Abstract
An assembly, and an associated method, locates selected wires positioned amongst a plurality of wires in a wiremat. An oscillating signal is applied to the selected wires; all other wires are connected to an electrical ground potential to minimize effects of capacitive coupling. A sensing probe is positioned amongst the plurality of wires of the wiremat and a constant magnitude, variable frequency annunciation signal is generated having a frequency which varies corresponding to the proximity of the sensing probe to the selected wires.
