INTRodUCTIoN
The Amprobe PASAR Current Tracer is a hand-held circuit tracing device for locating and tracing
circuit breakers and "hot" and neutral conductors without turning off power or interrupting
sensitive electronic equipment.
The current tracer consists of a transmitter and a receiver for tracing 6-300 V circuits, ac or
dc. The transmitter, when connected to a power source, draws short bursts of high frequency
current (0.25 amp peak load at 6.25 KHz) from the power line 71 times per minute. The receiver
detects the resulting magnetic field surrounding the conductors that supply power to the
transmitter. With custom digital filtering, the receiver visually and audibly indicates which circuit
is carrying the transmitter's low ampere, high frequency load.
There are no distance limitations with the current tracer since it works by drawing a small load
current from the power source and not by injecting an RF signal. Furthermore, this keeps the
current tracer's signal confined to the circuit to which it is applied instead of "bleeding off' onto
other circuits. Therefore, the signal will travel from the transmitter to the source of power (the
power generating station) and back on the neutral, totally unaffected by distance. It's quick,
easy and safe to use!

WARNINGS ANd PRECAUTIoNS
1. To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these instructions and use the
tester only as specified in this manual.
2. Read this manual in its entirety before proceeding with any testing.
3. This equipment should only be used by trained professionals who are familiar with electrical
hazards.
4. Wear lineman gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing at all times.
5. Before using any electrical instrument, it should be checked to make certain it is operating
properly.
6. In many instances, you will be working with dangerous levels of voltages and/or current,
therefore, it is important that you avoid direct contact with any uninsulated, current carrying
surfaces. Appropriate insulated gloves and PPE clothing should be worn.
