Working with the Transmitter:
When the Transmitter is on and connected to the circuit with test leads, it checks for
voltage. A red Voltage Warning Indicator will light up if the Transmitter detects dangerous
voltage levels above 30 V AC/DC.

IMPORTANT!

The Voltage Warning Indicator light will blink when overvoltage (> 650 V AC/DC) is
detected. In case of overvoltage immediately disconnect the Transmitter from the circuit.
If the High (Hi) or Low (Lo) Signal button is pressed momentarily, the Transmitter starts
generating a tracing signal. Based on the detected voltage, the Transmitter automatically
switches to either:
• Energized mode (30 to 600 V AC/DC) generating 6 kHZ frequency
• De-energized mode (0 to 30 V AC/DC) generating 33 kHz frequency
Energized mode uses a lower transmission frequency (6 kHz) than De-energized mode
(33 kHz) to reduce signal coupling between wires. De-energized mode requires a higher
frequency in order to generate a reliable signal.
Energized mode: In Energized mode, the Transmitter draws a very low current from the
Energized circuit and generates a 6 kHz signal. This is a very important feature of the
Transmitter, since drawing current does not inject any signal that would harm sensitive
equipment connected to the circuit. The signal is also generated in a direct path between
the Transmitter and the power source, thus NOT placing a signal onto any branches enabling
wiring tracing directly back to the breaker panel. Please note that due to this feature, the
Transmitter has to be connected on the load side of the circuit.
De-energized mode: In De-energized mode, the Transmitter injects a 33 kHz signal onto the
circuit. In this mode, the signal will travel though all the circuit branches because it is
injected. The high frequency/low energy signal will not harm any sensitive equipment.
