Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

It worked fine for me with no trouble. The receiver beeps when it picks up a signal as strong or stronger than any its seen. So you make a pass over the breakers and ignore the beeps; then do it again and of course only the strongest one beeps. That amounts to it telling you which breaker is carrying the strongest signal, and thats the one you want. I suppose you could do it in one pass if you note the last beep, but of course you dont know at the time that its going to be the last beep. Its easier make a second pass.

The product takes some getting use to. It will give false readings at times which are distractive enough. The ON/OFF switch is extremely sensitive and will turn on at the slightest touch.The unit is accurate roughly 2/3rd of the time, so I guess for the price paid not terribly bad. Disappointed somewhat-especially with the microprocessor inside not providing reliable results.

Bought this for a new home to trace down the proper breakers for some outdoor lights. I also purchased the Klein Tools accessory kit, as I knew Id need the bare wire clips for the former light (the screw-in plug didnt work due to tight fit). You do have to RTFM and follow the instructions for the calibration step, but once done, it was dead on (and I wasnt), with no false positives - I double-checked.

Save your money doesn’t work to late to send back waited too long to try it out, piece of s Oops.

Very God Device

The instructions are very short, but theres nothing special about using this tool. Do what the instructions tell you and itll point to the right breaker. Note: if your house wiring is screwed up to begin with, dont expect this tool to resolve those issues. Thats not what it does.

I purchased this model circuit detective in Nov.05. I have yet to see it find a correct circuit after following the directions to the letter. I recently returned it to the company (Hi-Tech), asking for a replacment under the lifetime warranty only to have them return the same unit to me stating that there was nothing wrong with it. I guess I believed the hype about the different technology and it cost me $30+. My recommendation is to save your money and find a helper to hollar when the power goes off for a particular circuit as you flip the breakers in the basement.

This product works as advertised. I have both circuit breakers and older screw-in fuse panels and Circuit Detective readily found the individual circuits in both panels. I used a two-way handi-talker to communicate with a helper who plugged the transmitter into circuits while I used the detective to locate circuits. Nice tool!

Got sick and tired of running back and forth to see if I killed the right circuit breaker. No longer have to do that. Once you calibrate this item it will pick out the correct breaker. Worth every penny.

WORKED JUST FINE
