Socket & See DCF200 Dead Circuit Finder
Battery-Powered Dead Circuit Finder for Circuit Identification and Wire Tracing
The Socket & See DCF200 Dead Circuit Finder is designed for fast identification of dead circuits, with additional functionality for fuse finding, wire tracing, wire picking and break detection.
Both the transmitter and receiver are battery powered, making the DCF200 suitable for tracing circuits where mains power is unavailable. Low-battery indication and automatic power-off help conserve battery life and keep the instrument ready for use.
The receiver uses simple single-button operation and automatically adjusts to the received signal strength, removing the need for manual sensitivity tuning. Combined audible and visual indication, including an audible find tone and bargraph display, helps the user follow the transmitted signal and identify the required circuit.
The Socket and See DCF200 works with both circuit breakers and fuses and can trace cables from up to 50cm away. The transmitter operates with or without an earth connection and includes warnings for short circuits or potentially hazardous voltages.
