Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

Works great!

This circuit breaker tracer works quite well and rivals some of the more expensive units. My only complaint is the on/off switch is not protected in any way and it turns on all the time. I can not put this item in a tool box as shifting tools turn the traces on all the time. One slight touch and it is on but you have to hold 3 seconds to turn off. I would like better if this was reversed and you had to hold 3 sec to turn on. That would eliminate most false turn-ons

The simplicity of use

It works good, I still have problems but is not because of these equipment

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

The product stinks. It only works on some of the circuits.It was a total waste of my money. I only rated it with one star because other wise this would not go through.

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 on/off switch is right where you hold it and when using you can turn it off while holding it. Sent it back.

works pretty well on newer romex wiring

It didnt work for me, but Ill give it two stars, as my breaker panel is old and may not be standard. I followed the directions, yet the device lit up on some of the wrong breakers and wouldnt light up on the right ones.
