Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

I used my HTP-6 Circuit Detective for the first time yesterday. The instructions seemed simple; however, I went to the web site and watched a video demonstrating how to use it. I thought things were progressing well until I checked the circuits by closing the breakers involved. The HTP-6 was wrong as often as it was right. So, what is the point? Perhaps I have a defective unit. Still, now that I have done the legwork and identified all of the breakers associated with all of the outlets and fixtures in my home, does anyone want to buy a once-used HTP-6 Circuit Detective which may or may not get you electrocuted?

Very God Device

WORKED JUST FINE

works pretty well on newer romex wiring

This works great once you remember to scan the panel one time then it shows correct breaker fine. Get a hard case and accessory kit to allow checking bare wire or light socket. As other reviewers have noted the power button is not protected and will constantly turn on unit when it is stuck in a tool bag. Runs battery dead after a year. So get the hard case or buy a 3D printer and make a button cover. Probably someone had it listed on thingaverse already.

Inconsistent detection

Case is cheap plastic and the battery door is difficult to close after battery is installed. The unit does identify as advertised. Reading the instructions is a must.

I live in an old home (1918) and really needed to map out the breaker to know where everything is. This product worked great and did what it said it would do. Recommend getting the light socket plug so you can track those too. Wont work with 220v outlets or light switches. Did a great job tracking every outlet to a breaker. Power button for the receiver is extremely sensitive so best to set it down when off. A tiny flick of a pinky will kick it on.

A little hard to use at first. But it does it’s job!

works great
