connecting to energized wire, make sure the Transmitter is connected on the load side.
2. Select respectively Energized or De-energized TIP SENSOR mode on the Receiver. Pull
one wire out as far as possible from other wires in the bundle and touch it with the Tip
Sensor. The strongest signal indicates the proper wire in the bundle.
Note: In some special cases it may be necessary to connect all unused wires on the Transmitter
side to ground.
