INT-515566-UM-0709-01

Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™
Net Toner and Probe Kit, Model 515566.

With testing leads and modular cables for individual wire tests or modular
jack tests, this handy device helps you attain the quick, reliable results
you need in order to get — and keep — your wired systems up and running.

Additional features:

• Tests datacom, telecom, security, video and audio networks

• Two-position switch for single or multi-tone signal

• LEDs for line polarity, continuity and voltage

• Enhanced talk battery mode provides power for voice communications

over inactive pairs

• Replaceable plastic tip to prevent accidental shorts

• Trace or identify wire or cables in a bundle or group

• Alligator clips, RJ45 jack, RJ12 plug, optional F-connector

• Lifetime Warranty

Electric Shock Risks & Precautions

• Avoid using this device in wet, damp or excessively humid environments.

• Before using the test lead or accessory, check that it is clean and dry,

and that the insulation is in good condition.

• Do not open the battery compartment when test leads are connected
to a live circuit, or when the unit is switched on.

• Never connect the Toner or Net Probe to a live wire from a non­ compatible telephone/network system. Doing so may damage the

tracer and/or the equipment.

Live Circuit Warnings
Acceptable voltage – The tester is designed to bear voltage conditions
commonly found on live telephone wires: It can safely be connected to

wires carrying 48 V DC or less at less than 80 mA, or 24 V AC.
Unacceptable voltage – Do not connect the tester to wires bearing over

48 V DC or at 80 mA or 24 V AC, or higher. Do not connect to live AC
circuits: Doing so causes an extreme shock hazard and damages the

tester. When connecting the tester to a previously untested circuit, the

tester should always be in OFF/VOLT mode (the middle switch on the

top switched to the middle position).

Sending/Tracing a Tone

1. Set the toggle switch on the Net Toner to the TONE HI-LO position.

2. Plug the cable to be checked into the Tone/Cont jack of the tester, or
plug the cable with alligator clips into the Tone/Cont jack.

3. Connect the tester to the cable to be traced using the RJ45 jack, the
red alligator clip on the RJ45-to-RJ11 patch cable, or the coaxial F

connector. To strengthen the tone signal, connect the black alligator
clip to a ground (however, if using the RJ45 jack to connect to the
cable being traced, this will not be possible).

4. Use the Net Probe to nd the cable you have connected to. When the
tip of the Net Probe touches the right cable, the tone will be at its
loudest and the Signal LED will light. (You can turn the volume down
as the tip gets nearer to the right cable to make it easier to distinguish
between the cables the Net Probe tip touches.)

5. Use the Tone button on the Net Toner to change the tone to the HI

(down) or LO (up) position.
CAUTION: Do not connect to an active AC circuit over 24 V in this mode.

Supplying Talk Power

The Net Toner has a feature that allows users to communicate using
telephone test sets, even when a circuit is dead.

1. Using the test leads, connect the Net Toner and a telephone test set
to the inactive circuit, in
series, as illustrated.

2. Flip the toggle switch on
the Net Toner to the Cont/

Talk position.

3. Set the TALK BATT button
to the Enhanced (down)

position. This provides
additional battery power to
enable voice communication over the inactive circuit. You should now
be able to communicate using the telephone test sets.
