    Fairly easy to use, plug in the transmitter in the test socket and move the detector over the breakers along a line down the breaker array on the side closest to the panel box wall and not near the panel center line . instructions say to turn the sensitivity all the way down eliminate cross-talk issue but I found a midpoint setting worked better. I would typically start at full sensitivity, sweep the panel to ensure it saw a signal, then step down the sensitivity until only one breaker trigger a response. Note I generally could not distinguish between the a/b breakers in a double gang setup. I did have one issue; the transmitter makes an assessment of the socket and can identify problems with the wiring. This worked initially, but after testing several sockets it consistently indicated an unconnected ground even on circuits it initially said were ok. I verified a good ground with multimeter so bad transmitter. I returned the unit and amazon promptly replaced it . havent had any issues since then.

    You simply plug the tone generator unit (which also works as an outlet tester) into an outlet, and tone is automatically sent to the circuit box. If the circuit is off, however, the tone sender unit is not powered, and no tone is generated.

    I have several UNI-T instruments and I have found them to be well made and less expensive than bigger name brands. The circuit tester function of the device works well and is clear to read and understand thanks to the onboard labeling showing what the light combinations mean. The GFCI tester worked perfectly. The circuit breaker locator function takes a little more effort to learn to use effectively, but I quickly found a way to make it consistently locate the correct breaker. When I started using the locator probe I found that it would trigger prematurely if I touched the white part to the circuit breakers. Typically more than one circuit breaker would trigger the locator tone as I got close to the correct breaker and I couldnt adjust the sensitivity to prevent that (either there would be no detection or multiple detections). Remembering something I discovered with my underground wire tracer, I lifted the probe off the circuit breaker by about 1/4 to 1/2 and then scanned for the correct breaker. This resulted in perfectly reliable operation. That may be something specific to my brand of circuit breakers or the length of the wire runs in my home, but if you struggle with getting an accurate reading, give it a try and see if this is a helpful tip for you too.

    Finds breaker very well but says I have open ground and I got out my tester I know is good and it say they are fine. The tester part is inaccurate

    This testing and tracing system works well and can allow one person to identify every outlet connected to a load center without help. I would only add a means to attach the tester/sender to non 3-prong outlets, such as light sockets or via alligator clips. It does all that it claims and does it well.

    Needed to identify breakers that controlled outlets. Adjusting the sensitivity made the accuracy perfect. Very easy to use.

    I have a lot of double single pole breakers, So the unit triggers even on the half of the breaker that is a different separate circuit. However the audible tome will be louder for the correct half; and the feed wires, if sufficiently separated, will signal very discretely on only the correct circuit. So it works just fine. In fact works great.

How should I adjust the sensitivity?

Adjust the sensitivity of the receiver to the minimum and keep slowly turning it up during the measurement until it can be accurately located to the break.

Does the power have to be on for the tester to work?

Yes, it must be powered on to test the circuit break, the receiver also needs to use a 9V battery to receive the signal, but we come with the package with a 9V battery.

The receiver just beeps at all the breakers. What should i do?

Turn down the sensitivity before using it, otherwise it will beep at any break until it is adjusted to a critical point, this critical point needs to be found by you, try it a few more times and you will find break.

Will it work if there is no electricity to the socket?

No, it will not work without electricity. The socket must be connected to 90-120V mains to power the transmitter inserted into the socket.
