Features of the Transmitter
Power Button: Press and release to turn the transmitter on. Press and release to turn the
transmitter off.
Power LED: Indicates that the transmitter is turned on.
Live Line LED: This LED illuminates when the transmitter is connected to a voltage of at least
12 VAC or 5 VDC.
Low Battery LED: This LED illuminates when approximately one hour of battery life is remaining
under typical use conditions. When this LED flashes, the batteries are nearly exhausted. Replace
them immediately.
Automatic Power Off: The transmitter will turn off after approximately four hours.
Features of the Receiver
The receiver is designed to be held in the user’s hand. The hand and body act as a ground plane
reference, which improves the sensitivity of the receiver. Without this ground plane reference, the
range of the receiver can be significantly reduced.
Relative Signal Strength indicators: This indicator is a series of red LEDs in a vertical strip that
illuminate starting from the bottom to the top when signal from the transmitter is sensed.
No LEDs means the signal is too low to detect at the current gain setting.
All seven LEDs will be illuminated when the signal is approximately equal to the maximum signal received.
Lower signal levels will illuminate fewer LEDs.
Gain Methods: Automatic or Manual Gain methods can be used to trace conductors.
Refer to the “Using different Gain methods to trace” section below for details.
Line Status: is LIVE when the transmitter is connected to a circuit powered by at least 12 VAC or
5 VDC. Line Status is OPEN when the transmitter is connected to a de- energized line.
Power Button: Press and release to turn the receiver on. Press and hold to turn the receiver off.
This button also serves as Signal Reset. The
Press momentarily to reset the receiver gain at any time.
Mode Selector button toggles the receiver between Breaker Mode and Search Mode. The
receiver is in Breaker Mode when it is initially powered on.
In Breaker Mode, weaker signals are ignored. A higher magnification factor is used for the
Relative Signal Strength portion of the display. A smaller signal range is required to change the
display from one LED to seven LEDs. Small changes in signal strength can be easily observed. This
mode is usually best for identifying circuit breakers and fully accessible conductors. It can also be
useful for tracing circuits or objects that are very close to the receiver, and for locating the exact
location of a break or short in a conductor.
In Search Mode, a wider range of signal strength is displayed. A lower magnification factor is
used for the Relative Signal Strength portion of the display. A larger signal range is required to
change the display from one LED to seven LEDs. This mode is usually best for locating and tracing
circuits, except when the traced object is very close to the receiver.
Using the Features
The green LIVE LED will illuminate it receives a LIVE signal from the transmitter.
There is overlap between the gain ranges of the Breaker Mode and Search Mode. The
recommended mode usually gives the desired results. Some applications may be found where
the alternate mode is preferred.
Signal Resetis used to re-establish a baseline gain
to the present signal level. If no signal is present, the gain is set to the highest level.

Using the Features (cont’d)
Using Different Gain Methods to Trace
The Auto Gain method is the easiest to use and is the default method of tracing indicated by the
the “SEARCH” or “BREAKER” green LED on the CS-5000 receiver blinking about 2 times per
second. Upon powering the unit, the receiver gain is initially set to maximum. When the
transmitter signal is detected, the gain is automatically decreased in proportion to the signal
strength. The detected signal is constantly monitored, and the gain is reduced further if a
stronger signal is detected. Gain is never increased when using Auto Gain. It is possible to
lose the signal if the receiver is moved too far from the actual path of the conductor. In
these cases, momentarily press the Power/Signal Reset button to return the gain to
maximum. This will restore maximum signal strength on the display and allow location of the
true path of the conductor. This step may be repeated several times when tracing a circuit.
The Manual Gain method is useful when making comparisons between the signals on two different
circuit breakers. It can also be used while tracing to provide a fixed signal reference. Varying signal
strength sometimes requires frequent resetting when using the Auto Gain method.
To switch from using the Auto Gain method to the Manual Gain method, press either the Manual
on the receiver while a signal is being received. The current mode LED,
“SEARCH” or “BREAKER”, stops blinking and stays illuminated. The receiver gain will remain at its
present value. Press Manual Gain
decrease the signal reference. The CS-5000 Manual Gain method uses several thousand steps to
cover its full range. This allows very precise control of the gain. To make large changes in the Manual
Gain setting, momentarily press the Power/Signal Reset button to align the Manual Gain which will
reset the current signal level. To establish a wide search window, momentarily press the
Power/Signal Reset button when the receiver is a distance away from the traced conductor. A
greater distance will produce a wider window. To establish a narrow search window, momentarily
press the Power/Signal Reset button when the receiver is close to the traced conductor.
Low Battery Indication: The red “BATT” LED is illuminated when approximately one hour of battery
life is remaining under typical use conditions.
Automatic Power Off: The receiver will turn off after 30 minutes of inactivity. Activity means a
change in signal level or pressing of the Power/Signal Reset button.

