Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ZIRCON from 3G Electric.
What voltage ranges do ZIRCON circuit breaker finders cover?
ZIRCON circuit breaker finders are available in several voltage ranges to match different electrical systems. Models include units rated for 110 to 120V AC, 80 to 300V AC, and 80 to 600V AC. All models carry a CAT III safety rating, with the 600V-rated units rated CAT III 600V and the 300V-rated units rated CAT III 300V. This allows users to select a finder appropriate for their typical circuit voltages, whether in residential or commercial environments.
Can ZIRCON wall scanners detect live wires?
Yes, ZIRCON multifunction wall scanners, such as model 65244, include live wire detection capability. These scanners are designed for use on drywall and can detect live AC wires behind the surface. The scanner provides an audible alert when live wire is detected, in addition to detecting wood studs up to 2 inches deep, metal, and plastic conduits. The unit requires batteries, which are included, and operates without a display, using audible tones for indication.
What tracing locations are supported by ZIRCON circuit breaker finders?
ZIRCON circuit breaker finders are designed for specific tracing locations depending on the model. Some models are specified for tracing through non-metallic conduit, while others are intended for tracing through walls. For example, model 64070 (110-120V AC) traces through non-metallic conduit, model 70030 (80-600V AC) traces through walls, and model 71263 (80-300V AC) traces through non-metallic conduit. Users should verify the tracing location compatibility with their installation environment before selection.
Do ZIRCON circuit breaker finders have a display screen?
No, ZIRCON circuit breaker finders do not have a display screen. They are designed with a standard form factor that uses audible and light indicators to signal when a circuit is located. The absence of a display simplifies operation and reduces power consumption, making the tool straightforward to use in field conditions. The indicator system provides clear feedback without requiring the user to interpret a screen.
Are ZIRCON wall scanners suitable for use on surfaces other than drywall?
ZIRCON wall scanners, such as the multifunction scanner model 65244, are specified for use on drywall. The product documentation indicates that the scanner is designed for drywall applications, with a maximum scan depth for wood of 2 inches. While the scanner may function on other wall materials, its performance and accuracy are optimized for drywall. Users should consult the product datasheet for specific material compatibility before use on alternative surfaces.
