4. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
4.7 Tracing Underground Wires
The AT-6000 can trace Energized and De-energized wires underground the same way it can
locate wires behind walls or floors.
Perform tracing using a separate ground connection. The HOT STICK (TIC 410A) attachment can
be used to make tracing more ergonomic and convenient.
Figure 4.7: Tracing Underground Wires
4.8 Tracing Low Voltage Wires and Data Cables
The AT-6000 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
1. Connect the Transmitter using the separate ground method (see section 3.1).
2. Set the Receiver to a wire tracing mode and trace the wire.
4.9 Sorting Bundled Wires
Identify a specific wire in a bundle
1. Connect the Transmitter and set to a wire tracing mode. If connecting to an Energized
wire, make sure the Transmitter is connected on the load side.
2. Select a wire tracing mode on the Receiver.
3. One at a time, pull each wire away from the others and touch it with the Tip Sensor. The
strongest signal indicates the proper wire in the bundle.
4. Adjust the Receiver sensitivity as required with +/- buttons.
