PRECAUTIONS

FOR PERSONAL AND INSTRUMENT PROTECTION

IMPORTANT:

1. Before using any electrical instrument, it should be checked to

make certain it is operating properly.

2. 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, safety glasses and protective clothing

should be worn.

3. Before attaching anything to the conductor, make sure the voltage

present is not beyond the range of the instrument.

4. When not in use, keep the instrument in its carrying case.

5. When the R2000 or the T2200 will not be used for a period of time,

remove the battery.

INTRODUCTION

AMPROBE is dedicated to designing, manufacturing and marketing

high quality, reliable instruments for the skilled professional. The

AMPROBE Advanced Wire Tracer has a history of providing safe,

reliable operation in tracing energized wires, locating circuit breakers,

and locating shorted wires, and tracing non-energized wires, locating

open breakers and locating open wires.

The AT-2000-A Advanced Tracing System combines both Current

Tracing and Open Tracing into one versatile tool providing the ability

to solve virtually all your tracing problems.

Having conﬁdence in an instrument is an important part of using

the instrument. All applications are different and special. An

understanding of the system’s operation could be the difference

between several minutes or several hours on the job.

Invest time learning the operation of the Advanced Tracer to build

conﬁdence in the unit. Please read this manual carefully. Take the time

to learn how the instrument operates. Test it in a variety of

situations. You will soon have the conﬁdence to use it on a daily basis

to solve problems which were previously unsolvable.

AT-2000-A SERIES PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AT-2000-A System consists of different, yet fully compatible

components that are combined into ﬁve interchangeable systems:

AT-2004-A Industrial Multipurpose Tracer — includes R2000,

S2600 -A, T2200, and A2201 Clamp-On Accessory.

AT-2005-A Industrial Multipurpose Tracer — includes R2000,

S2600 -A, T2200, A2201, B2024, B2025.

All components are described on the following pages. Each system

contains all necessary cords and accessories.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

R2000 Receiver

Has two built in sensors that are tuned to pick up the 32.768khz signals

generated by any of the transmitters in the AT-2000 family: S2600-A,

T2200. The R2000 is designed to indicate the signal’s strength in audio

and visual ways to enable precise location of the conductor carrying

the signal.

Changing Batteries

The battery compartment on the back of the R2000 and the T2200 is a

new design that allows you to drop the battery in and out quickly and

easily. Two holes on the bottom of the compartment accept the round

terminals of a 9 volt battery. Make sure to position battery properly,

otherwise the compartment will not close.

1. Mode Adjustment Switch

‘open’ mode is used for

open conductors. ‘SHORT’

mode is used on conductors

that make up a complete

circuit.

2. Range Switch Coarse

sensitivity adjustment

3. Battery light Will illuminate

when unit is turned ‘on’

provided the battery is in

place and charged

4. Lanyard Attachment Hole

Attach a wrist strap to

prevent accidental dropping

5. Electromagnetic and

Electrostatic sensors located

in the tip

6. Signal Strength Indicator

10 LED’s positioned behind

a red ﬁlter lens to allow

readability in direct sunlight

7. Sensitivity Adjustment/ON-

OFF thumbwheel On -Off

switch combined with ﬁne

adjustment of sensitivity

8. Battery Compartment

Drop-In-And-Close design

automatically connects

battery with the contacts.

Battery must be oriented

properly to allow it to close.

Using the R2000 Receiver

1. Turn the R2000 ‘ON’ by rotating the thumbwheel and leave it

around position ‘5’.

2. Move the range switch to x 1 (this is the least sensitive setting).

3. Place the mode switch into the appropriate position and aim the

R2000 properly (see illustration below).

4. If there is no indication on the display. increase the sensitivity by

moving the range switch to x10 or x100. The thumbwheel is used

as a ﬁne adjustment to maintain a midrange indication (3-9 LED’s).

IMPORTANT: Always try to keep the sensitivity low enough to a

maximum of 9 LEDs on the indicator. Otherwise, you could waste

a lot of time determining the proper signal source -- a weak signal

may register 10 LEDs in the x 100 range, but so will a strong signal

(typically the one you want to follow).

5. When tracing, move the R2000 back and forth over the path of the

wire and adjust the sensitivity so that you can see the rise and fall

of the signal level. The strongest signal conﬁrms the path of the

wire.

NOTE: The R2000 will experience electromagnetic saturation when

held up against wires carrying more than 500Amps. If this occurs,

the signal strength indicator will go black. To remedy this, simply

move the R2000 a few inches away from the wire. (See Fig.2) After

the transmitter is connected and operating, but before beginning

to trace wires or circuit breakers, take the receiver and hold it

near the transmitters non-grounded lead, and get familiar with

the double beep pattern that the transmitter emits. When tracing

wires or circuit breakers, that is the pattern to look for. Ignore any

other light and tone patterns that you might see.

S2600-A Load Signal Generat ors (LSG’s)

When connected to an energized circuit, the LSG’s will rapidly turn

themselves on and off. This generates a slight, periodic current

ﬂuctuation that causes the power line to emit its own, trace-able

signal. this signal can be detected all the way back to the main

generator. However, the signal will not interfere with any sensitive

electronic equipment and does not require power interruption.

S2600-A- For use on 9 to 300 volts AC or DC circuits only.

1. Power Selection Switch

Use ‘Low’ power when unit is

connected to a GFCI-Protected

circuit.Use ‘High’ power for all

other applications.

2. Connections for Banana Plugs

Are not polarized so it

doesn’t matter which lead

gets connected to power and

which to ground.

3. LED Indicator

Light will blink if properly

connected to an energized

circuit.

4. Intrinsically safe Fuse Holder

Pulling out the fuse holder

automatically disconnects the

fuse from the circuit while

shielding the user from live

terminals.

No Battery!

Units receive power from the

circuit they are connected to
