Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

This device did everything I wanted with no issues. I have a 200-Amp panel with about 25 breakers in it, a mixture of single and double pole breakers. You plug the injector/transmitter into a plug and then use the detector at the circuit panel. First, youll want to sweep the detector over every breaker. Notice that the green arrow will light up at several places, especially on any double-pole breakers. This is the calibration stage. Now, go ahead and sweep a second time -- this time around, you should only get the arrow on one of the breakers. I think some of the other reviewers skipped the calibration pass. The instructions arent entirely clear on this step - it says to do it, but doesnt completely make the how clear. Its easier if you have a friend on the intercom, but you can verify this by turning off the breaker and seeing if the transmitter goes dead. You should also lose your green arrow on the detector. I wish this device had a battery option so you could try it on dead/tripped breakers. Im giving it 4-stars, losing a star because of the lack of instructions.

The product takes some getting use to. It will give false readings at times which are distractive enough. The ON/OFF switch is extremely sensitive and will turn on at the slightest touch.The unit is accurate roughly 2/3rd of the time, so I guess for the price paid not terribly bad. Disappointed somewhat-especially with the microprocessor inside not providing reliable results.

Very God Device

YES, it gets regular false positives, and NO, its not that big a deal. Almost always, you can get the result down to a few breakers (usually 1-3 in my case). Then you flip them off one at a time to see if the LED goes off on the sender. Done. Which is better--doing the flip and check on two or three breakers or perhaps the whole darn bank? I agree with the reviewer that said its biggest limitation is needing a live circuit, and, for me, thats almost never a problem.

I followed the instructions and it would beep on a circuit breaker but it was not the correct breaker. Not sure the reading can be totally trusted. Tried several times with same result.

The HTP-6 Breaker Identifier works as they said it would . Now away to label those countless breakers that does not have a Label! Will save a lot of steps, strong single at 70 feet today! Just follow the instructions that could be a little larger!

It worked as promised

This unit quickly and accurately identifies which breaker feeds a circuit. Even though I have small Challenger breakers it easily picked out the right one. Tremendous help when needing to shut down a circuit for a repair.

The simplicity of use

You cannot depend on it. It will say 3 or 4 breakers and sometime none of which are the right one
