Data Sheet

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PTS Pair Tracing System comprises the PTS 200 Tone Generator and the PTS 100 Probe in a woven polyester
carrying pouch. The System is designed to provide an easy to use and cost effective means of tracing wire pairs.
PTS 200 Tone Generator
The PTS 200 may be connected via the modular plug or the crocodile clips to the pair under test. Depending on the
switch position the Tone Generator will test Polarity continuity or short circuits. The PTS 200 can be used on twisted
pair wiring (Telecom, Datacom, security / alarm, audio and electrical), single conductors, coaxial cables, de-energized
AC wiring and just about any other wiring you can think of.
PTS 100 Probe
The PTS 100 Probe has a built-in loudspeaker to make it easy to hear the tracing signals and a near/far sensitivity
adjustment to allow both broad searches and pinpoint identication of wires. To operate just press the button on the
top and adjust the sensitivity control to hear the tone generated by the PTS 200.

PTS 100 Output Probable Cause
No Tone Wrong cable or a complete cable disconnection or
Tone Generator is disconnected
Tone on one wire One wire disconnection
Quiet on one wire, loud on the other High resistance fault on low level (quiet) wire
Power hum on pair with tone Earth (ground) fault on one or both wires
Power hum only Disconnection and earth fault
Noise with tone Crosstalk (severe cable fault) or earth fault
Can’t kill tone by shorting the pair One wire disconnected or split pair or
high resistance fault on one wire
Continuous tone Dying battery on the oscillator
Hiss from adjacent pair ISDN or other digital service or base-band modem transmission
