3. MAIN APPLICATIONS - ENERGIZED WIRES

3.1 Tracing Energized Wires

Connecting transmitter test leads
1. Connect the green and red test leads to the
Transmitter (polarity does not matter).
2. Using provided test leads accessories, connect the
red test lead to the line/phase wire being traced.
For Energized systems the signal will ONLY be
transmitted between the load-side to which the
Transmitter is connected and the source of power
(see Figure 3.1a).
3. Connect green lead to a separate neutral wire at
the RCD or at a connection point as close to the
RCD as it is possible.*
*Note: Please make sure that line/phase wire and
separate neutral are connected to the same RCD,
otherwise the RCD will trip.
Check if the voltage warning indicator is ON. Otherwise the
connection you have done is from line/phase to line/phase or
from neutral to neutral or circuit is de-engergized. In this case
redo the connection in the proper way.
TIP: The Transmitter, with the red test lead, can be directly connected to the live wire
of the working electrical equipment under load (motor, electronics, etc). Tracing can
be performed without needing to turn off the equipment or switching power off.
Set up the AT-8000-TE Transmitter
1. Press power button to turn on the Transmitter.
2. Verify that the test leads are properly connected; the red LED voltage status light should
be on for circuits with voltage above 30 V AC/DC.
Note: Make sure to use the separate neutral connection as described above.
3. Select HIGH signal mode by pressing HI for most applications. The Transmitter will appear
as shown in Figure 3.1c. The LED display will quickly begin to blink.
