OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TRANSMITTER DIRECT AND REMOTE GROUND CONNECTION METHODS
DIRECT GROUND:
In a direct ground connection, a plug or clips can
be connected to the hot and neutral wires on the same circuit.
NOTE:
While locating a breaker, the wires will not be as traceable due
to the cancellation effects of the wires running parallel.
REMOTE GROUND:
Preferred for optimum signal strength. To optimize
the transmitted signal and avoid cancellation effects which occur in a
direct ground connection, a remote ground connection should be used.
Attach the Ground Prong
B
to the 20' (6 m) Lead Adapter
E
and
connect to the ground of an outlet on a different circuit. Attach the red
Blade Prong
A
to the red test lead
D
and connect to the hot wire of
the circuit you are tracing.
NOTE:
This Remote Ground connection method will trip GFCI receptacles.
Several workarounds are available: Use the Direct Ground method,
connect directly to wires with alligator clips
C
, or de-energize circuit by
turning off breaker at the panel.
