Extech CLT600 Advanced Cable Locator and Tracer Kit
The Extech CLT600 is a comprehensive cable locator and tracer kit designed to help electricians, inspectors, and service technicians quickly find, trace, and diagnose wires and cables in walls, ceilings, floors, and even underground. It works with both live (powered) and dead (unpowered) cables, includes safety features, and is built for job-site use with ruggedness and visibility in mind.
Description
The CLT600 is engineered as an all-in-one tool for tracing and locating cables and wires, whether they are under power or not. Using a transmitter, the kit can inject a high-frequency coded signal into a wire or cable, which the receiver then picks up for tracing. The transmitter also measures AC or DC voltage up to 450 volts to verify if a wire is live, without requiring direct contact with the conductor thanks to its non-contact voltage detection feature.
Safety and usability are key design elements. The device carries a CAT III-450 V safety rating. Both transmitter and receiver use visible LCD screens with backlit displays and bar graph indicators of signal strength, plus work lights for dark areas. Auditory tones help in tracking the signal, and a mute mode allows quieter operation when needed. The receiver has multiple detection levels so you can locate wires deeply buried in drywall or beneath soil up to about 50 cm (roughly 20 inches).
In terms of accessories and kit contents, the CLT600 includes two test leads, alligator clips, a grounding rod or spike, twelve AAA batteries (for both transmitter and receiver), a socket adapter (US-Type-B included; UK/EU adapters available), and a hard carrying case. Whether diagnosing cable breaks, identifying hidden wiring, verifying breaker/fuse assignments, or simply mapping wiring paths, this tool is built for field troubleshooting and verification work in both residential and commercial environments.
Features
- Traces both powered and unpowered wires and cables through walls, ceilings, floors, and underground.
- Measures AC/DC voltage up to 450 V to confirm whether a wire is energized.
- Non-contact voltage detection improves safety by preventing direct contact with live conductors.
- Receiver detection depth levels include approximately 50 cm (Level 3), 30 cm (Level 2), and 10 cm (Level 1) for buried or hidden cables.
- Backlit LCD with bar graph display and integrated work light for easy readability in low-light environments.
- Coded transmission option allows distinction between multiple transmitters or prevents signal confusion.
- Signal strength is displayed both visually (bar graph) and audibly (tone), with adjustable sensitivity for precise tracing.
- Mute mode enables quiet operation when needed.
- Safety rating of CAT III 450 V ensures reliable performance and operator protection.
