ZIRCON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ZIRCON from 3G Electric.
What voltage ranges are available in Zircon circuit breaker finders?
Zircon circuit breaker finders in the 3G Electric catalog cover several voltage ranges. The 64070 model operates on 110 to 120V AC and is rated CAT III 600V, tracing circuits in non-metallic conduit. The 70030 model covers 80 to 600V AC with a CAT III 600V rating and traces circuits behind walls. The 71263 model operates on 80 to 300V AC with a CAT III 300V rating, also for non-metallic conduit. All three provide audible and light indication without a display. Selection depends on the system voltage and the required safety rating for the working environment.
How deep can Zircon wall scanners detect wood studs?
The Zircon wall scanner listed as SKU 30HK82 (MPN 65244) detects wood studs up to 2 inches deep with an accuracy of ±0.20 inch. It is designed for drywall applications and includes live wire detection with audible alerts. The unit has a plastic housing and comes with batteries included. This depth and accuracy are typical for standard stud-finding tasks in residential and commercial drywall. For deeper or denser materials, check the specific model specifications before purchase.
What are the power and alarm specifications of Zircon water detectors?
The Zircon water detector and alarm (MPN 64003, SKU 1TJT7) operates on a 9V DC battery, which is not included. It produces a 90 dB audible alert when water is detected and is designed for surface mounting. The maximum operating temperature is 105°F. It is suitable for monitoring areas prone to leaks, such as basements and utility rooms. The unit ships with instructions. No external power supply is required, making it suitable for locations without nearby outlets.
What safety ratings apply to Zircon circuit breaker finders?
Zircon circuit breaker finders carry CAT III safety ratings that indicate their suitability for distribution-level measurements. The 64070 and 70030 models are rated CAT III 600V, while the 71263 model is rated CAT III 300V. These ratings reflect the transient overvoltage conditions the instruments are designed to withstand. When selecting a model, match the CAT rating to the electrical environment and follow applicable workplace safety procedures. The finders provide audible and light indication and do not include a display.
Can Zircon circuit breaker finders trace circuits in non-metallic conduit?
Yes. The Zircon 64070 and 71263 models are specifically designed for tracing locations in non-metallic conduit. The 64070 operates on 110 to 120V AC with a CAT III 600V rating, while the 71263 operates on 80 to 300V AC with a CAT III 300V rating. Both use audible and light indication to identify the correct breaker. The 70030 model is intended for tracing circuits behind walls rather than conduit. Confirm the conduit type and voltage range before selecting a model.
What is included with Zircon wall scanners and water detectors?
The Zircon wall scanner (MPN 65244) includes batteries. The Zircon water detector and alarm (MPN 64003) includes instructions but does not include the required 9V DC battery. Circuit breaker finders are listed with their standard accessories as supplied by the manufacturer. For specific package contents, refer to the individual product listing or request a quote from 3G Electric. Product data is organized by SKU and manufacturer part number to help verify what is included before ordering.
