HOW TO TRACE DEAD AND SHORTED
CIRCUITS
Prior to plugging the transmitter into the circuit to be traced,
use an approved voltage tester, such as the Greenlee 6706,
6708, or 6709, to determine the voltage present. If the voltage
is less than 300 volts AC or DC, you may continue.
Do not connect the PowerFinder to power in excess of 300
volts! Connecting to more than 300 volts will cause damage to
the unit.
EXAMPLE 5
A Dead Circuit
A DEAD circuit caused by an open breaker or blown fuse can be
traced by utilizing the dead circuit's neutral.
1) Take power from a battery of 9 volts or greater potential and
return it through the neutral of the dead circuit as follows:
Connect one lead of the transmitter adapter plug to a known
ground, and the other lead to the battery.
Connect the other side of the battery to the dead circuit's
neutral using the test lead provided, as shown on the following
page.
