through the insulation. The signal will travel through the wire both directions and it will affect all the branches. This met hod is safe to us e for any s ensitive electr onic equipment.
Connect the clamp
Connect the SC-7000 test leads to the
1. terminals of the transmitter (polarity does not matter).
2. Clamp the SC-7000 Signal Clamp around the conductor. To increase the signal strength wind a few turns of conductor wire around the clamp if poss ibl e.
Set up the AT-7000-T Transmitter:
1. Pres s ON/OFF key to turn on the transmitter. The red LED voltage status indicator should be OFF when clamp is connected and when working with either energized or de­energized systems.
2. Press HIGH signal mode for 2 seconds to select the clamp mode on the transmitter. The clamp mode generates a boosted 6kHz signal in order to provide superior tracing results. The screen on the Transmitter should appear as in Figure 4.10a.
