Detection of circuit breakers
1.
Remove the circuit breaker box to uncover the wires.
2.
Adjust the receiver to a high sound.
3.
Move the sensor of the receiver along each wire of a circuit breaker. Note that the signal may be stronger in case of a few wires on the
same AC phase. When the sensor of the receiver touches the wire of the target circuit breaker, the sound stops (no sound point), while
the receiver emits the sound when the sensor is near either side of the testing wire.
4.
Move the sensor of the receiver near the sides of each wire. When the sensor is directly above the wire, the sound becomes high-
pitched; this is the peak signal point of the wire (approx.1–2 inches or 2–5cm above the wire). Hold the sensor in the peak sound point
and turn off the testing circuit breaker. If the sound signal stops, it means that the testing circuit breaker is the target circuit breaker.
Do not turn off the equipment that must not be interrupted.
To test the circuit breakers of such systems, scan all the phase wires entering the testing circuit breaker box. The receiver will emit the
sound when the sensor is near the sides of the testing wire; and the sound will stop when the sensor is directly above the testing wire.
Pinpointing for wall drilling
1.
Place the transmitter for one side of a wall to be drilled, and place the receiver from the other side of the wall.
2.
Connect the black alligator clip to a neutral wire of the electrical outlet. Clamp the red alligator clip to the phase wire of the electrical outlet.
3.
Move the sensor of the receiver near the wall surface, and mark the places where any signal has been received (near the expected drill points).
4.
Trace the buried wires or pipes, if necessary (see the description above). Mark the point on the wall as appropriate.
5.
To mark an exact point for drilling, trace the exact transmitter location: wind up the alligator clips around the transmitter, clamp the alligator
clips together, and fix the transmitter on the wall with an adhesive tape. Scan the opposite surface of the wall with the sensor of the receiver.
The peak sound signal will point at the exact location of the transmitter.
