To counter this effect, consider making the
connection shown in Fig. 14. Use of a cable reel
can increase the transmitter’s effective radius to
10 ft. or more.
USING THE RECEIVER AS A
VOLTMETER
To use the receiver as a voltmeter:
1. Press the UAC button (Fig. 3, Callout 7). The
text UAC will appear at the bottom left of the
LCD.
2. Position the probe near a current-carrying line. The strength of the induced signal will be
indicated by the length of the received signal amplitude graphic (Fig. 4, Callout 9) and the
tone of the beeper (if not muted). The higher the voltage and the shorter the distance to the
circuit, the longer the graphic and the higher the beeper frequency.
3. If line voltage is detected, the familiar “Danger-AC Voltage” icon will also appear on the LCD,
on the top line.
