DANGER! NEVER CONNECT TO LINES ENERGIZED
WITH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL CURRENT.
To increase safety, the ground lead should be attached first.
If there were an unknown high voltage running through
the target line, this would allow a means of redirecting the
current away from the transmitter and operator.
ALWAYS HOOK UP LEADS FIRST BEFORE POWERING THE
UNIT ON TO AVOID SHOCK.
ALWAYS TURN UNIT OFF BEFORE DISCONNECTING
LEADS.
3. Select a Frequency
The ST-510 line transmitter provides five frequencies:
128Hz
1kHz
8kHz
33kHz/93kHz
Figure 11: Frequency Selection
NOTE: For 93 kHz, press the 33 kHz button a second time.

4. Check the Circuit
More current gives a stronger signal. Less current prolongs
battery life.
To prolong battery life and reduce the chance of the signal
"bleeding over" onto adjacent lines, use the minimum amount
of current needed to get a clear reading on the receiver.
Look at the ohms (Ω) (resistance), the voltage (V) and the
current (mA) displayed on the screen. Generally the lower
the ohms (total resistance) the more efficiently current can
be added. Lower total resistance indicates an efficient circuit
and requires less voltage to illuminate the line.
NOTE: Ohms, current, power and voltage displayed are
approximate values.
The transmitter will beep faster if the resistance is lower, and
slower if the resistance is higher.
