IntelliTone™ Pro 200 LAN Toner
IntelliTone™ Pro 200 Probe

Overview of Features

The IntelliTonePro 200 LAN toner and Pro 200 probe let you locate, isolate, and validate twisted pair (UTP, Cat 5e, Cat 6), coax cables (RG6, RG59, and others for CATV/CCTV), bare wire (such as speaker wire and security network wire), and Cat 3 telephone cabling. The toner also lets you validate data services.
The toner and probe feature both digital and analog toning and detection. The digital IntelliTone tone is primarily used on data cables, and on active networks. In these environments, the digital signal eliminates cable misidentification due to signal bleed and radiated or ambient noise.
The analog tone is primarily used on voice cables, and on bare wire. The SmartTone cadence when a pair is shorted at the far end. This makes exact pair identification easy and precise.
analog technology will change
The IntelliTone feature also lets you use the toner and probe to validate and troubleshoot wiring on RJ11 and RJ45 cables.
The toner detects Ethernet service and indicates active pair number on Ethernet circuits.
The toner and probe also provide standard functions such as visual and audible signal strength indication, digital toning/detection, SmartTone analog toning/detection, and continuity testing.

Warning
To prevent possible fire, electric shock, or personal injury:
Never use the toner, probe, or test leads if they are damaged. Inspect the cases and test leads for damage before use.
Never open the case except to change the battery; no user-serviceable parts are inside.
Turn off the toner or probe and disconnect all test leads before replacing the battery.
Use only a 9V battery, properly installed in the case, to power the toner and probe.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
W
Caution
Avoid touching the probe tip to patch panel connections and using the tip to dig into cable bundles. Doing so regularly may damage the probe tip over time.
X
To avoid unreliable test results, replace the battery as soon as the low battery indication appears.

Battery Status

LEDs on the toner and probe light for 1 second at power on to indicate the battery status:
Toner battery status

Locating and Isolating Terminated UTP/STP Cables with the IntelliTone

To reactivate the toner or probe, turn the rotary switch to any position except OFF.
Locating and Isolating Terminated UTP/STP Cables with the IntelliTone
The IntelliTone Pro toner provides two toning modes for locating and isolating cables: one digital tone and the SmartTone analog tones (500 Hz to 1200 Hz) .
With the toner set to digital tone mode, the probe can be set to either locate
Both toning signals are available at all connectors on the toner.
The digital tone environments and the SmartTone analog tone is optimized for two wire locating.
To locate and isolate cables using the digital tone, do the following:
1
Connect the IT200 toner to a jack or punch-down block as shown in Figure 1.
2
Turn the toner’s rotary switch to .
3
Turn the IP200 probe’s rotary switch to (locate).
or isolate .
is optimized for 4 pair UTP data
4
Use the probe to find the general location of the tone at a cable rack, patch panel, or behind a wall. The SYNC LED lights up green when the probe is receiving the IntelliTone signal.
In locating mode, the probe’s LEDs light up from 1 to 8 as the signal strength increases. The higher the number, the stronger the signal.
Note
If you cannot locate the IntelliTone signal on 2-conductor cables, the cable may be shorted. Use the cable map test (page 8) to test for shorts on cables with RJ11 and RJ45 connectors. Use the continuity test (page 12) to check for shorts on coax and non-terminated cables.
5
Turn the probe’s rotary switch to (isolate).
6
Use the probe to isolate the tone source in the cable bundle or at the patch panel. The SYNC LED lights up green when the probe is receiving the IntelliTone signal.
In isolating mode, the probes LEDs light up from 1 to 8 as the signal strength increases.

Isolating Individual Wire Pairs with the SmartTone Analog Function

Isolating Individual Wire Pairs with the SmartTone Analog Function
The position on the IntelliTone probe and toner lets you use the probe to trace using an analog tone.
SmartTone is intended for use on dry pairs of wires that are un-terminated at both ends of the run. It is not intended to be used on live wires with a DC power source (e.g., live telephone lines), nor will it work on wire pairs that are carrying AC signals. SmartTone works on many types of wire pairs including twisted pair, house wiring, and coax (the shield is one wire and the center conductor is the other wire of the pair).

SmartTone Positive Identification

1
The toner red lead must be connected to one of the wires of the pair, and the black lead must be connected to the other wire of the pair.
2
Put the toner and probe in the position.
3
At the far end of the cable run, place the probe near the wires you are tracing. Pick the pair that gives the loudest signal in the toner speaker.
4
Short and release the two wires of the pair. If you hear a change in the pattern of the tone, then you have located the target pair of wires.
If you don’t hear a change in the tone pattern, then pick a different pair and try again until you find the pair that causes the tone pattern to change.

Validating RJ11 and RJ45 Cable Maps

You can use the IT200 toner and IP200 probe to validate the cable map on RJ11 and RJ45 connectors. The cable map function finds the most common wiring faults on twisted pair cabling: shorts, opens, and crossed pairs.
1
Connect an IT200 toner to a RJ11 or RJ45 jack, as shown in Figure 2.
2
Turn the toner’s rotary switch to .
3
If necessary, use the IP200 probe to locate the correct connector at the other end of the cabling, as described in the previous section.
4
Connect the IP200 probe to the RJ11 or RJ45 jack; then turn the probe’s rotary switch to CABLE MAP.
5
The probe’s LEDs and beeper indicate the cable map, as follows:
The number of each LED corresponds to a pin on the connector. You can enable the SYNC LED to validate the shield. See “Validating the Cable’s Shield” on page 10.
Each LED that corresponding to an active pin flashes briefly, then should light for about 1 second. The brief flash shows which LED is next in the sequence.
The probe also beeps in different tones to indicate good wiring, miswires, shorts, and opens.
Miswire: If one LED flashes briefly, then another LED lights for one second, the wire for the first LED is miswired to the pin for the second LED.
Short: If two LEDs turn on for 1 second at the same time, those two pins are shorted together. If more than 2 wires are shorted together, the LEDs for the shorted pins indicate opens.
Open: If an LED flashes briefly, then no LEDs turn on, that pin is open.

Validating the Cable’s Shield

To use the probe’s SYNC LED for shield validation during cable map tests, do the following:
1
Remove the battery door and disconnect the battery from the probe, as described under “Battery Life and Replacement” on page
2
Turn the probe’s rotary switch to CABLE MAP.
The battery must be disconnected from the probe for at least 30 seconds.
3
Replace the battery and battery door.

Note
The SYNC LED will now indicate a good, open, or shorted shield as described in the previous section.
To disable shield validation via the probe’s SYNC LED, do the following:
1
Remove the battery door and disconnect the battery from the probe.
2
Turn the probe’s rotary switch any position except CABLE MAP.
Note
The battery must be disconnected from the probe for at least 30 seconds.
3
Replace the battery and battery door.

The Ethernet LED indicates service on pins 1, 2 or 3, 6 as shown in Figure 3.
The toner checks for continuity between pins 4, 5. Continuity indicates the toner is connected to a network device that is turned off.
The toner checks for continuity between the red and black test leads and across the middle pair of the RJ45/RJ11 jack (line 1).
If the Ethernet LED alternates between red and green, the Ethernet service is Auto-MDIX.
