Trying to identify which circuit breaker in a fuse box goes to which outlets or fixtures in your house can be an exercise in frustration. Even if the fuse box was properly labeled by whoever did your house’s wiring, it can still be difficult to tell which outlets or fixtures in a particular room are included in which specific circuit.
Luckily for all of us, the folks at A.W. Sperry have come up with a terrific solution to this difficulty; the CS550A Circuit Breaker Finder. By using a transmitter and receiver, it quickly and easily identifies individual branch circuits at the panel box and can locate both AC breakers and fuses!

How To Operate
The Circuit Breaker Finder is an incredibly easy tool to operate, just watch this quick video, or read the text instruc
tions below!
Step 1: Plug It In
Plug in the transmitter end of the Circuit Breaker Finder into the wall. The yellow LED will light up to indicate that the outlet is currently being powered as well as emitting a somewhat loud chirping noise.
Step 2: Pair the Receiver
Hold the receiver up to the transmitter and turn it on. It will begin to chirp and the LED light will blink. When the beeping stops and the light becomes solid, press the trigger on your device, release and then shut it off.
Step 3: The Circuit Breaker
Head over to the circuit breaker or fuse panel, turn the receiver on and place it at a 90 degree angle to the panel. Place it against the top breaker, depress the trigger and begin to slowly move it down the column of switches, pausing for a second at each one so the device can analyze each breaker. After the last breaker has been analyzed, release the trigger and repeat this process. This time the reciever will begin beeping loudly once it finds the correct circuit for the breaker.
Step 4: Get To Work!
Shut off the breaker for the area you’re working in and you should hear the transmitter beeping stop in the background. Now you can safely get to work and without the fear of electrical shock or electrocution!
