Tm Mode - Amprobe AT-8000 Serie Manual De Usuario

3. MAIN APPLICATIONS - SMART SENSOR
Note: The LOW signal precision mode can be
used to limit the signal level generated by the
Transmitter in order to more precisely pinpoint
wire location. A lower signal level reduces
coupling to neighboring wires and metal objects
and helps to avoid misreading due to ghost
signals. A lower signal also helps to prevent
oversaturating the Receiver with a strong signal
that covers too large an area. The LOW mode
function is only used for the most demanding
and precise wire tracing applications.
Using AT-8000-R Receiver in Energized SMART SENSOR
The Smart Sensor enables easier wire tracing by showing the direction and position of the
TM
wire and is the recommended method for tracing Energized wires.
Note: The Smart Sensor
used instead.
Using AT-8000-R Receiver
1. Press power button to turn on the Receiver; home screen may take up to 30 seconds to load.
2. Select SMART SENSOR
ENTER button.
3. Hold the Receiver with the Smart Sensor
a red target then either no signal is detected or the signal is not adequate enough to display
direction. (Figure 3.1d). Move the Smart Sensor
detected and you see a directional arrow. If no signal is detected increase the sensitivity using
the "+" button on the Receiver.*
4. Move the Receiver in direction indicated by the arrow on the screen (Figure 3.1e).
5. A green target symbol indicates that the Receiver is directly over the wire (Figure 3.1f).
If the Receiver does not lock on the wire, decrease sensitivity using the "-" on the
keypad or set the Transmitter to transmit at LOW level for precision tracing.
6. Press ENTER when complete to return to the home screen.
*Note: For best results, keep the Receiver at least 3 feet from the Transmitter and its test leads
to minimize signal interference and improve wire tracing results. Select the "Long" Smart
Sensor Range in the Settings Menu if working with wires that are greater than 3 feet deep.
