Tracing Wires In Metal Conduit - Amprobe AT-6010 Guía Rápida

Special Application: Metal Conduit
Set-up:
1
Test Leads
Proper connection
with separate
ground
1. Connect the green and red test leads to
the Transmitter.
2. Connect the red test lead to the wire being
traced, Energized or De-energized. For receptacles,
make sure to connect the test lead to the hot wire.
The signal will only be transmitted between the
load-side to which the Transmitter is connected
and the source of power.
3. Connect the green wire to a separate ground.

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, and
it should be off for De-energized circuits below
30 V AC/DC.
3. HIGH signal mode is automatically activated
when the Transmitter is turned on.

1. Turn on the Receiver. Tracing mode is
automatically activated.

Tracing Wires in
Metal Conduit
1. Open junction boxes and use the Receiver
Tip Sensor to detect which wire in the
junction box is carrying the signal.
2. Move from junction box to junction box to
follow the path of the wire.
Important Notes:
Applying a signal directly to the conduit will send the
signal through all the conduit branches, making tracing
a particular conduit path impossible.
The Receiver is unable to pick up the signal from a
wire through a metal conduit. The metal conduit will
completely shield the tracing signal. The Receiver will be
able to detect wires in a non-metallic conduit. For these
applications follow general tracing guidelines.
