    don’t waste your money

    This unit does not come ‘complete’ as advertised. The clamp is an extra charge. It will find live buried loads but It can’t be directly connected to a live load making it difficult to isolate one load in a trench with more than one load. Compared to a ‘competitor’ the Amprobe 3500 wieghs more, does less, yet cost twice as much. I have tried for 11 months to return it but niether the vendor nor the factory will respond to e-mails asking for help.

    ✘ No, I do not recommend this product

  6. Amprobe

    The complete AT-3500 kit consists of receiver, transmitter, connection cables, carrying case, instruction manual and batteries. We call this kit complete because it is sufficient to trace almost all buried utilities. The clamp-on attachment is used infrequently and it is truly an optional accessory for this tool. This is the very first time we were informed that the understanding of the complete kit may be different than what we have tried to convey. We stand behind our products and if you are unhappy for any reason, please send an email with your contact information to info@amprobe.com. We will do whatever we can to meet your satisfaction.

    excellent Tracer

    I use this tracer when I am investigate problems with light poles in several HOAs in the area. I am very happy with the performance of this tool. It allows me to quickly attach to the light pole and tracer out where panels are located and the directions of where the circuits are going. It has saved me countless hours. It also does excellent in finding underground power lines before I dig. This is a must to stay safe because I have caught a couple of time where 411 missed a primary feeder when I call them out to mark before I dig.
    This unit will pay for itself, companies are always looking for people to trace private lines before they dig. 811 will only trace public lines they control. The private lines like light poles, underground services to attached buildings are all easy to find with this tracer.
    It does take awhile to get the hang of. I found that sometimes using low power mode gets a better result than starting out in high power mode. You also need to pay attention on he Green Flashing Lights and the *red Green* flashing lights. You need to know the difference and what to do when the last light is green flashing, red/green flashing, and red flashing. I feel the manual did not put enough importance on those lights and what they mean.
    AS with all their tracers read the manual and practice with it. Same thing with the AT7030 when tracing wires inside you need to practice with it so you can use it confidently.

    ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.
