Using the Receiver
The CS-5000 receiver incorporates multi-directional signal detection circuitry. It is not necessary
to rotate the receiver when following the path of the traced object.
Press and release the receiver's Power button. Use the Mode Selector button to place the unit
in "SEARCH MODE." Begin tracing near the transmitter, pressing the
any time the signal becomes weak, Scan the area with a sweeping motion across the
suspected path of the traced object until you locate the signal. The receiver can pick up the
signal radiating directly from the transmitter, instead of the signal on the traced object. Trace a
short distance from the transmitter, and then press and release the Power/Signal Reset button.
Use the Manual Gain down button to lower the gain if all seven LEDs are illuminated in a wide
scan area. Use the Manual Gain up button to increase the gain if the signal becomes weak.
Continue to adjust the gain as you follow the conductive path.
The receiver will indicate you are within tracing distance using the Relative Signal Strength LEDs.
If the signal is lost, press and release the Power/Signal Reset button to reset the gain to the
highest level.

Sorting Bundled Wires

The CS-5000 can sort unenergized wires that are bundled or run in the same conduit.
1. Connect the transmitter to the wire to be identified. Use a separate ground as described in
the "Tracing Circuits and Metallic Objects" section above.
2. Proceed to the other end of the bundle. Set the receiver to Breaker Mode. Hold the receiver
against each wire, pressing the
3. Hold the receiver against every wire a second time. The receiver should only show a strong
signal on one wire. This is the wire connected to the transmitter.
Note: If coupling between the wires makes it impossible to identify the wire connected to the
transmitter, return to the transmitter end of the bundle. Connect all wires to the separate ground
except the wire to be identified. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
Power/Signal Reset any time all 7 LEDs are illuminated.