Theory of Operation
The CS-5000 transmitter is intended for connection to an electrical line (up to 600 volts) or
other metallic object. The transmitter signal consists of a controlled frequency with a specific
modulation and timing that is different for live and open circuits. This composite signal gives it a
specialized signature.
The transmitter signal generates a corresponding magnetic or electrostatic field signature around
the conductor being traced. This field signature is present the entire length of the conductor,
including breakers, fuses, switchgear, and transformers.
The CS-5000 receiver is tuned and programmed to pick up only the field signatures produced
by the transmitter. To be received, the signal must have this exact frequency, modulation, and
timing. This feature greatly reduces the possibility of interference from electrical noise, which is
often caused by lamps, appliances, fluorescent fixtures, or machinery that is on the same line.
Both the transmitter and the receiver are microprocessor-controlled for maximum ease of use
and accuracy.
Basic Operation
These instructions provide the user with a basic understanding of how the unit functions. These
tests are best performed at a desk or bench.

Basic Operation (cont’d)
Using the Transmitter and Receiver as a Set
1. Connect a cord to the transmitter. Push and release the Power button.
2. Hold the receiver approximately six inches from the cord, and then push and release the
receiver’s Power/Signal Reset button. The Relative Signal Strength Indicator will have all
7 red LEDs illuminated and there will be an audible signal.
3. Push and release the Mode Selector button to toggle to “SEARCH MODE.” Moving the unit
back and forth or to and from the transmitter cord will demonstrate how the Relative Signal
Strength LEDs operate. The tracing method is set to Auto Gain so it will fine tune, creating less
range but more definition as you get closer to the transmitter cord. The Relative Signal
Strength LEDs can be reset to full level at any time by pushing and releasing the
button.

to locate the panel. Proceed to step 3. If there are multiple panels of service, take the receiver
to the vicinity of the circuit breaker panel. Press the Mode Selector button to place the receiver
in Search Mode. If a signal is received, move the receiver toward the panel to produce an
increase in signal strength. Sweep the receiver around all four edges of the panel door to locate
the strongest signal. If there is more than one panel, repeat this process on all panels without
resetting the receiver. The panel with the strongest signal contains the circuit breaker or fuse
that is connected to the transmitter.
4. Move the receiver slowly over all the breakers in the panel. The breaker or fuse providing the
Move the receiver over all the breakers in the panel. The sensing surface of the receiver should
be in contact with the circuit breakers. Move the receiver in a straight line so it passes over the
same area of each breaker in the panel. The receiver may detect signal on several breakers

strongest signal (the most LEDs on the Relative Signal Strength display) is the one powering the
circuit that is connected to the transmitter. If there is more than one breaker with a strong
signal, sweep the receiver across the entire face of each of these breakers to find the precise
location of the strongest signal.
If there is any doubt as to which is the correct breaker or fuse due to unusual breaker design, mixed
types of breakers in the panel, wiring, or the possibility that two breakers are feeding the same
circuit, remove the panel trim and place the receiver’s sensing surface against each wire where it
connects to the breaker.
CS-5000
11
The CS-5000 can identify which circuit breaker or fuse controls a circuit. It can also identify
which panel contains the circuit breaker or fuse when there are several panels in the installation.
This procedure is most effective when the circuit is live because the transmitter signal is much
stronger on live circuits. If the panel controlling an open circuit can not be found using this
procedure, trace the circuit from the transmitter to the panel. Refer to the “Tracing Circuits and
Metallic Objects” section. Note that the transmitter must be connected using a separate ground
for best tracing results.
If the breaker or fuse can not be identified with the panel cover in place, remove the panel cover
and place the receiver’s sensing surface in contact with each wire feeding a breaker or fuse.
Connecting the Transmitter
1. To identify the breaker or fuse controlling a standard North American receptacle, connect the
adapter assembly to the transmitter. Insert the plug into the receptacle. Go to step 3.
2. To identify the breaker or fuse controlling other receptacles or circuits, use the appropriate
test leads and accessories. Refer to “Typical Applications.” Always connect to the ground or
neutral first, and then to the energized conductor.
3. Press and release the transmitter’s Power button.

