The R1000 is designed to display the signal strength visually with a series of four led’s, and audibly by emitting a pulsed tone. The R1000 is turned “on” and “off”, as well as varying the amount of signal strength that is displayed, by the Sensitivity Range Switch (off, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5).

(see fig. 4). When using the C2902, always connect to ground first and disconnect from ground last. Switch the R1000 Receiver “on” by sliding the Sensitivity Range Switch” to position 3 and set the R1000 Mode Switch to “CURRenT Mode”. Verify that the x1000 Transmitter is generating a current signal by placing the R1000 tip against one of the cord set leads.
Page 10: Locating Opens
LoCATINg oPENS “opens” are deenergized conductors that are not connected to a source or a load, and therefore do not pass current. first verify that the conductor is deenergized, using a voltmeter, then verify that it is open, with respect to ground and/or adjacent conductors, using an ohmmeter. Using the C2902 Cord Set, connect the x1000 Transmitter to the open conductor and a separate ground as shown in fig.
