Tracing Wires - Ideal 61-955 Manual De Instrucciones

2) Turn on the receiver and go to the panel.
a) If more than one panel exists, set the receiver to
each panel cover until the panel with the strongest signal is identified.
b) If the receiver is detecting more than one panel with a strong signal, reduce the
sensitivity range and repeat the step above.
3) Open the panel cover, set the receiver to Breaker
positioned on its side to orientate the antenna properly.
4) Slide the nose of the receiver down each breaker in the panel. The breaker with the highest
numeric reading is the correct breaker.
If two or more breakers have the same numeric values, tip the nose of the receiver up
and then down at 45º angles and note the numeric values on each of the questionable
breakers. Only the correct breaker will show a strong signal in all positions. Or, pull
the panel cover, and place the nose on each of the individual hot wires for a more
certain determination.
5) When the correct breaker is tripped (opened), the signal will drop significantly. And, the
will disappear from the receiver's display. The

Tracing Wires

Applications include finding the locations of cable runs and identifying other devices and loads
on the circuit.
1) Connect the transmitter to the circuit to be traced and power it on.
a) For optimal tracing, leave the circuit energized to create a closed loop.
b) If the circuit is de-energized, then connect transmitter to the neutral and ground
conductors to create a closed loop.
2) Turn on the receiver and use the default maximum sensitivity (
3) Starting several feet from the transmitter, use a sweeping motion and the back of the
receiver to find the strongest signal location behind the wall, above the ceiling, or under
the floor.
