This equipment should only be used by trained professionals who are familiar with electrical

hazards.
Wear lineman gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing at all times.

do not attempt to replace or remove the battery in the x1000 Transmitter until x1000 is

removed from the circuit and the cord set test leads are removed from the x1000 transmitter.
Always inspect the components and accessories for damage and proper operation befoRe

using. Replace any damaged components.
before connecting the x1000 Transmitter to a circuit, verify that the voltage, at the intended

point of contact, does not exceed 300VAC/dC.
Store the components in the case when not in use.

Remove the battery from the R1000 Receiver and x1000 Transmitter if the components will

not be in use for a long period of time.
before proceeding with any testing, confirm the x1000 is functioning correctly by switching

the x1000 to the “on” position. The battery indicator should flash. if the battery indicator
remains “off”, replace the battery.
Connections to the test circuit should be made after insertion of test leads into x1000.

ComPoNENT dESCRIPTIoN

R1000 Receiver
The R1000 contains two built-in detectors that are tuned to pick-up the 17khz signal generated
by the x1000. The detector is selected by the Mode Switch. The “open” position selects the
electrostatic (voltage potential) detector. The “CURRenT” position selects the electromagnetic
(current) detector. The selection of detector depends on the condition of the circuit to be traced.
The electromagnetic detector is set in one direction within the R1000 housing. The manner
in which the receiver is held, and the direction in which the detector is pointed, will vary the
amount of signal that is displayed and give the user an indication of the direction of the wire
being traced. This is particularly evident when the R1000 is in the “CURRenT” Mode. pointing
the receiver perpendicular to the wire, so that the front label faces the direction of the wire, will
yield the maximum signal displayed.
