2.1 AT-8000-RE Receiver
The AT-8000-RE Receiver detects the signal generated by the AT-8000-TE Transmitter along wires
using either the TIP SENSOR or SMART SENSOR
TFT LCD display.

30 V AC/DC) and provides an indication of the wire position and direction relative to the
Receiver. The SMART SENSOR
application the TIP SENSOR should be used in De-energized mode.
The TIP SENSOR may be used on either Energized or De-energized wires and can be used for
general tracing, tracing in tight spaces, locating breakers/fuses, pinpointing wires in bundles
or in junction boxes. The TIP SENSOR mode will pinpoint the wire location with both an
audible and visual indication of detected signal strength, but unlike SMART SENSOR
it will not provide wire direction or orientation.
Note: The Receiver will NOT detect signals from the wire through metal conduit or shielded
cable. Refer to Special Applications, section 4.4 "Tracing Wires In Metal Conduit" for
alternative tracing methods.
