HOW TO USE THE PROBE
The probe of the Receiver is built of coiled steel and may be bent as
needed, in order to reach wires in congested or difficult areas.
Depending on the circuit characteristic and sensitivity settings, the probe will
pickup the signal from the wire in a range of positions.
However, for the best possible range the Receiver's probe tip (black cap)
should be positioned perpendicular (at 90°) to the wire being traced and
either above or below it.
(see figure on the right side)
SETTING SENSITIVITY
To turn on Receiver or increase its sensitivity, turn the Rotary Switch of receiver clockwise.
To turn off Receiver or decrease its sensitivity, turn the Rotary Switch anticlockwise.
WIRE TRACING
Note: Observe the limits and safety precautions at all times.
1.
Set the switch of Sender to "TONE", the red LED of Sender lights. lf the red LED doesn't light,
please check the battery.
2.
Switch Receiver on, set the rotary switch in middle position.
3.
Press and hold Test Button, meanwhile move the sensor close to the test lead of Sender.
Receiver receives the signal and give audio signal. lf so, it means that the unit works correctly.
4.
Connect the black test lead to the circuit's positive supply (or to the negative for vehicles with
positive supply connected to chassis).
5.
Connect the red test lead to the wire to be traced. A fuse socket (in place of the blown fuse),
connector, etc. is convenient place.
6.
Set the rotary switch in middle position.
7.
Press and hold TEST button, meanwhile move the probe as close as possible to the wire to be
traced. The Receiver's sensor should be positioned perpendicular (at 90°) to the wire being
traced and either above or below it.
8.
Receiver gives audio signal. Trace the wire by following the audio signal of Receiver. lf you move
the probe away from the wire, the audio signal will decrease and then disappears.
9.
lf it is difficult or impossible to get the Receiver to pick-up any signal, please increase the
sensitivity and try again. For the suspectable place, check it twice. (see Fig.2 & 3)
10. When you finish tracing, disconnect the test leads connections, set the Sender's switch in OFF
position. Loose TEST button.
