2. INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Lift tab on bottom end of clip to release end cap.
Slide 9-V battery into compartment, terminal side
first, matching (+) and (-) terminals from battery
to case.
Slide the clip onto
the receiver, pressing
down on battery
until both pieces
snap together.
3. LOCATING A CIRCUIT
Note: A small percentage of circuit boxes are mounted
with breakers oriented vertically. See diagrams for
proper receiver orientation.
Warning: For indoor use only on standard 110–120 V
AC outlets.
Plug the transmitter into the outlet that needs to be turned off.
Verify that the red LED glows, indicating a live circuit.
Go to the circuit panel. Turn on the receiver
and hold it against the breaker as shown.
5. HELPFUL HINTS
It is important to hold the receiver at an angle so that the entire
CONTACT AREA of the receiver touches each circuit breaker.
Slowly scan the receiver over all breakers. This calibrates the unit.
During this first pass while the unit is calibrating, the receiver
may indicate more than one breaker. This is normal. If you have
more than one panel, be sure to perform this step on each panel.
Do not turn off the receiver.
Perform a second pass over the breakers.
When the green
LED glows and the buzzer sounds, you are directly over the
breaker connected to the transmitter.
Turn off the breaker.
Verify that the red LED on the transmitter is off, indicating a dead
circuit, before beginning work.
4. CLEANING AND STORING THE UNIT
Clean transmitter with dry cloth only. Do not expose product
to liquids.
Snap the transmitter and receiver together for storage.
Situation
Probable Causes
Solutions
No indication, i.e., no
green LED and buzzer.
Multiple indications on
second scan.
Tracing circuit connected
to light fixture.
Receiver indicates
breaker above the
correct one.
The breaker for that circuit is
not in the box being scanned.
The first scan was performed
too quickly.
Receiver is held horizontally
with only the tip of the receiver
contacting the breaker and
not an angle (see illustration
in Step 3).
Scan the box that supplies
that circuit.
Scan again, moving the receiver
slowly. Be sure to keep the nose of
the receiver close to the breaker
and maintain proper orientation.
Use an outlet adapter. Screw the
adapter into the socket, then plug
the transmitter into it. Or plug an
extension cord into the adapter,
then plug the transmitter into the
extension cord.
Hold the receiver at an angle so
the entire CONTACT AREA of
the receiver touches each circuit
breaker (see illustration in Step 3).
