Proper connection
with separate
ground
1. Plug the green and red test leads into the Transmitter.
2. Connect the green wire to a separate ground.
3. Connect the red test lead to the wire being
traced. For receptacles, make sure to connect the
test lead to the line (hot) wire. For Energized
systems the signal will ONLY be transmitted
between the load-side to which the Transmitter is
connected and the source of power.

TIP: For best results, keep the Receiver at least 3
feet from the Transmitter and its test leads to
minimize signal interference and improve wire
tracing results. Select the "Long" Smart Sensor
Range in the Settings Menu if working with wires
that are greater than 3 feet deep.
