- Page 10 When connecting to a circuit as a load, the signal will be present anywhere between the T-4000-A and the power source. Line side or upstream, no signal will be present on wiring on the other side of the transmitter (load side or downstream). For example, a transmitter connected to a circuit breaker will produce no signal on that circuit.

without the need for direct connection. (Note: When using the battery booster (B2024 or B2025) the unit will work in ultra high “U-HI” mode only. Remove the battery booster to return to normal operation.) B2024 Battery Pack 24 V Nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery pack is custom designed to be light weight, small, and durable. -

8. Select the ‘HIGH’ sensitivity by pressing the SENSITIVITY push button (the LED must be ‘ON’). 9. Starting from the T-4000-A, trace the conductor. The open will be at the point you begin to lose signal. At that point, select the ‘MID’ sensitivity mode (the LED must be ‘blinking’) in order to pinpoint the exact location of the Open. -

2. Attach one clip to the faulted wire and the other one to ground. 3. Press the signal level push button and select the appropriate level. 4. If possible, ground all adjacent conductors. 5. The R-4000 receiver can then be used to trace the wire. The signal should remain relatively constant until you pass the ground fault. -
