Page 8: How The 2011 Operates
How the 2011 Circuit Seeker™ Circuit Tracer Operates The 2011 is composed of two primary components: the receiver and the transmitter. When the transmitter is connected to any electrical line (up to 600 volts), it induces or draws a very small current in a unique manner depending on line conditions. The signal used is a crystal-controlled, precision combination of four separate frequencies. -
