HotWire Fox Control Description
1) Function Switch
The Function Switch has 3 settings…… OFF / VOLTAGE TEST, TRACE / BATTERY TEST, and CONTINUITY
BEEPER.
a) In the OFF / VOLTAGE TEST setting, the HotWire Fox is turned off (not using any battery power) and is
configured to test for AC or DC voltage on its Test Leads. If AC or DC voltage is detected (see Specifica-
tions for details), the beeper sounds and the VOLTAGE LED flashes.
b) In the TRACER TONE setting, the HotWire Fox is turned on and generating the tracer signal. The BAT-
TERY TEST / CADENCE LED flashes to indicate that the battery is OK.
c) In the CONTINUITY setting, the HotWire Fox is configured to test for DC Continuity between its test
leads. If Continuity is detected, the beeper sounds.
2) UNLOCK Button (Power Latch)
The HotWire Fox Function switch incorporates a Power Latch feature to prevent the product from ac-
cidentally being turned on, which could result in a dead battery. When the HotWire Fox is turned off, its
Function switch is locked into the OFF / VOLTAGE TEST position. To turn the product on, the UNLOCK but-
ton must be pressed, and while the button is pressed, the Function switch is moved to the TRACER TONE
position, at which time the UNLOCK button may be released. When the Function switch is returned to the
OFF / VOLTAGE TEST position, the switch will lock in this position, requiring the user to once again press
the UNLOCK button to turn the product on.
3) BATTERY TEST / CADENCE LED (green)
When in the TRACER TONE mode, this LED flashes to indicate that the battery is OK. If the LED does not
flash, replace the battery. The flashing speed of the LED indicates if the cadence of the tone is fast or slow.
