The signal will be loudest on the wire or cable attached to the

generator. Separating the wires or cables may help in isolating

APPLICATION HINTS

When tracing wires terminated to a terminal block such as a "66 block",

attach both generator leads to the cable or pair tends to contain the signal

within the cable or pair. This causes cancellation of the radiated signal. The

tracer must nearly touch the end of the cable to detect the signal, which is

Connecting one lead of the generator to a wire is normally suffi cient to

trace the cable. The more wires in a cable connected in parallel to the

generator, the stronger the radiated signal.

When necessary to maximize radiated signal, connect one lead of the

generator to the wire or cable and the other end to ground (case of an

electrical box, electrical conduit, metallic water pipe or ground rod).

Connect the generator to the ungrounded shield of a coax cable for the

strongest signal. If the generator is connected to the center lead, the shield

will do its job and shield the signal from being radiated.

The probe tip can be replaced if it is worn out or damaged with TraceAll™

1. Remove the screw

on the back of the probe nearest to the probe tip

2. Pull the tip

out of the probe.

3. Push the new tip

the probe can only be inserted completely in one orientation.

4. Replace the screw

and tighten, being careful not to over-tighten.

To check the tone generator for low batteries, watch its fl ashing

To check the tracer for low batteries, connect the alligator clips adapter to

the tone unit and turn it on. Turn the volume down to the minimum on the

tracer and place it near the adapter. If there is a quiet, distorted tone or no

tone at all from the tracer, you should replace the batteries.

1. Remove the screw

2. Recycle

exhausted batteries. Hitting the palm of your cupped hand

with the back of the probe will usually dislodge the batteries from the

compartment.
