Introduction

The Tone Generator is a highly practical network installation

and troubleshooting tool which features a single or multi-

tone signal, two test leads and a 4-conductor modular cable.

The signal emitted by the Tone Generator can be easily traced

by the Probe, even when cables are in a bundle or hidden in a

mess of punch down blocks or wall plates. The Tone

Generator & Probe can be used to verify cable continuity,

identify wiring faults, determine line polarity and voltage in

network (Cat 5 and Coax) and modular telephone lines. The

Probe is equipped with a tone amplifier and an LED indicator

that detects audible frequency tones for accurate tracing and

identification of wires.

E. Testing Continuity

1. Slide the toggle switch to the "Cont" position.

2. Connect the test leads to the subject pair.

3. A BRIGHT GREEN light indicates continuity.

Caution:

Do not connect to an active AC or DC circuit in this

mode.

F. Testing Continuity Using Tone

1. Slide the toggle switch to the "Tone" position.

2. Connect the test leads to the subject pair.

3. Using a handset or headset at the remote end,

touch the wire end(s) with the clip lead(s).

4. Reception of tone is an indication of continuity.

Modular Testing

* All above tests are applicable to modular plugs for line 1

only (red & green wires).

Coax Testing

* To test un-terminated coaxial cables, connect the RED

test lead to the outer shield and the BLACK test lead to

the center conductor, or connect the RED test lead to the

outer shield and the BLACK test lead to the ground.

* To test terminated coaxial cables, connect the RED test

lead to the connector housing and the BLACK test lead

to center pin, or connect the RED test lead to the

connector housing and the BLACK test lead to ground.
