Household / industrial installation
Make sure that the cable you are looking for is free of voltage.
Slide the switch on the transmitter to the "TONE" position.
Switch on the receiver by turning the rotary control to the middle position. Guide the sensor close
to the connection cables of the transmitter. As the sensor approaches the connection cable of the
