3.0 SYSTEM 
ARCHITECTURE 
The  RT30 system consists of three (3) parts:  1) a Transmitter Unit (TU) with integrated clip-on non-contact 
voltage (NCV) detector and light detector;  2) a wireless Receiver Unit (RU);  and 3) an optional External Probe 
with integrated NCV detector.

The RT30 can be directly clamped on installed building wiring, as shown in Figure 1, and will detect the voltage 
applied to the wiring.  When voltage is seen, the TU and RU will illuminate the Detect LEDs and enable the 
Detect Beeper when AC voltage is detected.  When the voltage is removed (ex:  by opening the circuit breaker), 
the Detect LEDs will go out and the Detect Beeper will be silenced.

In situations where access to circuit wiring is limited, the RT30 can also detect if room lighting changes, as 
shown in Figure 2.  The Light Meter can act as either a “light sensor” (the Detect LED lights when room lighting 
increases), or a “darkness sensor” (the Detect LED lights when room lighting decreases), depending on the 
calibration of the Light Sensor.
