The P182 is designed for speed and tactical accuracy. By connecting the transmitter to the circuit and using the ergonomic receiver probe, you can "see" the path of the wire through solid surfaces.

The system features a sophisticated Direction Indicator that provides real-time feedback, showing you exactly which way to move the probe to stay on the fault line.

Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities

• Instant Short-Circuit Location: Stop pulling apart dashboards. The P182 identifies the exact point where a wire has shorted to ground, allowing you to perform surgical repairs within seconds.

• Open Circuit Detection: Easily locate broken wires or loose connectors by following the signal until it disappears—marking the precise spot of the "open" in the circuit.

• Intelligent Direction Indicator: Unlike basic tracers, the P182 guides your navigation with visual cues, ensuring you never lose the signal in dense wiring harnesses.

• Multi-Level Sensitivity Adjustment: Fine-tune the receiver’s detection levels to filter out interference or penetrate deeper into vehicle panels, ensuring high accuracy regardless of the diagnostic environment.

• Circuit Breaker Tracing: Quickly follow a circuit from the fuse box to the component to identify where a breaker is being tripped.

Hardware & Efficiency

• Wireless Receiver Flexibility: The handheld receiver is powered by two standard 1.5V AAA batteries, allowing for complete freedom of movement around and inside the vehicle.

• Robust Transmitter Performance: The transmitter hooks directly into the vehicle's 9–30V power supply, drawing a minimal 80mA to generate a strong, trackable signal.

• Compact & Portable: Both units feature a durable, lightweight design optimized for the tight spaces found in automotive repair environments.

• Visual & Audible Alerts: High-contrast indicators and audible signals ensure you can identify the fault even in loud, brightly lit workshops.
