From the Manufacturer
The CF 12 Pro Circuit Beaker Finder Kit is the most complete circuit-finding tool kit available. We took our popular CF 12 Circuit Breaker Finder and upgraded it to meet your professional needs. Use the CF 12 Pro Kit to find circuit breakers in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. It calibrates automatically so all you need to do is connect the transmitter to the circuit and scan the breaker box with the included receiver. A green LED light and audio signal will identify the correct breaker so you won't need to haphazardly guess and cut power to essential gear like computers, servers, and appliances that shouldn't be turned off. The CF 12 Pro Kit comes packaged in a lockable case and includes clips and blades for easy access to most outlets, including 230 and 240 volt industrial. The kit also contains light socket and 120 V AC plug adapters for use with finished circuits. FEATURES: Scan for easy identification and labeling of all breakers -- Finds breakers faster and more efficiently without trial-and-error work or accidental shutoffs -- Isolate circuits for repair or replacement, or work on specific circuits without interrupting others -- Blades allow easy access to most outlets, including industrial 230 and 240 volt -- Automatic sensitivity adjustment - no knobs or dials -- One-light simple-green LED indicates proper breaker

From the Manufacturer
Tired of flicking fuse box breakers on and off to find the right electrical circuit? It seems like there should be a better way, and there is. Ideal for locating circuit breakers in residential, commercial, and industrial environments, the CF12 Pro electronically locates breaker controls for specific circuits in your fuse box. The CF12 Pro includes connectors for plugging the transmitter into the circuit that needs repair. Just scan the receiver over the switches in the breaker box, then when the green LED glows and the buzzer sounds, you have found the circuit breaker connected to the transmitter! No more killing power to the computer, clocks, or freezer, the CF12 makes it easy and convenient to scan all the breakers for identification and labeling. This handy indoor device comes with a transmitter, receiver, clips, light socket adapter, blades, and a plug adapter.

Customer Reviews

Best thing since sliced bread
The Zircon CF 12 PRO saves hours of hunting for the correct breaker to shut off a circuit. Instead of the old fashioned trial and error approach, you merely attach the transmitter to the circuit to be worked on, then take the 'sniffer' (receiver) to the circuit breaker panel. By running the 'sniffer' over all the breakers twice (the first time to calibrate the unit, the second time to locate the circuit you are connected to) you locate the correct breaker in less than a minute. Shut off the breaker, go back to the sender, and confirm the light is off. You are ready to rock and roll. The unit comes with connectors that can be used with clips, standard 120V plugs, blades for larger or unusual plugs, and a light socket adapter. Also, all this comes in a durable, lockable plastic box with a well designed foam insert that keeeps all the parts protected, yet readily accessible. What more could you ask for? Time is money, and this unit will pay for itself after the first couple of times you use it. Don't leave the shop without it!

Works Great
I had a 10 or 15 year-old breaker finder from Radio Shack which would always identify several breakers as "the one". This Zircon unit works perfectly, always identifying just 1 breaker, and it's the correct one.

Make sure you understand and follow the directions. The signal from one wire will be coupled to nearby wires. This can't be avoided. The reason you have to run the detector past all the circuit breakers once is to let it identify the strongest signal. On this first pass it may light up on more than one breaker. But on the 2nd pass, it'll only indicate the breaker with the strongest signal, which is the one you're looking for. It's also important that you orient the detector as shown in the instructions.

Very easy to use
Product worked well for us. We have a complicated office with four sub-panels, some 220V, and wires running all over everywhere with little apparent pattern. We were able to figure out where almost everything went, with a few exceptions. And because it works on live circuits we didn't need to turn breakers on and off.

The unit is very easy to use because it automatically adjusts for signal strength. Run it past each breaker twice and it reliably identifies the one that's connected to the probe at the other end.

We did run into a problem with the unit -- it died after one week. We called the company, which repaired it and shipped in back in working condition promptly and without complaint.
