Proper connection
with separate
ground
1. Connect the green and red test leads to the
Transmitter.
2. Plug the socket adapter onto the receptacle
and connect the red lead to the Energized
hot wire. The signal will only be transmitted
between the load-side to which the Transmitter
is connected and the source of power.
3. Connect the green wire to a separate ground.
Receiver:
Quick Scan Mode
Use this mode to easily follow the direction of a wire.

Signal not detected Signal detected
1. Turn on the Receiver. It will automatically start
in Quick Scan Mode.
2. Scan the target area with the Tip Sensor to
nd a signal, then begin tracing the detected
wire. Increase or decrease sensitivity of the
Receiver by pressing + or - on the keypad as
necessary.

1. Turn on the Transmitter.
2. Verify that the test leads are properly connected;
the red LED voltage status light should be on
for circuits with voltage above 30 V AC/DC, and
it should be off for De-energized circuits below
30 V AC/DC.
3. Select HIGH signal mode by pressing HI, LED
display will quickly begin to blink.

1. Turn on the Receiver. Press the MODE button
until the Precision Tracing function is selected.
2. Scan the target area with the Tip Sensor to
nd the highest signal level. While tracing,
periodically adjust sensitivity to keep the signal
strength near 50. Increase or decrease sensitivity
by pressing + or - on the keypad. If the signal
is too strong for precise locating, change the
Transmitter to LOW mode.
