Place the receiver near the cable bundle and move the receiver sensor along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in the close proximity to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity.
The closer the device is to the object, the louder the signal will be.

Electrical cable tracing

Use the alligator clip wire to connect the loose end of the testing electrical cable to the transmitter. The cable must be de-energized.
Plug the BNC-RJ11 adapter cable into the BNC connector (1) on the transmitter and then plug the other end of the BNC-RJ11 adapter cable into the telephone adapter (included). Plug the alligator clip wire into the other side of the telephone adapter. Clamp the black alligator clip on the black wire and the red alligator clip on the red wire of the testing electrical cable.
Select SCAN (Cable tracing) in the main menu and press the OK button (8).
Place the receiver near the cable bundle and move the receiver sensor along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in the close proximity to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity.
The closer the device is to the object, the louder the signal will be.

Coaxial cable tracing

Plug the loose of the BNC cable into the BNC connector (1) of the transmitter.
Select SCAN (Cable tracing) in the main menu and press the OK button (8).
Place the receiver near the cable bundle and move the receiver sensor along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in the close proximity to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity. Thecloser the device is to the object, the louder the signal will be.

Telephone cable tracing

Plug one end of a telephone cable to the telephone adapter (included) and connect the telephone adapter to the BNC-RJ11 adapter cable (included). Plug the BNC-RJ11 adapter cable to the BNC connector (1) of the transmitter. The other end of the telephone cable is connected to a telephone.
Select SCAN (Cable tracing) in the main menu and press the OK button (8).
Place the receiver near the cable bundle and move the receiver sensor along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in the close proximity to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity.
