WARNINGS
To ensure safe operations and service of the instruments, follow these instructions. Failure to observe
these warnings can result in fire, electric shock, severe injury or death.
The Toner and Probe are designed for use on cabling systems for testing when NOT energized.
•
•
DO NOT use instruments if they are wet, as it could pose a shock hazard.
DO NOT use instruments if they are damaged in any way.
•
•
Turn off instruments and disconnect Alligator Clips and RJ11/RJ45 connectors before
attempting to replace batteries.
The battery door must be in place and secure before you operate the instrument.
•
•
DO NOT open the case, other than the battery compartment.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING AND RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This tone and probe test kit traces non-energized wires. The toner transmits on non-energized wires
using the 3rd and 4th contacts of the RJ12 terminal jack or the 4th and 5th contacts of the RJ45
terminal jack. Included with this kit are an RJ12-to-alligator clips test wire to use on unterminated
wires or coaxial cable, as well as an RJ45 terminated jumper. These are to be used as an interface
with the cable to be traced, if required. The probe is used to locate the toned wire at the far end of
the cable. See below for specific details.
CONTINUITY TEST
The Toner transmits frequencies on non-energized wires only. Connect the cable to be tested to the Toner,
or, if necessary, connect the Alligator Clip Cable
T9
to the Toner, then attach the Alligator Clips
wires to be tested. If the resistance of the circuit is less than 10kΩ, the "CONT" Indicator
red and no toning can occur. If there is continuity on the cables to be tested, toning cannot be performed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TRACING PAIRED WIRES (FIG. 1)
1. Connect the cable to be tested to the Toner, or, if necessary, connect the Alligator Clip Cable
the Toner, then attach the red Alligator Clip
T9b
to one of the wires in the pair to be traced. Connect
T9b
the black Alligator Clip
to the other wire in the pair to be traced.
2. Perform Continuity Test as described previously to verify the wire path is open for toning.
T5
3. Turn the Function Selector Switch
to "TONE" to initiate toning.
4. At the far end of the wire pair to be traced, spread the wires apart at least 2" (51 mm), if possible.
5. Turn on the Probe by rotating the Power/Volume Control Dial
6. Use the Probe to scan the cable's wire pairs. Move the Probe's tip
Probe's volume will increase as it approaches the toned pair. When the Probe's volume is high over
the first wire, low in the middle (between) the two wires, and high over the second wire, you have
located the pair of wires you are tracing.
TRACING NON-PAIRED WIRES (FIG. 2)
1. Connect the cable to be tested to the Toner, or, if necessary, connect the Alligator Clip Cable
T9b
the Toner, then attach the the red Alligator Clip
to the wires to be traced.
T9b
2. Connect the black Alligator Clip
to another wire in the cable, but preferably not in the same pair
(connect to ground, if available). When tracing a shielded cable, connect the red Alligator Clip to the outer
shield, and the black Alligator Clip to the center conductor or ground.
3. Perform Continuity Test as described previously to verify the wire path is open for toning.
T5
4. Turn the Function Selector Switch
to "TONE" to initiate toning.
5. At the far end of the cable, spread the wires apart at least 2" (51 mm), if possible.
6. Turn on the Probe by rotating the Power/Volume Control Dial
7. Use the Probe to scan the cable's wires. Move the Probe's tip
Probe's volume will increase as it approaches the toned wire
RJ45 TERMINATED DATA CABLE WIRE MAP TESTING (FIG. 3)
1. Insert one end of the data cable to be tested into the Toner's RJ45 port
2. Insert opposite end of cable into the Probe's RJ45 port
P9
3. Turn the Toner's Function Selector Switch
T5
to "TEST".
4. A wire pin-to-pin map will be displayed on both the Toner and the Probe. The Toner's Wire Map Pinout
T3
Indicators
will slowly blink in order, 1 through 8, to indicate which pin on the Toner end of the cable
is being mapped. Simultaneously, The Probe's Wire Map Pinout Indicators
which pin on the Probe end of the cable is connected to the actively indicated pinout on the Toner end
(for example, if pin 3 on the Toner end of the cable is connected to pin 6 on the Probe end of the cable,
when the Toner's #3 Pinout Indicator illuminates, the Probe's #6 Pinout Indicator will illuminate).
5. If the cable being mapped is terminated in T568A, T568B, or Straight-Through wiring, the Probe's
Wire Map Pinout Indicators
P6
will illuminate 1 through 8, in the order of contact pin termination,
in unison with theToner's Indicators.
6. The test will be repeated until one (or both) end(s) of the cable is/are disconnected, or until the
Toner's Function Selector Switch
T5
is rotated out of the "TEST" setting.
USING THE PROBE'S WORKLIGHT
The Probe has a worklight
P2
to aid in illuminating dark or low-light work areas. Press the Worklight
P5
On/Off button for less than one second
to turn the light on and off.
AUTO-POWER OFF
Auto-power off will occur after 10 minutes of activity.
APPLICATION HINTS
• When tracing wires terminated to a terminal block such as a "66 block", attaching both generator leads
to the cable or pair tends to contain the signal within the cable pair. This causes cancellation of the
radiated signal. The tracer must nearly touch the end of the cable to detect the signal, which is helpful
when the wires are close together or when terminated.
• Connecting one generator lead to a wire is normally sufficient to trace the cable. The more wires in a
cable connected in parallel to the generator, the stronger the radiated signal.
• When necessary to maximize radiated signal, connect one lead of the generator to the wire or cable
and the other end to ground, such as electric box, metallic water pipe or ground rod.
• Connect the generator to the ungrounded shield of a coax cable for the strongest signal. If the generator
is connected to the center lead the shield will do its job and shield the signal from being radiated.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT (FIG. 4)
1. Turn off instrument(s) before attempting to replace batteries.
2. Loosen screw
T11
,
P11
on battery cover
T10
,
P10
.
3. Remove and properly dispose of two 1.5V AAA batteries.
4. Install new batteries (note proper polarity).
5. Replace battery cover and fasten securely with screw.
To avoid risk of electric shock, do not operate while battery door is removed.
