Reliable Circuit Breaker Finder Review
The video features a hands-on review and demonstration of the KAIWEETS KT301P Circuit Breaker Finder, highlighting its unboxing, setup, operational modes, and additional features like GFCI and Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) testing.
- Unboxing & Setup
- The device comes with a dedicated carrying case, a receiver, a transmitter, a manual, a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter, a GFCI outlet tester, and four AAA batteries.
- Setting up requires using a small screwdriver to open the back covers and install two AAA batteries into both the transmitter and receiver.
- Locating a Circuit Breaker
- Setup: The transmitter is plugged into the target outlet. A solid green light and a 120V reading confirm correct household wiring.
- First Scan (Learning Mode): With the receiver turned on and reset to “Learning Mode” (indicated by a learn icon), you scan every breaker on the panel one by one without stopping, even if it beeps.
- Second Scan (Lookup Mode): After waiting 3 seconds, the receiver switches to “Lookup Mode” (indicated by a magnifying glass icon). Scanning a second time allows the receiver to pinpoint the correct breaker with rapid beeping and a full signal strength indicator.
- Verification: Turning the identified breaker off causes the transmitter’s light to flash. The video confirms success by demonstrating that a hairdryer plugged into the outlet no longer receives power.
- Additional Testing Features * GFCI Test: By plugging the transmitter into a GFCI outlet and holding the test button, the tool trips the circuit breaker to verify safe and correct wiring (indicated by a “PAS” readout).
- Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Test: By holding the reset button on the receiver, it switches to NCV mode. When placed near a live power cord (demonstrated using an air purifier), the receiver beeps and shows signal strength to confirm live voltage safely.
