boosted significantly by using the B2024 battery Pack. (Note: When
using the battery booster (B2024 or B2025) the unit will work in ultra
high “U-HI” mode only. Remove the battery booster to return to
normal operation.)
One typical application for the A2202 is to access the hot wire at the
panel in order to
identify the ‘downstream’ loads:
Plug A2202 into T-4000. Set signal level to ‘High’. 1.
Clamp the A2202 around the ‘hot’ wire. 2.
Set the R-4000CON to ‘OPEN’ mode and trace the downstream 3.
wiring. To trace buried lines, switch to ‘SHORT’ mode (See Locating
Outlets From The Breakers Panel on page 17)

‘Opens’ are dead-end conductors that are not connected to anything
and therefore do not pass current. To find an Open, use the T-4000
transmitter, R-4000CON receiver, and the alligator clip cord set. (Refer
to figure 15)
Plug the two banana plugs into the T-4000 1.
Connect one of the alligator clips or the grounding test lead to a 2.
separate ground.
Connect the other alligator clip to the conductor.
3.
Where possible, ground any other conductors sharing the same 4.
path as the Open wire.
Turn the T-4000 ‘ON’ by pressing the ON/OFF push button and
5.
select a signal level transmission by pressing the signal level push
button.
Turn the R-4000CON ‘ON’ by pressing the ON/OFF push button.
6.
Select ‘OPEN’ mode by pressing the MODE push button( the LED 7.
must be ‘ON’). Note: If the conductor is buried in moist soil, the
‘SHORT’ mode may give better results.
