INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Lift tab on bottom end of clip to release end cap.

Slide 9 Vcc battery into compartment, terminal side first, matching (+) and (-) terminals from battery to case.

Slide the clip onto the receiver, pressing down on battery until both pieces snap together.

LOCATING A CIRCUIT

Note: A small percentage of circuit boxes are mounted with breakers oriented vertically. See diagrams for proper receiver orientation.

Connect the transmitter to a circuit you want to identify. The LED will blink approximately five seconds and then glow solid indicating the transmitter is functioning.

In a three phase application, the transmitter may be connected between any power line and neutral or from line-to-line in both wye and delta type power configurations. In no event may the Breaker ID Pro Transmitter be used where the voltage across the transmitter exceeds 277 Vca, as this will cause failure of the device with consequent damage beyond repair.

Go to the circuit panel. Turn on the receiver and hold it against the breaker as shown.
LOCATING A CIRCUIT - Holding the receiver

It is important to hold the receiver at an angle so that the entire CONTACT AREA of the receiver touches each circuit breaker.
LOCATING A CIRCUIT - Holding angle

Slowly scan the receiver over all breakers. This calibrates the unit. During this first pass while the unit is calibrating, the receiver may indicate more than one breaker. This is normal. If you have more than one panel, be sure to perform this step on each panel. Do not turn off the receiver.

Perform a second pass over the breakers. When the green LED glows and the buzzer sounds, you are directly over the breaker connected to the transmitter.
LOCATING A CIRCUIT - LED&buzzer indication

Turn off the breaker.
Verify that the red LED on the transmitter is off, indicating a dead circuit, before beginning work.

CLEANING AND STORING THE UNIT

Clean transmitter with dry cloth only. Do not expose product to liquids.

HELPFUL HINTS

Situation	Probable Causes	Solutions
No indication, i.e., no green LED and buzzer.	The breaker for that circuit is not in the box being scanned. Circuit not live. Transmitter is dead.	Scan the box that supplies that circuit. Turn on circuit. Call customer support at (800) 788-0233
Multiple indications on second scan	The first scan was performed too quickly.	Scan again, moving the receiver slowly. Be sure to keep the nose of the receiver close to the breaker and maintain proper orientation.
Tracing circuit connected to light fixture		Use an outlet adapter. Screw the adapter into the socket, then plug the transmitter into it. Or plug an extension cord into the adapter, then plug the transmitter into the extension cord.
Receiver indicates breaker above the correct one	Receiver is held horizontally with only the tip of the receiver contacting the breaker and not an angle (see illustration in LOCATING A CIRCUIT).	Hold the receiver at an angle so the entire CONTACT AREA of the receiver touches each circuit breaker (see illustration in LOCATING A CIRCUIT).
