Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

I used my HTP-6 Circuit Detective for the first time yesterday. The instructions seemed simple; however, I went to the web site and watched a video demonstrating how to use it. I thought things were progressing well until I checked the circuits by closing the breakers involved. The HTP-6 was wrong as often as it was right. So, what is the point? Perhaps I have a defective unit. Still, now that I have done the legwork and identified all of the breakers associated with all of the outlets and fixtures in my home, does anyone want to buy a once-used HTP-6 Circuit Detective which may or may not get you electrocuted?

Works, with a little indecision on my home panel- useful there. On my sons panel- inserting the transmitter trips the arc fault breakers (which I believe are becoming standard and required in many residential installations)! No use at all there!

I personally own two different models of this product by this company, and I have sold many of each of the 3 different models made by this company. They work Great. Ive never had any problem. You have to be sure you prescan the panel, hold down the button at the correct time as stated in the instructions, and that the circuit is live that you are trying to locate, but it defiately has saved me alot of time on many many occasions. Great product!

I was a little dissapointed in the lack of instructions. The main instrument needs a battery, but nothing in the packaging mentioned it. The actual use was impressive. Plug the transmitter in the suspect circuit. turn the receiver on, allow it to learn the breaker pannel by hovering it over the entire pannel once, then hover it over the pannel again and watch the arrow light up when it finds the right breaker.

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

WORKED JUST FINE

It worked as promised

The HTP-6 Breaker Identifier works as they said it would . Now away to label those countless breakers that does not have a Label! Will save a lot of steps, strong single at 70 feet today! Just follow the instructions that could be a little larger!

Read the use guide and it works fine. Have not tried from our 2nd floor yet but so far it is a great product.

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