2.2 AT-6010-TE Transmitter

The AT-6010-TE Transmitter works on Energized and De-energized circuits up to 600 V AC/DC in
Category I through Category III electrical environments.
Transmitter signal modes:
High Signal (Hi) – The HIGH mode function is recommended for most wire tracing applications
on Energized and De-energized circuits including breaker/fuse location. This function will be
used majority of the time.
Loop mode – This mode is initiated by short pressing On/Off button. Loop LED is On when this
mode is activated. It should be used when working with closed loop De-energized circuits, such
as shorted wires, shielded cables or De-energized wires that are grounded on the far-end.
How is the Loop function different from the Hi setting when using test leads?
HIGH mode (Hi) generates a signal in all open branches of the De-energized circuit. This is useful
when tracing open wires. Hi mode will NOT work on wires that are grounded on the far-end
because the signal cannot be generated.
Figure 2.2a: Generating a signal with HIGH mode
Loop mode generates a signal (current flow) in closed loop De-energized circuits only. Loop
mode is used to pinpoint the location of a short (because the current will not be able to flow in
open branches) and to trace wires that are grounded on the far end (because the loop is closed
via ground connection).
