2. KIT COMPONENTS 2.1 AT-7000-R Receiver The AT-7000-R Receiver detects the signal generated by the AT-7000-T transmitter along wires using either the TIP SENSOR or SMART SENSOR and displays this information on the full color TFT LCD display. Active tracing using a signal generated by the AT-7000-T Transmitter The SMART SENSOR works with a 6 kHz signal generated along energized wires (above 30V AC/DC) and provides an indication of the wire position and direction relative to the receiver. - Page 9 2.

Page 12: Sc-7000 Signal Clamp (At-7030 Kit)
The clamp accessory is used for applications when there is no access to the bare conductors. The clamp attachment enables the AT-7000-T Transmitter to induce a signal through the insulation into either energized or de-energized wires. The signal will travel through the wire in both HAND GUARD directions and into all the branches. -

(with opposite direction) through the second one. This causes creation of two electromagnetic fields around each wire with opposite direction. These opposing fields will partially or completely cancel each other out, making wire tracing difficult if not impossible. AT-7000-R Not recommended. This wire connection causes... -

The simplified direct connection to hot and neutral wire will NOT trip the GFCI circuit. Set up the AT-7000-T Transmitter: 1. Press ON/OFF key to turn on the transmitter. 2. Verify that the test leads are properly connected - the red LED voltage status indicator should be on, indicating that the circuit is energized. - Page 21 3. MAIN APPLICATIONS - BREAKERS (Energized) Step 1 - SCAN: 1. The unit will automatically start in SCAN mode as shown in Figure 3.3b. 2. Scan each breaker for a half second by touching it with the Tip Sensor. Make sure the groove on the Tip Sensor is parallel to the breaker lengthwise (See Figure 3.3d) 3.

2. Use steps described in the De-Energized TIP SENSOR mode to connect the transmitter and perform tracing. (see section 3.2) The tracing signal generated by the AT-7000-T transmitter will be conducted along the wire as long as there is continuity in the metal conductor. To find the place of fault, trace the wire until the signal stops. -
Page 25: Finding Shorts
Connect the circuit as shown in the illustration below. AT-7000-T Setup the receiver to Energized TIP SENSOR mode. Start tracing the cable until you find the location where the signal stops. To verify the place of the fault, move the transmitter to the other end of the wire and repeat tracing from the opposite end. -
Page 26: Tracing Wires In Metal Conduit
4. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS 4.4 Tracing Wires in Metal Conduit The AT-7000-R receiver will not be able to pick up the signal from the wire through the metal conduit. The metal conduit will completely shield the tracing signal. Note: The receiver will be able to detect wires in non-metallic conduit. For these applications follow general tracing guidelines. -
Page 27: Tracing Underground Wires
4. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS 4.7 Tracing Underground Wires The AT-7000 can trace wires underground, the same way it can locate wires behind walls or floors. Perform tracing as described in Energized SMART SENSOR mode or Energized / De-Energized TIP SENSOR modes. -
Page 28: No Access To Bare Conductors (Signal Clamp)
When clamp is connected to the transmitter, it enables the AT-7000-T to induce signal to energized or de-energized wire through the insulation. The signal will travel through the wire both directions and it will affect all the branches. This method is safe to use for any sensitive electronic equipment. -

Access to Bare Conductors (Inductive Clamp)’. 3. Scan face plates of receptacles and wires connecting loads with the TIP Sensor of the AT-7000-R. If using on a de-energized system you must set the receiver to de-energized TIP SENSOR mode. 4. All the wires, receptacles and loads that have a strong signal as indicated by the AT-70000-R are connected to the breaker. -