Identifying Circuit Breakers or Fuses (cont’d)
IMPORTANT: Panel trim can distort the signal when locating breakers on the outside corners of
the panel. This can cause the CS-5000 receiver to sense a stronger signal level on the adjacent
breaker instead of the correct breaker in the corner. Before turning off or labeling any breaker
next to the corner breaker, confirm it is it is the correct breaker by removing panel trim and
repeating the slow sweep of all breakers in the panel. To verify the correct active breaker,
place the receiver’s sensing surface against each wire where it connects to the breaker.
You can also continue to follow the power line by locating the remote main breaker in the same
fashion. Since the signal is on a single-phase circuit, you can even find which leg of the breaker
is feeding the transmitter.
Tracing Circuits and Metallic Objects /
Finding Breaks and Shorts
The CS-5000 can perform a variety of tracing tasks on live circuits, open circuits, and other
metallic objects. It can also locate breaks and shorts in circuit conductors. These operations can
be performed on most wiring in shielded/metallic/non-metallic conduit using a separate ground.
When tracing open lines that are in metallic conduit, the conduit acts as a shielding object
and makes it very difficult for the transmitter signal to penetrate the conduit wall.
The connection and operation of the CS-5000 are similar for all these applications.
Connecting the Transmitter
The transmitter should use a separate ground unless it is connected to a live, GFCI-protected
circuit. A separate ground means connecting the transmitter to a ground that is physically
separated from the area of the wire to be traced. Conduit, outlet boxes, and wire trays carrying
the trace line do not create a separate ground path. If a separate or earth ground is not readily
available, a capacitive or “soft” ground to a metal chair or table may be used. Sensitivity and
range are reduced.
Use of a “hard” separate ground connection with a GFCI-protected circuit will cause the GFCI
device to trip. Tracing these circuits must be done with the transmitter connected to the line and
neutral, or using a “soft” ground.
Tracing a dead electrical circuit: Connect the transmitter to the ungrounded (“hot”) conductor. If
this conductor has an open, the transmitter may be connected to the neutral or ground conductor.
However, these conductors are more likely to have multiple connections that can make tracing
very difficult.
Tracing coax cable and other low-voltage wiring: Disconnect the cable at the point to be
connected to the transmitter. If the cable has a shield, connect the transmitter to this shield.
Otherwise, connect the transmitter to any convenient conductor. The cable may be grounded or
ungrounded at the far end, opposite the transmitter. The signal will be stronger if the far end is
grounded.
Tracing metallic conduit: The CS-5000 can trace metallic conduit if the conduit is grounded
only at the circuit breaker panel. Conduit in contact with metal will create multiple ground paths,
which cannot be traced.
Finding breaks and shorts: Trace the conductor to the location where the signal disappears.
This will be the location of the break or short. Breaker Mode can be used to locate the break or
short more precisely.
1. Connect the transmitter using the appropriate test leads and accessories. Refer to “Typical
Applications.” Always connect to the ground or neutral first, and then to the energized
conductor.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s Power button.

Tracing Circuits and Metallic Objects /
Finding Breaks and Shorts (cont’d)
Using the Receiver
The CS-5000 receiver incorporates multi-directional signal detection circuitry. It is not necessary
to rotate the receiver when following the path of the traced object.
Sorting Bundled Wires
The CS-5000 can sort unenergized wires that are bundled or run in the same conduit.
1. Connect the transmitter to the wire to be identified. Use a separate ground as described in
the “Tracing Circuits and Metallic Objects” section above.
2. Proceed to the other end of the bundle. Set the receiver to Breaker Mode. Hold the receiver
against each wire, pressing the
3. Hold the receiver against every wire a second time. The receiver should only show a strong
signal on one wire. This is the wire connected to the transmitter.
Note: If coupling between the wires makes it impossible to identify the wire connected to the
transmitter, return to the transmitter end of the bundle. Connect all wires to the separate ground
except the wire to be identified. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
Power/Signal Resetany time all 7 LEDs are illuminated.
Press and release the receiver’s Power button. Use the Mode Selector button to place the unit
in “SEARCH MODE.” Begin tracing near the transmitter, pressing the
suspected path of the traced object until you locate the signal. The receiver can pick up the
signal radiating directly from the transmitter, instead of the signal on the traced object. Trace a
short distance from the transmitter, and then press and release the Power/Signal Reset button.
Use the Manual Gain down button to lower the gain if all seven LEDs are illuminated in a wide
scan area. Use the Manual Gain up button to increase the gain if the signal becomes weak.
The receiver will indicate you are within tracing distance using the Relative Signal Strength LEDs.
If the signal is lost, press and release the Power/Signal Reset button to reset the gain to the
highest level.
Continue to adjust the gain as you follow the conductive path.
