Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

works pretty well on newer romex wiring

This replaces lots of extension cords ending in a desk lamp next to the circuit box. It also relieves my wife from having to yell THANKS THE ONE.

This unit quickly and accurately identifies which breaker feeds a circuit. Even though I have small Challenger breakers it easily picked out the right one. Tremendous help when needing to shut down a circuit for a repair.

Works just as advertised. I had no problems using it. Feels very light and flimsy but for $12, who cares?

This device did everything I wanted with no issues. I have a 200-Amp panel with about 25 breakers in it, a mixture of single and double pole breakers. You plug the injector/transmitter into a plug and then use the detector at the circuit panel. First, youll want to sweep the detector over every breaker. Notice that the green arrow will light up at several places, especially on any double-pole breakers. This is the calibration stage. Now, go ahead and sweep a second time -- this time around, you should only get the arrow on one of the breakers. I think some of the other reviewers skipped the calibration pass. The instructions arent entirely clear on this step - it says to do it, but doesnt completely make the how clear. Its easier if you have a friend on the intercom, but you can verify this by turning off the breaker and seeing if the transmitter goes dead. You should also lose your green arrow on the detector. I wish this device had a battery option so you could try it on dead/tripped breakers. Im giving it 4-stars, losing a star because of the lack of instructions.

I live in an old home (1918) and really needed to map out the breaker to know where everything is. This product worked great and did what it said it would do. Recommend getting the light socket plug so you can track those too. Wont work with 220v outlets or light switches. Did a great job tracking every outlet to a breaker. Power button for the receiver is extremely sensitive so best to set it down when off. A tiny flick of a pinky will kick it on.

Works as indicated......I found it best to follow directions and scan fully twice to get exactly the right breaker.

Very God Device

I bought this device a week ago. Ive wanted one for a long time. I am glad i finally got one. It is so easy to use and it works good.

This device works fine as long as the instructions are followed carefully. It did get confused once or twice indicating that a circuit could be powered by one of two adjacent circuit breakers. But when I removed the panel cover I noticed the wire from the correct breaker had been routed down near the breaker below before angling away. This is a fault of the eletrician that originally wired the panel and not the HTP-6 and appears to be a common problem. I would have given this 5-stars instead of 4 but for the overly sensitive on/off switch.
