Amprobe AT-8030 Offers

Ideal for keeping electricians safe, this wire tracer kit is CAT IV 600 V rated for the highest protection in a wire tracer. Electricians are protected from the most dangerous level of transient over voltage spikes up to 8000 V that are known to occur in industrial environments.

Features

• Trace energized and de-energized wires in walls, ceilings, floors and tight spaces
• Identify breakers and fuses
• Pinpoints shorts and opens
• Non-contact voltage mode and passive tracing
• High resolution 3.5" (89 mm) TFT LCD color display
• Three power modes:
• "High" power mode for normal circuits
• "Low" power mode for precision tracing in difficult areas
• "Loop" power mode provides a boosted signal using the signal clamp
• Two automatically selected frequency modes for optimal tracing on energized and de-energized circuits
• Signal clamp for inducing signal into wires without access to bare conductors
• Embedded help screens for easy, error free set-up

Smart Sensor™

Quickly and easily determine the precise direction and location of energized wires in walls, floors and ceilings with the patented Smart Sensor™. Combined with a fast signal processor that measures small changes in the detected signal multiple times per second with unmatched precision and ease of use for tracing energized wires.

Breaker and fuse identification

Combined with the powerful transmitter utilizing optimal frequencies for energized and de-energized tracing, the receiver's scan and locate feature identifies the one correct breaker or fuse with the highest recorded signal.

Tip sensor

The shape of the tip sensor allows tracing in hard to reach areas, corners and tight spaces, as well as precise circuit breaker and fuse identification. By utilizing two different types of antennas (inductive coil and capacitive), the tip sensor enables optimal tracing results of both energized and de-energized circuits, which are automatically selected by operating mode.

CAT IV 600 V safety rated

In harsh industrial environments where three-phase motors work to provide energy for many machines in large scale operations, protection from transient spike events is of high concern for electricians and facility maintenance. The kit introduces a standard of protection for those who work in industrial environments with a CAT IV 600 V rating, bringing electrical safety to another level.

Applications

Standard

• Trace energized and de-energized wires
• Identify breakers and fuses
• Non-contact voltage mode and passive tracing
• Ideal for older industrial environments where wire locations are not well documented

Special

• RCD-protected circuit wire tracing
• Find breaks, openings, and shorts
• Trace:
  • Wires in non-metallic pipes and conduits
  • Wires in metal conduit
  • Shielded wires
  • Underground wires
  • Low voltage wires and data cables
• Sort bundled wires
• Map a circuit using test leads connection
• Trace breakers/fuses on systems with light dimmers
• Signal clamp - closed loop/mapping circuits

Signal clamp

When there's no access to bare conductors, use the signal clamp to induce a signal into either energized or de-energized circuits for wire tracing and load locating. The transmitter's "loop" mode provides a boosted 6 kHz signal through the clamp to further improve accuracy and performance. Simply clamp around the desired wire to induce the signal, then begin tracing.

Trace wires inside conduit

Trace energized and de-energized wires enclosed in metal conduit by removing the junction box cover and use the receiver's tip sensor to identify the specific wire carrying the transmitted signal generated by the transmitter. Wires in non-metal conduit can be traced directly without opening the junction box and using the receiver's Smart Sensor™.

Non-contact voltage detection

The NCV feature extends functionality of the receiver by detecting energized wires from 90 to 600 V and 40 to 400 Hz without the use of the transmitter. Its adjustable sensitivity fits a range of applications, from detecting voltage (higher sensitivity) to precisely pinpointing line/phase wire in a bundle (lower sensitivity).
