4. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
4.9 Sorting Bundled Wires
Identify a specific wire in a bundle
1. Connect the Transmitter as described in section 3.1. If connecting to an Energized wire,
make sure the Transmitter is connected on the load side.
2. Turn on the Receiver. Tracing mode is automatically activated.
3. One at a time, pull each wire away from the others and touch it with the Tip Sensor.
The strongest signal indicates the proper wire in the bundle.
4. Adjust the Receiver sensitivity as required with +/- buttons.
4.10 Mapping a Circuit using Test Leads Connection
Mapping a circuit can be only performed on a De-energized circuit when using test leads connection.
1. Switch the breaker to the OFF position.
2. Set up the Transmitter and Receiver as described in the section 3.1.
3. Scan face plates of receptacles and wires connecting loads with the Tip Sensor of the Receiver
4. All the wires, receptacles and loads that have a strong signal as indicated by the Receiver are
connected to the breaker.
