Zircon Breaker ID - Circuit Breaker Finder Manual

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

ZIRCON^® CIRCUIT BREAKER FINDERS WORK BY SENSING AN ELECTRONIC SIGNAL FROM THE TRANSMITTER.

• Always use a new 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date at least 3 years beyond the current date. Match battery direction to image inside of battery cavity.
• Readings should always be consistent and repeatable.
• Zircon circuit breaker finders should be used in a dry environment.
• Compatible with aluminum and copper circuit wiring.
• Clean transmitter with dry cloth only. Do not expose product to liquids.
• If the device is used in a manner not specified here, then the protection provided by the device may be impaired.
• This device possesses a 2-prong (NEMA 1) single input/output connection designed to plug into a standard North American outlet.
• No part of this device may be replaced or repaired by anyone other than the manufacturer.
• 110–120 V AC, 60 Hz, 3 w maximum.
• Device must be used on a live circuit.

TROUBLESHOOTING & CONSTRUCTION TIPS

OVERVIEW

INSTALL BATTERY

1. Remove the Receiver battery cover by lifting (a) and sliding (b) as shown.
   NOTE: If the clip is too tight to move easily, use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry open.
2. Slide a new 9-volt alkaline battery into the compartment, terminals first, matching + and − on the battery with the markings in the compartment.
3. Slide the cover back on the Receiver until it snaps in place.

LOCATE A CIRCUIT

1. Fold out the Retractable
   Plug on the bottom of the Transmitter, then plug it into the outlet to be identified. (Figure A)
   Verify that the Red LED glows (this indicates a live circuit).
   
   
2. At the circuit panel, turn the Receiver to ON.
3. Slowly scan all breakers while holding the Receiver at an angle that gives maximum contact between the Contact Area and the breaker. (Figure B)
   The Contact Area must touch each breaker during the scan.
   The first scan calibrates the tool. During first scan, the receiver may indicate more than one breaker. This is normal. If there is more than one panel, perform this step on each panel without turning the Receiver off.
   
   
4. Perform a second pass over the breakers to identify the breaker.
   When the Green LED glows and the buzzer sounds, the Receiver is directly over the breaker for the outlet where Transmitter is plugged in.
   
   Note: Some circuit boxes are mounted with breakers oriented vertically. See Figures C and D for proper Receiver orientation for horizontally or vertically oriented breakers.
   
   
5. Once the correct breaker is identified, turn it off and label for future reference.
6. With the Transmitter still plugged in, verify that the Red LED on the Transmitter is off, indicating a dead circuit, before beginning work.
   
   For indoor use only on standard 110–120 V AC outlets.

STORE THE TOOL

Before storing:

1. Fold the Retractable Plug up into the Transmitter.
2. Snap the Receiver into the Transmitter Cavity. The cavity is designed to protect the Contact Area when not in use.
   Use a dry cloth to clean the Circuit Breaker Receiver and Transmitter.
   Do not expose the tool to liquids.
