1. Plug the green and red test leads into the Transmitter.
2. Connect the green wire to a separate ground.
3.
Connect the red test lead to the wire being
traced. For receptacles, make sure to connect the
test lead to the line (hot) wire. For Energized
systems the signal will ONL

1. Turn on the Receiver and select SMART SENSOR
mode using the directional arrows.
2. Hold the Receiver with the Smart Sensor
the target area.
3.
Move the Receiver in direction indicated by the
arrow on the screen. If the screen flashes a “?” in a
red target then either no signal is detected or the
signal is not adequate enough to display direction;
increase the sensitivity using the “+” button on the
Receiver.

TIP: For best results, keep the Receiver at least 3
feet from the Transmitter and its test leads to
minimize signal interference and improve wire
tracing results. Select the “Long” Smart Sensor
Range in the Settings Menu if working with wires
that are greater than 3 feet deep.
