does this device trace 110 volt and/or 220 volt wires that are behind sheetrock and or wood walls?

fox is clipped to one end of wire, hound will detect and trace behind sheet rock slightly, but will find the traced wire at the other end in box or panel.

You can trace any wiring AS LONG AS THE POWER TO THAT CIRCUIT IS OFF. This isn't for live circuits like this to trace when the power is on. You can trace any wiring through a wall by clipping one lead to earth ground and the other to the (de energized) hot conductor. You'll get a stronger tone if nothing is plugged in to any receptacles on the circuit. Don't clip to the ground or neutral, as you won't get a tone. If you want to trace live wiring, I believe Triplett makes another tool for this (as do other manufacturers)

Yes, you can find studs behind plaster walls, and you can find electric wiring behind plaster walls.

if you use it the scanner as a desktop it has wall 120 volt plug in transformer to 13.8 voltsyou can also use it off of a car battery 12 volts with the included lighter adapter

Yes, Always disconnect power to wires before toning them out with a wire locator. Then follow the instrucitons with the underground wire locator to trace the direction and location of your buried wires.

Yes, it does have a transparent 110 volt cord to plug in the wall....sorry!

It's on a 220. Had electrician install plug on the wall right below the unit

The manual does not say but I have it connected 110V outlet and works good.

Yes behind plaster up to 3/4 inch and no stud finder detects wires. It detects studs. What you need is xray vision for detecting wires

Not really. It will tell you if the hot, neutral, and ground are connected to the correct terminals on the receptacle. It works well at this and also checks gfci's. You will need to correct the wiring so it is correct.

Nope. But they sell a 900mhz version that will work better around walls. Check their website

I have only used it to detect wooden studs behind gypsum board. I suggest you check it out at the manufacture's web site. Copy/paste this address in your browser's address bar: http://www.franklinsensors.com/products/prosensor_710.php

Yes. I use this device to find a break in my electric dog fence which uses low voltage.

It is designed to find a circuit breaker in a 220 VAC system. To use this device, you plug in the sending unit at a standard 110VAC duplex and walk out to the main electrical panel. Scan the panel (the circuit breakers on their load side) and then rescan listening for a tone as you pass the handheld device. I am not really clear as to how one would utilize this tool for a circuit board.?!?

hmmm. i didn't realize it was for ghost hungint???? i use it to measure emf emissions and i love it. you move it around the appliance and it will show the emf emissions. i had one that was a lot more expensive and technical showing exact measurement but it was awkward and difficult to use imo. i like this one because it's simple and gives me te info i need. you point and push the on button and get the reading. i love it. !

No it doesn't. I would suggest either a seperate meter or the system I use which is called TED. TED monitors the entire electrical usage for your home.

My guess would be there is a place in the buried area where the two wires are touching. For you to get that result

Not that I am aware of , shortly after I bought my reason for buying it became obvious without using this,there is a lot of videos out on using one, I can tell you the broken wire tester works great I have used that. As for the power probe itself, the maker and other people will warn you to be careful in using it because you can send 12 volt current to components that will wind up burned out,that said I am sure there are applications where this tool will fill the bill.
