Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

I was able to map all but one of the outlets in the house. Not sure what the issue was there. The rest of the outlets were simple to map, just be sure to hold the sensor at the breaker box horizontal, and make more than one pass slowly over ALL of the breakers. One of my outlets was cross-wired between two breakers, so now I have to call an electrician. Light fixtures mapping works, too, as long as they allow a screw-in plug outlet into the bulb socket. I havent figured out how to map a hard-wired fluorescent light fixture, but Ill figure that one out. One hint: once youve got everything mapped and written down, put a label on the inside of each outlet and light-switch cover as to the circuit on the panel that governs whats under that cover. That way, if you need to change an outlet or switch, or want to cut off power to that outlet or switch, you dont need to puzzle over the brilliant list that you made - the cover plate tells you which breaker to turn off.

This product works as advertised. I have both circuit breakers and older screw-in fuse panels and Circuit Detective readily found the individual circuits in both panels. I used a two-way handi-talker to communicate with a helper who plugged the transmitter into circuits while I used the detective to locate circuits. Nice tool!

I was a little dissapointed in the lack of instructions. The main instrument needs a battery, but nothing in the packaging mentioned it. The actual use was impressive. Plug the transmitter in the suspect circuit. turn the receiver on, allow it to learn the breaker pannel by hovering it over the entire pannel once, then hover it over the pannel again and watch the arrow light up when it finds the right breaker.

WORKED JUST FINE

We have old electrical and this is super handy to find a fix.

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?

This one for my husbands friend. Husband used his and liked it, now we know what circuit every room goes to and which outlet

Save your money doesn’t work to late to send back waited too long to try it out, piece of s Oops.

Works as advertised. Instructions not very clear though, and power button is very sensitive so battery may drain fast.

This replaces lots of extension cords ending in a desk lamp next to the circuit box. It also relieves my wife from having to yell THANKS THE ONE.
