Circuit Mapper Branch Circuit Identification Circuit Mapping System

How the Circuit Mapper Operates

Your Circuit Mapper is composed of two primary components: the Transmitter and the Receiver. The Transmitter ports are connected to the appropriate circuits using non-contact inductive clamps. The clamps are secured around the insulated wire, greatly reducing the risk of shock by eliminating the need for a live voltage direct connection. Clamps are completely interchangeable as the digital signals are supplied by the Transmitter with a different numerical code being generated by each output jack. The Transmitter sends distinct digital signals to individual branch circuits on powered and unpowered systems!

The Transmitter indicates unit power, low battery state and is easy to check by inserting the Receiver probe into the clamp or output jack. The Transmitter first connects directly to the supply conductors, in the electrical panel, using alligator clips. The unit has built in filtering that reduces noise or stray signals between phases, neutral or ground. The Receiver display indicates corresponding transmitter connection and a low battery condition. The Receiver is programmed to recognize the specific digital signal supplied to the line by each of the Transmitter leads. The signal must repeat itself two times before the Receiver will indicate. This virtually eliminates the possibility of false readings from signal jump. If there is no signal on the branch circuit being tested, the Receiver simply indicates two bars. The Receiver recognizes up to 42 separate digital signals, allowing the use of a single transmitter on any given panel.
