4. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
4.7 Tracing Underground Wires
The AT-6000-EUR can trace energized and de-energized wires underground in the same way
it can locate wires behind walls or floors.
Perform tracing as described in Wire Tracing modes using spate ground connection. You can
use a hot stick attachment to make tracing more ergonomic and convenient.
4.8 Tracing Low Voltage Wires and Data Cables
The AT-6000-EUR can trace data, audio, and thermostat cables (to trace shielded data
cables, refer to section 4.6 "Tracing Shielded Wires").
Trace data, audio, and thermostat cables as follows:
1. Connect the AT-6000-TE transmitter using the separate ground method described in
section 3.1 "Wire Tracing".
2. Set the AT-6000-RE receiver in wire tracing mode and trace the wire (see section 3.1 for
further detailed set-up instructions).
4.9 Sorting Bundled Wires
Identifying a specific wire in a bundle
Connect the AT-6000-TE transmitter using Wire Tracing mode. If connecting to energized
wire, make sure the transmitter is connected on the load side. Select Wire Tracing mode
on the AT-6000-RE receiver. As far as it is possible pull one wire at the time way from other
wires in the bundle and touch it with the TIP sensor. The strongest signal indicates the
proper wire in the bundle. Adjust receiver sensitivity as required with +/- buttons.
Note: In some special cases it may be necessary to connect all unused wires on the
transmitter side to ground.
