AT-2002 Industrial Circuit Tracer- includes R2000 Receiver and S2600 Load Signal Generator (9-600 volts AC or DC).
  • Page 5 Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 LIMITED WARRANTY Congratulations! Your new instrument has been crafted according to quality standards and contains quality components and workmanship. It has been inspected for proper operation of all of its functions and tested by qualified factory technicians according to the long-established standards of our company.

  • Page 6: Component Description

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION R2000 Receiver Has two built in detector that are tuned to pick up the 32.768khz signals generated by any of the other devices in the AT-2000 family: S2300, S2600, T2200, A2201. The R2000 is designed to display the signal's strength to enable quick locating of the conductor carrying the signal.

  • Page 7: Using The R2000 Receiver

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 Using the R2000 Receiver 1. Turn the R2000 'ON' by rotating the thumbwheel and leave it around position '5'. 2. Move the range switch to x1 (this is the least sensitive setting). 3. Place the mode switch into the appropriate position and aim the R2000 properly (see illustration below).

  • Page 8: S2300 And S2600 Load Signal Generators (Lsg's)

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 S2300 and S2600 Load Signal Generators (LSG's) When connected to an energized circuit, the LSG's will rapidly turn them- selves on and off. This causes a slight, periodic current fluctuation that causes the power line to emit its own, trace-able signal, this signal can be detected all the way back to the main generator.
  • Page 9 Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 The signal that generated is present at all points around the circuit. An LSG connected to a 220V outlet via the EU-200 cordset (throne with the 220V) will cause an incoming signal on the neutral wire as well as an outgoing signal on the hot wire.

  • Page 10: Using The S2300 And S2600 Load Signal Generators (Lsg's)

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 Easy tracing of wires and buried cable is accomplished by simply separating wire from the return path (ground). Instead of using the neutral wire or the conduit as the ground, use the EU-200 Alligator clip cordset and attach one clip to separate ground such as a water pipe or a ground rod.

  • Page 11: T2200 Transmitter

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 T2200 Transmitter The T2200 injects a signal onto a conductor. This signal will travel along the conductor until it ends. Primarily used for finding breaks in hidden or buried conductors, the T2200 will also allow you to trace wires and locate shorts as long as the lines are unenergized.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 4. Select power level and switch to 'ON' - The light should blink. 5. Trace the wire with the 2000. The signal will stop at the break in the wire. A2201 Clamp-On Transmitter Accessory Enables the T2200 to induce its signal onto an unenergized or energized circuit.

  • Page 13: Using The A2201 Clamp-On Transmitter Accessory

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 Using the A2201 Clamp-on transmitter Accessory The A2201 will allow non-contact signal indication onto energized or non- energized conductors. On energized lines, the signal will propagate downstream to the end of the circuit, provided there is current flowing in the circuit.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 EU-200 sensing lines with test prods and alligator clips Fig. 13 APPLICATION NOTES Finding Opens 'Opens' are dead-end conductors that are not connected to anything and therefore do not pas current. To find an open, use the T2200 transmitter, R2000 Receiver, and the alligator clip cordset.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 signal on the R2000. 10. Starting from the T2200, trace the conductor. When in the 'SHORT' mode, be sure to rotate the R2000 while tracing to maintain proper orientation in case the wire changes direction. The open will be at the point you begin to lose the signal.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 Also, you can use line voltage as the power source by connecting the LSG across the breaker. 1. Plug the alligator clip cordset into the LSG. 2. Attach one clip to the faulted wire and the other to one terminal of a battery (minimum 9V), or the hot side of the breaker.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 Fig. 16 Identifying Circuit Breakers Locating Circuit Breakers or Fuses Caution: Always check to make sure the line voltage DOES NOT EXCEED the range of the LSG - S2300: 9-300V, S2600: 9-600V. 1. Connect the LSG to the circuit as shown using either the C2901 Pigtail Cordset for 220V receptacles or the C2902 Alligator Clip Cordset.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 receptacle, use the AD-1 Adapter to access the hot wire and the water pipe or such for the ground, as shown in fig. 5 on page 9. 4. Starting at the lowest sensitivity setting, x1, circle the area with the R2000 in the 'SHORT' mode.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 Fig. 17 Short to Ground 2. A) Connect the alligator clip cordset to the T2200. B) Attach one clip to one wire and the other to the circuit's return path (for a line to neutral short, use the neutral wire).

  • Page 20: Locating Outlets From The Breaker Panel

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 NOTE: In some instances, capacitive coupling may occur which can cause other wires to emit the signal, making it difficult to identify the proper wire. In this situation, switch the LSG to 'LOW and try again, If this doesn't work, disconnect power and use a 9V battery as the power source and attach similar to the 'ground fault' set-up.

    Amprobe Europe GmbH AT-2000 Locating Buried Conduit or Metal Pipe 1. Connect the A2201 Clamp to the T2200 transmitter and then clamp it around the conduit or pipe. 2. Use the B2024 battery or the BV2025 Converter is recommended. Plug either one into the jack on the side of the T2200.
