Your IDEAL troubleshooting solution. Designed to find everything, while saving you time and money.
Finding cables, wires and breakers can sometimes feel like a long game of hide and seek, extending labor costs and increasing customer downtime. It is frequently done by trial and error. When locating wires, opens and shorts becomes needlessly time consuming and short cuts are taken, nobody wins.
IDEAL circuit tracers can be used to quickly identify breakers and fuses, trace wires behind walls, and pinpoint opens and shorts with unparalleled accuracy. But what makes SureTrace™ so special is its unparalleled accuracy.
It is a week before closing and you find you have a problem with your branch circuit.
Whether it’s a dead short (hot to ground or hot to neutral) or if the branch circuit is protected by an arc fault breaker or GFCI, a (ground to neutral) will cause the same problem of the breaker being tripped.
A H-N/G or N-G short will most likely trip a GFCI - not just an AFCI.
You have to troubleshoot with traditional testers to track down the problem. Traditional testers are of little help in locating the source of the problem.
You could open up sections of the wall to try and find the problem, but this increases the amount of damage that other trades will need to repair, resulting in additional delay, cost and paperwork, and increased disruption to the householder.
With the SureTrace™ circuit tracer there is no need to randomly cut holes in a wall to try and find a problem. Simply trace the circuit until you find your problem area and save time, money and a world of hassle by not having to call back different trades to repair the damage. Resulting in additional delay, cost and paperwork, and increased disruption to the householder

Locating breakers is often a two person job, one turning off breakers, the other waiting to see when a specific circuit is de-energized. It is frequently done by trial and error, or even by dangerously grounding or shorting a wire to trip a breaker.

NOT RECOMMENDED
Dangerously grounding or shorting a wire to trip a breaker.
The IDEAL SureTrace™ circuit tracer quickly and efficiently allows the user to locate breakers or fuses accurately. No need to interrupt attached loads by guessing which breaker is the correct one.
Plug in the transmitter, scan the panels looking for the panel with the highest signal (if multiple panels).
Scan the breakers looking for the highest signal and you’re done!
The Certain Circuit feature in the display gives you instant confirmation that you switched off the correct breaker. (Lighting Bolt Out on Transmitter and Receiver)
After the correct breaker has been identified and tripped, the transmitter senses the loss of power and sends a different signal back to the receiver at the panel to give the user confidence that the right circuit has been de-energized.
