4.6 Tracing Shielded Wires

Shielded wire prevents the AT-6000-RE from detecting a tracing signal when following the
standard user instructions. To effectively trace shielded wire follow these procedures:
If shielded wire is grounded at the far-end:
1. Setup Transmitter in Loop mode by pressing High button for 2 seconds. Verify that the
Loop LED is ON.
2. Disconnect the ground on the near-end of the shielded wire and connect the shield to
one of the terminals of the transmitter (polarity does not matter) with a test lead.
3. Connect the second output of the transmitter to a separate ground.
4. Set the receiver to wire tracing mode to trace the shield (refer to section 3.1).
If shielded wire is disconnected from ground at the far-end:
1. Setup the Transmitter in Wire Tracing mode (see section 3.1).
2. Disconnect the ground on the near-end of the shielded wire and connect the shield to
one of the terminals of the transmitter (polarity does not matter) with a test lead.
3. Connect the second output of the transmitter to a separate ground.
4. Set the receiver to wire tracing mode to trace the shield (refer to section 3.1).
