Get accurate results in minutes with new features and technologies that simplify wire tracing and breaker identification. The Receiver’s patented Smart Sensor, ™ with its innovative new antenna design and advanced signal processor, clearly displays the location and orientation of energized wires in walls, floors and ceilings on the large color TFT LCD screen. The powerful Transmitter utilizes two optimal frequencies for both energized and de-energized wire and breaker tracing, delivering consistently accurate results for novice users and experts alike. The new Scan and Locate feature clearly identifies the one correct breaker or fuse, eliminating the confusion from multiple false positive readings common in older technology tracing tools.
Amprobe AT-7000-R Receiver, AT-7000 WIRE TRACER
The AT-7000-R Receiver detects the signal generated by the AT-7000-T transmitter along wires using either the TIP SENSOR or SMART SENSOR and displays this information on the full color TFT LCD display.
The Amprobe AT-7000-R traces energized and de-energized wires enclosed in metal conduit. By removing the junction box cover and using the AT-7000-R Receiver’s Tip Sensor, users can identify the specific wire carrying the transmitted signal generated by the AT-7000-T Transmitter. Wires in non-metal conduit can be traced directly without opening the junction box and using the AT-7000-R Receiver’s Smart Sensor.
The NCV feature extends functionality of the AT-7000-R Receiver by detecting energized wires from 90 to 600 V and 40 to 400 Hz without the use of the AT-7000-T Transmitter. Its adjustable sensitivity fits a range of applications, from detecting presence of voltage (higher sensitivity) to precisely pinpointing a hot wire in a bundle (lower sensitivity).
Active tracing using a signal generated by the AT-7000-T Transmitter
The SMART SENSOR works with a 6 kHz signal generated along energized wires (above 30V AC/DC) and provides an indication of the wire position and direction relative to the receiver. The SMART SENSOR is not designed to work on de-energized systems; for that application the TIP SENSOR should be used in de-energized mode.
The TIP SENSOR may be used on either energized or de-energized wires and can be used for general tracing, tracing in tight spaces, locating breakers, pinpointing wires in bundles or in junction boxes. The TIP SENSOR mode will pinpoint the wire location with both an audible and visual indication of detected signal strength, but unlike SMART SENSOR mode it will not provide wire direction or orientation.
Note: The receiver will NOT detect signals from the wire through metal conduit or shielded cable. Refer to Special Applications, section 4.4 “Tracing Wires In Metal Conduit” for alternative tracing methods.
Tip Sensor
The shape of the tip sensor allows tracing in hard to reach areas, corners & 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.
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, this new technology provides unmatched precision and ease of use for tracing energized wires.
Tracing Wires in Walls, Ceilings and Floors
Quick and Easy Wire Tracing with the Smart Sensor
Tracing wires can be a challenge. The Amprobe AT-7000 makes tracing energized wires easier and more accurate than ever before. The Smart Sensor’s™ patented sensor array and advanced signal processor provides instant feedback of wire location and direction on the large TFT LCD color display. Easily determine the direction and orientation of wires in walls, floors and ceilings up to 2 in/5 cm accuracy.
Identifying breakers and fuses
Clear and Accurate Breaker Identification
Combined with our powerful transmitter utilizing optimal frequencies for energized and de-energized tracing, the new Scan and Locate feature identifies the one correct breaker or fuse with the highest recorded signal. This eliminates the confusion from multiple false positive readings common in older technology tracing tools.
