WIRE TRACING
The LAN Tracker™ (ET64220) is designed to trace a variety of unenergized wires. Each
unit comes with a transmitter and a receiver. Under perfect conditions, the receiver will
function up to 12" from the wire being traced.
TRANSMITTER
The transmitter contains five (5) adapters for connection to
common wiring applications.
To access the adapters, open the back of the transmitter. All five
plugs are contained in individual slots. During use, the appropriate
plug can be pulled out of the slot, and the cover closed.
The On/Off button is located on the front of the housing.
To activate the unit, press this button once. The LED will blink,
indicating that a signal is being transmitted. The unit can be
turned off by pressing this button again. To conserve battery life,
the unit will turn itself off after 45 minutes.
RECEIVER
The receiver can be placed in the front slot of the transmitter
for easy storage. The unit contains an On/Off button on
the top, located behind the sensitivity wheel. To activate the
receiver, press and hold this button. The unit is now locating
the signal. Bring the unit near the wire being traced. If this is
the correct wire, an audible “warbling” tone will be heard,
and the LED will increase in brightness. Use the sensitivity
wheel to adjust the sensing range.
TRACING WIRING
Electric Shock Hazard. Trace only unenergized
wiring. Contact with live circuits can result in severe injury or
death. Always disconnect power to the circuit prior to using the
LAN Tracker™.
Open the back of the transmitter and select the appropriate
plug or clip for the wiring being traced. Fold the plug or clip out
and close the housing door. Connect the transmitter to the
wiring and press the On/Off button to activate. Activate the
receiver by depressing the On/Off button and continuing to hold
down. Bring the receiver near the transmitter and check for the
audible and visual signals. This verifies that both units are
functioning properly. Trace wiring by following the audible and
visual signals that the receiver is producing.
TRACING TELEPHONE WIRING
To prevent interference, disconnect the house line from
the main telephone company service. This can be done
by locating the junction box where the house is
connected to the telephone company wiring. Remove
any connections from the house to this box, making
sure to note the proper location of each wire for later
reconnection. Use the RJ-11 (telephone) plug for
insertion into a standard telephone jack. Trace the wiring
as described above. To enhance the signal strength and
increase the operating range of the receiver, the black
alligator clip may be connected to an external
equipment ground. This will greatly increase the
functional range of the receiver.
TRACING DATA/LAN WIRING
To prevent interference, remove all connections from
the data network to any outside source. Use the RJ-45
(data) plug for insertion into a standard data/LAN jack.
Trace the wiring as described above.You may notice
that the receiver must be contacting the LAN wire and
is stronger along one side of the wire. This is normal
and is due to the physical properties of the LAN cable,
which is designed to prevent interference from
external signals.
TRACING COAX WIRING
To prevent interference, disconnect the cable in the
house from the cable company wiring. This connection
can be found where the main cable enters the house.
Connect the co-axial plug to any co-axial jack in the
house. Trace the wiring as described above.
TRACING OTHER UNENERGIZED WIRING
Make sure all wiring is disconnected from any power
source. To trace a single wire, connect the red lead
alligator clip to the wire to be traced. To boost the signal,
connect the black lead alligator clip to a suitable ground.
Two wires can be traced at the same time by connecting
one alligator clip to each wire; however, the signal will
not be as strong as it is while tracing a single wire with
the black alligator clip connected to ground. Trace the
wiring as described above.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Transmitter uses two (2) AAA batteries. To replace
them, open the transmitter case and identify the battery
compartment on the left. Remove the cover and replace
the batteries, noting the polarity shown on the cover.
The Receiver uses four (4) button cell batteries (LR44).
To replace them, locate the battery cover at the back
of the tester. Push the cover off to expose the batteries.
Replace with new batteries, noting the polarity shown
on the battery door.

RASTREO DE CABLES
Los LAN Tracker™ (ET64220) han sido diseñados para rastrear cables diversos por los
cuales no se transmite corriente. Cada unidad viene equipada con un transmisor y un
receptor. En condiciones ideales, el receptor puede funcionar a una distancia de hasta
30,5 cm (12") desde el cable que se está rastreando. Los resultados varían según factores
tales como el tipo de aislamiento, la proximidad a otro cable de conductos múltiples, etc.
Esto es normal y se aplica a todos los dispositivos de rastreo de cables disponibles en el
mercado.
TRANSMISOR
El transmisor tiene cinco (5) adaptadores que permiten su conexión con cables de
aplicaciones comunes.
Para obtener acceso a los adaptadores, abra la parte posterior del transmisor. Los cinco
enchufes se encuentran en ranuras individuales. Se puede retirar el enchufe apropiado de la
ranura y cerrar la tapa al usar el dispositivo. El botón de encendido (On/Off) está situado en el
frente del gabinete. Para activar la unidad, presione este botón una vez. Un indicador lumínico
tipo LED titilará, lo cual indicará que se está transmitiendo una señal. Para apagar la unidad,
presione este botón nuevamente. La unidad se apagará automáticamente pasados los 45
minutos con el fin de preservar la duración de las pilas.
RECEPTOR
La ranura delantera del transmisor es un lugar útil para guardar el receptor. La unidad
tiene un botón de encendido (On/Off) situado detrás del control de sensibilidad, en la
parte superior. Para activar el receptor, oprima este botón y manténgalo presionado. La
unidad intentará localizar la señal. Acérquela al cable que esté rastreando. Al encontrar el
cable correcto, la unidad emitirá un sonido modulado y el brillo del LED aumentará. Utilice
el dial de control de sensibilidad para regular el alcance del sensor.
RASTREO DE CABLEADO
Peligro de electrochoque. Rastree únicamente cables sin corriente. El contacto
con circuitos activos puede causar lesiones graves o inclusive la muerte. Desconecte
siempre el suministro eléctrico del circuito que se disponga a rastrear antes de utilizar el o
el LAN Tracker™.
Abra la parte posterior del transmisor y elija el enchufe o la pinza adecuada para el cable
que desee rastrear. Retire el enchufe o la pinza y cierre la tapa del gabinete. Conecte el
transmisor al cable y presione el botón de encendido (On/Off) para activarlo. Active el
receptor oprimiendo el botón de encendido y manteniéndolo presionado. Acerque el
receptor al transmisor y verifique si hay señales visuales y audibles. De esta manera
comprobará si las dos unidades están funcionando correctamente. Rastree el cable
siguiendo las señales audibles y visuales producidas por el receptor.
