Expert Tips from Contact Delage
Electricity is invisible, and finding the source of an electrical issue can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Thankfully, with the Ideal SureTrace™, troubleshooting becomes significantly faster and more accurate, thanks to advanced technology tailored to electricians’ needs.
This CAT III 600 V-rated digital circuit tracer is designed to quickly diagnose a wide range of electrical issues:
- Breaker and fuse identification, even in tight spaces.
- Locating conductors hidden in walls, ceilings, and floors.
- Pinpointing shorts, open circuits, and connection errors (like shared neutrals).
A Versatile and Practical Tool
The SureTrace™ can be used on energized or de-energized systems, including 3-phase systems up to 600 V AC/DC (50 and 60 Hz). Equipped with a transmitter and receiver, it can detect voltages ranging from 24-600 V AC and 12-600 V DC, with polarity indication for DC systems.
Designed for Demanding Work Conditions
- High-visibility displays: The receiver features a patented 180° rotating main display and a secondary TightSight® display on the back. These make it easy to read in tight spaces without having to position your head close to panels or conductors.
- Non-contact detection: The tip sensor detects the presence of AC voltage between 40 and 600 V, indicated by a flashing red light and a beeping sound whose frequency varies with proximity to the voltage source.
- Integrated work light: A built-in light ensures visibility when working in poorly lit areas.
Built for Durability and Comfort
- Integrated continuity testing: The transmitter includes a patented continuity test, eliminating the need for an additional tester.
- Rugged industrial design: The over-molded construction enhances grip and provides superior drop protection.
- Hands-free operation: The transmitter comes with a magnetic/hook clip (sold separately) and an integrated stand for use on flat surfaces.
Why Choose the SureTrace™?
In addition to saving you valuable time, this tool ensures you can work safely and efficiently, even in challenging environments. Whether you’re locating a breaker, identifying a conductor inside a wall, or diagnosing a connection issue, the SureTrace™ is an essential companion.
