Tracing Energized Wires - Smart SensorTM
TIP: For best results, keep the Receiver at least 1 m
(3 feet) from the Transmitter and its test leads to
minimize signal interference and improve wire
tracing results. Select the “Long” Smart SensorTM
Range in the Settings Menu if working with
wires that are greater than 1 m (3 feet) deep.
Receiver:
Energized Smart SensorTM Mode
The Smart SensorTM enables easier wire tracing by
showing the direction and position of the wire and is the
recommended method for tracing Energized wires.
Set-up:
Test Leads
Set-up:
Transmitter
1. Plug the green and red test leads into the Transmitter.
2. Connect the green wire to a separate neutral.
3. Connect the red test lead to the wire being traced,
For receptacles, make sure to connect the test lead to
the line/phase wire. For Energized systems the signal
will ONLY be transmitted between the load-side to
which the Transmitter is connected and the source
of power.
1. Turn on the Transmitter.
2. Verify that the test leads are properly connected;
the red LED voltage status light should be on for
circuits with voltage above 30 V AC/DC.
3. Select HIGH signal mode by pressing HI.

1. Turn on the Receiver and select SMART SENSORTM
mode using the directional arrows.
2. Hold the Receiver with the Smart SensorTM facing
the target area.
3. Move the Receiver in direction indicated by the
arrow on the screen. If the screen ashes a “?”
in a red target then either no signal is detected
or the signal is not adequate enough to display
direction; increase the sensitivity using the “+”
button on the Receiver.
4. Press ENTER when complete to return to the
home screen.

TIP: In Energized mode, align the groove on the Tip
Sensor with the wire direction for best results; the
signal may not be detected without this alignment.
De-energized mode uses a different antenna in the
Tip Sensor than Energized mode. Specic alignment
of the Tip Sensor groove to the wire is not required.
De-energized wire tracing results are based only on
how close the Tip Sensor is to the wire.

Tip Sensor Modes
Use this mode for pinpointing a wire in a bundle or
tracing in corners and confined spaces such as junction
boxes and inside enclosures.
1. Turn on the Receiver and select either Energized
or De-energized TIP SENSOR mode using the
directional arrows.
2. Hold the Receiver with the Tip Sensor facing the
target area.
3. Scan the target area with the Tip Sensor to nd the
highest signal level, then begin tracing the detected
wire. Increase or decrease sensitivity of the Receiver
by pressing + or - on the keypad as necessary.
4. Press ENTER when complete to return to the

Identifying Energized and De-energized Breakers and Fuses
Step 2 - 2LOCATE
1. Select LOCATE mode by using the
directional arrows.
2. Rescan each breaker by touching each with
the Tip Sensor for one second. Active red
arrow indicates scanning process. Scan all
breakers until solid green arrow and audible
alert (continuous beep) indicates that the
correct breaker was found.
3. Press ENTER when complete to return to
the home screen.
Step 1 - 1SCAN
1. Turn on the Receiver and select either
Energized BREAKERS mode or De-Energized
BREAKERS mode using the directional arrows.
2. Align the groove on the Tip Sensor with the
breaker/fuse lengthwise.
3. Scan each breaker/fuse by touching it with
the Tip Sensor. To assure sufcient time
between the scans, wait for active green
arrow and audible alert before moving to
the next breaker/fuse. The order of scanning
does not matter. You can scan breakers/fuses
multiple times. The Receiver records the
highest detected signal.
Receiver:
BREAKERS Mode
Tracing breakers/fuses is a two-step process:
1. SCAN - Scan each breaker/fuse for one second. The Receiver
will record tracing signal levels.
2. LOCATE - The Receiver will indicate the single breaker/fuse
with the strongest recorded signal.
Correct alignment of the
Tip Sensor to the breaker/fuse

NCV Mode
Receiver:
NCV Mode
The NCV (Non-ContactVoltage) mode is used to
verify that a wire is Energized. This method does
not require the use of the Transmitter.The Receiver
will detect an Energized cable if the voltage is
between 90V and 600 V AC and between 40 Hz
and 400 Hz.No current flow is necessary.
1. Turn on the Receiver and press the NCV button.
2. Hold the Receiver with the Tip Sensor facing the
target area.
3. Scan the target area with the Tip Sensor to nd the
highest signal level, then begin tracing the detected
wire. For precise pinpointing of line/phase wire
versus neutral wire, increase or decrease sensitivity
by pressing + or – on the keypad.
4. Press ENTER when complete to return to the
home screen.

Note: For safety, before working with wires, always
verify that they are De-energized with an additional
voltage tester.
