Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

I purchased this because the bone headed electrician who wired our home (built in 1976) didnt bother to label the breakers. There are 20 breakers in my main panel and this device found all of them with no errors. It saved a lot of running around the home to find the lights and outlets served by a breaker. I do not know why any others had a problem with it but for me it certainly was well worth the money!

I followed the instructions and it would beep on a circuit breaker but it was not the correct breaker. Not sure the reading can be totally trusted. Tried several times with same result.

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.

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

After purchasing the Hi Tech circuit detective in April 2012 I have used it twice to identify circuits. Just plug in the sensor and then scan the breakers in the electrical box. It takes 2 scans to detect the breaker -- the first scan to learn the circuits and the second scan to identify the circuit that the sensor is pluged in. Good product and glad I purchase it.

I used it plugged into a outlet at least 45 from the panel and once I followed the actual directions it worked just fine.

It served the purpose for my use at home and I like the compact size.

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.

Very handy.

Very good
