Using AT-7000-R Receiver
1. Press ‘ON/OFF’ push button to turn on the receiver and wait for the home screen (boot
up time is around 30 seconds).
2. Select Energized TIP SENSOR mode by using the directional arrows to highlight this
operating mode and pressing the yellow “ENTER” button. Screen as shown in 3.1i will
appear.
3. Hold the receiver with the Tip Sensor facing the target area.
4. Scan target area with Tip Sensor to find highest signal level. While tracing, periodically
adjust sensitivity to keep signal strength near 75. Increase or decrease sensitivity
by pressing + or – on the keypad. If signal is too strong for precise locating, change
transmitter to LOW mode.
5. Receiver Positioning: For best results, align groove on tip sensor with wire direction as
shown. Signal may be lost if not properly aligned. (see Figure 3.1g)
6. To verify wire direction, periodically rotate receiver 90 degrees. Signal strength will be
highest when wire is aligned with Tip Sensor groove. (see Figure 3.1h)
7. Press ENTER when complete to return to Home screen.
Note: For best results, keep the receiver at least 3 feet from the transmitter and its test
leads to minimize signal interference and improve wire tracing results.
