No problem, gotcha - Circuit Tester

My last CB search task was unusual in that it is a very old, very large building with 2 main panels and 3 secondary panels. This type of CB crawler does not always give a clear answer, so a different, older type of crawler is sometimes required. We ended up using 3 different finders on some problematic circuits. HOWEVER, this seems to be the best of the various brands and models. for this category tool. The Klein I had had a problem because it accidentally turned on too much. They may haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • FAST AND EASY CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION: Take the guesswork out of finding the right circuit breaker for your outlet or light fixture. Clearly identifies circuit breakers and fuses without disrupting operations.
Cons
  • Unusable Functions

Watch out for AFCI circuit breakers tripping.

I was at a friend's house trying to identify the switch that powered the socket in the bedroom. When I plugged in the transmitter, the UPS in the room started beeping like there was a power outage in the room. I tried turning on a light plugged into a different outlet to make sure I had just lost power throughout the room. The light wouldn't come on, so I went to the panel in the garage and saw that one of the AFCI switches was in the off (middle) position. So I turned it off and on again andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • RECEIVER AUTO SHUTDOWN: The receiver turns off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity. Low battery detection ensures the device is always charged and ready to go. When the battery voltage is below 7.3 volts, the receiver will beep 3 times and turn off.
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

This is a great machine for the money!

I read reviews on this unit and several others before buying it, for 3 reasons: 1: The unit was made by Ideal and I have used Ideal products for decades with no problems. I don't expect anything less from that. 2: The price was higher than some others, but being an Ideal I felt the extra money was well spent. 3: The features described will do exactly what I need if it works as promised: if it does then the price was worth it. I received it today and put it to use for testing. Back at theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT ID: Proper wiring is critical to the safety and performance of branch circuits. From a safety point of view, the risk of electric shock and fire is mainly due to poor installation or the failure of protective devices such as ground fault circuit breakers.
Cons
  • I don't remember
