Transmitter connection - Energized and De-energized systems
Connection of the Transmitter is the same for Energized and De-energized breaker/fuse locating.
Connecting the test leads
1. Connect the Transmitter using either simplified direct connection or separate ground connection.
2. If the simplified direct connection method is used, connect the test leads directly to
the hot and neutral wires. While locating a breaker, wires will not be traceable as the
signals will cancel each other out.
3. For separate ground connection, first connect the green lead to a separate ground, such
as a metal building structure, metal water pipe, or ground wire on a separate circuit.
4. Connect the red lead to the Energized hot wire on the load side of the system. The
signal will ONLY be transmitted between the outlet to which the Transmitter is
connected and the source of power.
Set up the AT-8000-T Transmitter
1. Press the power button to turn on the Transmitter.
2. Verify that the test leads are properly connected. The red LED voltage status light will
illuminate for Energized circuits with a voltage above 30 V AC/DC. If the voltage is
De-energized, the light will be off.
3. Select the HIGH signal mode for breaker/fuse locating.
