The handheld receiver is the only device that requires a battery, which can be changed without tools. When the emitter is connected to a circuit, it draws power from the electrical current. I was able to use the device once I remembered that some of the two plug outlets have the upper plug controlled by a wall switch that must be turned on in order
You sort of, according to my understanding of your question. The only purpose of this is to identify the circuit breaker that controls the If you try to trace through a sub panel, it doesn't work at all and doesn't work well with GFCI protected circuits. The only thing I learned from it was that, at least in my house, there was It is imperative that the circuit you are trying to trace is active.

One important point to note is that you cannot locate the circuit breaker until the breaker is powered on and sending The problem may be difficult to locate if you have a bad circuit breaker or an ac receptacle or a disconnected wire. I found it cheaper than at Lowes, but only by a few bucks. The package was received undamaged after it was shipped.
I used this kit on three outlet circuits before the transmitter unit failed. It failed for no apparent reason, there was no short circuit, and nothing unusual happened. A strange response I received from Southwire when I complained about my product was, "This is not standard practice. " whatever that meant and no offer to investigate or replace the product. The customer service at Amazon was good, so I returned the product and received a refund. I cannot recommend this. You have a choice of a number of manufacturers.
I would say that this tool is of high quality. Besides the fact that a number of circuit breakers light up and beep as I move the wand across them, everything else works as usual. One by one, I switch off the circuit breakers but they seem to be shut off in the wrong order. There's a bit of a fail there, I believe.
I was surprised to find that this cannot be used for circuit tracking in a two-phase network This device does not come with an adapter, which is why it does not have a 3-pronged plug. Further, it is extremely bulky and large. There is no issue with fit and finish, and sensitivity seems to be adequate.
It worked like a charm. Rather than aiming it forwards, try holding it downwards rather than being 90 degrees (horizontal) from the circuit breaker box. This could give you strong measurements You'll obtain a singular result if you hold it at a 90-degree angle to the box.
Using my breaker finder after reading the instructions, I found my breaker. What a great way to start the day! You no longer have to guess which circuit breaker is the right one. I appreciate your kind words!.
can't get this thing to work to save my life. It's definitely not a product I would purchase again if I could.
I was very pleased with this product, it eased my life considerably. There is no way to figure out which breaker is broken in such a short amount of time. It seems this product gives the impression that time is precious, but in fact it stops because of the ease of using it.
