Amprobe AT-2000-A Series Quick Manual

The AT-2000-A series consists of individual components with unique capabilities. This label describes the capabilities
of the complete system (AT-2005-A). Any other system in this series can be upgraded to include all of these
capabilities by simply purchasing the additional components.
CAUTION: Always verify that the voltage presence is not beyond the range of the instrument. 300V Max
Identifying Circuit Breakers
Use R2000 & S2600-A (LSGs)
1. For 110V receptacle, connect pigtail cordset to LSG and plug into receptacle; for other voltages or connections,
use the Alligator-clip cordset.
2. The light will blink if connection is
correct.
3. Set the R2000's range to x1; mode to
'SHORT', and thumbwheel to around 5.
4. Hold R2000 near LSG to verify its
operation.
5. At the breaker panel, pass the R2000
over the load side of each breaker,
always reducing the sensitivity when
more than 9 LEDs are lit.
6. The strongest signal indicates the
proper breaker.
Locating Ground Faults
A ground fault is a direct connection of the conductor to ground. A typical ground fault may cause a tripped circuit
breaker or a blown fuse ( in contrast to an 'open', which passes no current). In this situation, the B2024 battery
can be used as the current source. The high voltage from the B2024 will overcome a high resistance fault and will
produce a stronger signal. Also, you can use line voltage as the power source by connecting the S2600-A across the
breaker.

LSG
Use R2000 & S2600-A (LSGs)
1. Plug the alligator clip cordset into the
LSG and connect one clip to ground.
2. Connect the other clip to one terminal
of a battery (at least 9V).
3. Using a separate jumper, connect the
other battery terminal to the faulted
wire.
4. Set the R2000 to the 'SHORT' mode
and adjust the sensitivity and range
switch until 8–9 LEDs are displayed.
5. Trace the wire. The fault will be at the
point where you begin to lose the
signal.
