NOTE:Due to varying installation techniques, the signal might be strong on more than
one wire on the same phase and AC interference or computer data buzz may be
present.
Scan each breaker wire by pointing the antenna at the wires.The wire in question will
have a distinct NULL (absence of tone) when the antenna tip is on the subject wire
with tone on either side. (See Fig. 04)
Check signal strength on each subject wire by sliding the antenna in and out along
each side of these wires. The loudest signal will be received when the wire is
approximately one inch from the tip of the antenna. (See Fig. 05) Choose the loudest,
clearest conductor and with the antenna still held against the suspect wire, turn the
breaker off. The signal will cease, positively identifying that breaker.
CAUTION:DO NOT TURN OFF BREAKER IF CONNECTED TO EQUIPMENT THAT
CANNOT BE INTERRUPTED.
To identify the phase feeding the breaker in question, scan all phases entering the
breaker box. Tone will be heard along the sides of the phase carrying the signal with
a null directly over it. (See Fig. 06)
G. Pinpointing Drill Sites
Set up the 508ST as described in Figure 01 and attach to the nearest receptacle.
Locate and mark the path of any signal near your drill site.If you have reason to believe
that other installations are present near your drill site, use procedures outlined in
Section 2C, Locating and Tracking Buried Wires.
The signal generated by the transmitter can be detected through walls and ceilings.
To pinpoint the transmitter's location (specific spot), wrap the alligator clip leads
around the 508ST, short leads together, turn transmitter on and secure it to the
opposite side of the wall or ceiling with tape.Scan the wall with the antenna flat against
the wall. (See Fig. 07) The peak signal will be heard when the antenna passes directly
over the transmitter location.
H. Determining Which Receptacles are on Specific
Circuits
Set up 508ST as outlined in Figure 01 and radius adjacent outlets with antenna.You
will have a tone at the receptacle/outlet that the circuit in question is on.If a clear signal
is not received, that outlet is not part of the circuit you are transmitting from.

I. Locating Alarm, Sound &
Computer Wires
To locate other wires, it is best to disconnect the
wire in question and directly attach only one
transmitter lead to the subject wire, letting the
other lead hang. Trace the path as outlined in
(Fig. 03).
J. Locating Hidden
Receptacles
To locate receptacles that have been covered up
by drywall, attach one transmitter lead to the wire
