• Separate Talk Battery status for increased voltage and power for test sets
• Auto-OFF of tone after three hours to conserve battery life
• Constant tone amplitude over life of battery
• Two tone amplitude – normal and half
• No power draw in continuity status with leads open
• RJ jack allows use of modular cable or alligator clips
• Low battery LED indicates when to change battery
• 9 Volt battery included
Warning!
Do not attach to live AC circuits. This could cause an extreme shock hazard and damage to the Tone Generator. When connecting to unknown circuits, always start in the OFF Status. If either or both status LEDS light, there is voltage present.
The CONT and TALK BATT status modes should NOT be used with voltage present.
Instructions for Use
To send a tone for tracing Caution: Do not connect to an active AC cir
cuit exceeding 24V in this mode
1. Move slide switch to “OFF” Status position
2. Connect black lead to Tip/positive/white striped conductor.
3. Connect red lead to Ring/negative/solid colored conductor
4. PRESS and RELEASE Tone Button to generate FULL Strength tone
5. PRESS and RELEASE Tone Button again to generate HALF-Strength tone
6. PRESS and HOLD Tone Button to cycle through three available tones: warble, pulse and steady
7. Use IDEAL Amplifier Probe (62-164) to receive tone. Reception of tone will be strongest on the subject wires. In cases of ready access to bare conductors, a handset may be used to receive tone.
8. To turn tone generator off, PRESS and RELEASE Tone Button until LEDs do not glow.
Application Tips
• For the strongest possible tone strength, it is recommended to connect one lead to a conductor and the other lead to a ground. If no ground is available, dangle the second lead as close
to earth as possible. (See Fig. 1)
• With Tone on, the CONT status mode can be used to verify the correct pair at the remote end.
• To confirm correct pair at the remote end, short out the pair with the strongest tone received by touching the leads together. The tone will “cancel” out or stop, and the REV LED
will light on the tone generator indicating continuity.
To check continuity Caution: Do not connect to live AC circuits
1) Move slide switch to “CONT” position
2) Connect leads to subject pair
3) Red LED indicates continuity, no LED indicates open or line resistance over 10,000 ohms.
4) Move slide to “OFF” Status to avoid draining battery of leads touch during storage
Providing Talk Power Caution: Do not connect to live AC circuits
1. Move slide switch to “TALK BATT” position
2. Connect tone generator in series with one test set at each end of a dead pair, creating a closed loop.
3. Place both test sets “off hook” or TALK position to establish communication. (See Fig. 2)
Analog Telephone Line Testing (Central Office Battery must be present to perform tests) Caution: Do not connect to to live AC circuits
Telephone Line Polarity
1. Move slide switch to “OFF Status” position
2. Connect black lead to Tip/positive/white striped conductor.
3. Connect red lead to Ring/negative/solid colored conductor.
4. If NRM LED glows, polarity is correct. If REV LED glows, polarity is reversed.
Telephone Line Status
1. Move slide switch to “OFF Status” position
2. Connect black lead to Tip/positive/white striped conductor.
3. Connect red lead to Ring/negative/solid colored conductor.
a. If NRM or REV LED is bright, the line is not in use
b. If NRM or REV LED is dim, the circuit is in use
c. If both LED’s are flashing, ringing current is present
d. If both LED’s glow, AC Voltage is present
Modular Testing
All above tests are available through the modular plug for Line 1 only – red and green wires / blue pair
Coax Testing
1. To test unterminated coax, connect red to outer shield and black to center conductor OR red to outer shield and black to ground
2. To test terminated coax, connect red to connector housing and black to center pin OR red to connector and black to ground
Battery Replacement
1. Remove black rubber battery cap by pulling or prying off with hand (See Fig. 3)
2. Remove and replace battery
3. Snap rubber battery cap into place

Generador de tonos
Hoja de instrucciones
Características
• Se pueden escoger tres tonos diferentes en el tablero delantero
• Se puede añadir tono en cualquier estado – permite que los aparatos de prueba sin característica de supervisión capten el tono
• Pila fácil de cambiar – no se necesitan herramientas
• Estado de pila de conversación separado para mayor voltaje y corriente para los aparatos de prueba
• Desconexión automática del tono después de tres horas para conservar la duración de la pila
• Amplitud de tonos constante a lo largo de la duración de la pila
• Dos amplitudes de tonos – normal y medio
• No se consume corriente en estado de continuidad con los cables abiertos
• Jack RJ que permite el uso de un cable modular o cables de pinza de cocodrilo
• LED de pila poco cargada que indica cuándo hay que cambiar la pila
• Se incluye una pila de 9 voltios
¡Advertencia!
No lo conecte a circuitos activos de CA. Esto puede causar un peligro extremo de electrocución y daños en el generador de tonos Al conectarlo a circuitos desconocidos, empiece siempre en el estado APAGADO. Si se enciende uno o dos
LED, no hay voltaje presente. NO se deben usar las modalidades de estado CONT y TALK BATT con voltaje presente.
Instrucciones de empleo
Para enviar un tono para rastrear Precaución: No lo conecte a un cir
cuito de CA activo que exceda 24V en esta modalidad
1. Mueva el interruptor deslizante al estado "APAGADO"
2. Conecte el cable negro al conductor de punta/positivo/con franjas blancas.
3. Conecte el cable rojo al conductor anillo/negativo/de un solo color
4. PULSE y SUELTE el botón del tono para generar el tono de intensidad MÁXIMA
5. PULSE y SUELTE nuevamente el botón del tono para generar el tono de intensidad MEDIA
6. PULSE y MANTENGA PULSADO el botón del tono para ciclar los tres tonos disponibles: ululado, impulsos y constante
7. Use la sonda amplificadora de IDEAL (62-164) para recibir el tono. La recepción de tono será más intensa en los cables tratados. En casos de acceso listo a conductores descubiertos, se puede usar un aparato de pruebas para
recibir el tono.
8. Para apagar el generador de tonos, PULSE y SUELTE el botón del tono hasta que se apaguen los LED.
Recomendaciones de aplicación
• Para la máxima intensidad posible del tono, se recomienda conectar un cable a un conductor y el otro cable a tierra. Si no hay una conexión a tierra, deje colgar el segundo cable lo más cerca posible de tierra. (Vea la Fig. 1)
• Con el tono conectado, se puede usar la modalidad de estado CONT para verificar el par correcto en el extremo remoto.
• Para confirmar el par correcto en el extremo correcto, cortocircuite el par con el tono más fuerte recibido poniendo en contacto los cables. El tono se "cancelará" o cesará, y el LED REV del generador de tonos se encenderá
indicando continuidad.
Para comprobar la continuidad Precaución: No lo conecte con circuitos activos de CA.
1) Ponga el interruptor deslizante en la posición "CONT"
2) Conecte los cables al par en cuestión
