Abstract
An electronic identification device for identifying, among conductors of a wiring system including multiple conductors, at least one conductor that is series-connected to a magnetically controlled switch. The device comprises a test connector having pins that are connected to respective conductors to be tested, a microcontroller commanding, in a predetermined order and in two steps, the sending of a test signal to each of the pins of the test connector, and conducting measurements and comparisons for the identification of the conductors, a signal source that is connected both to the pins of the test connector and to the microcontroller, a magnetic field source, and a display for the display of the identification.
