Instructions for Use
To trace a tone
1) Connect an audio frequency tone
generator, such as the TG100, to cable to
be traced.
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. The tracer must nearly
touch the end of the cable to detect the
signal, which is helpful when the wires are
close together, as when terminated.
When tracing along cable runs and to
maximize radiated signal, connect one
lead of the generator to the wire or cable,
and the other end to ground (case of an
electrical box, electrical conduit, metallic
water pipe or ground rod). If no ground is
available, do not connect the other lead
to anything — let it dangle as near to the
earth as possible. Connect the generator
to the ungrounded shield of a coax cable.
The shield will do its job, if connected to
the center lead.
