Instructions for Use
To trace a tone
1) Connect an audio frequency tone
generator, such as the TG100, to cable to
be traced.
Application Hints
When tracing wires terminated to a
terminal block such as a “66 block”,
attaching both generator leads to the
cable or pair tends to contain the signal
within the cable. The tracer must nearly
touch the end of the cable to detect the
signal, which is helpful when the wires are
close together, as when terminated.
When tracing along cable runs and to
maximize radiated signal, connect one
lead of the generator to the wire or cable,
and the other end to ground (case of an
electrical box, electrical conduit, metallic
water pipe or ground rod). If no ground is
available, do not connect the other lead
to anything — let it dangle as near to the
earth as possible. Connect the generator
to the ungrounded shield of a coax cable.
The shield will do its job, if connected to
the center lead.

2) Press the recessed black button to turn
on the TT100. The power is on only as
long as the button is being pressed. The
battery low LED flashing on during turn on
and turn off is normal.
3) Adjust volume to a comfortable level.
If the signal is very loud when near
the cable, the volume may need to be
reduced to keep from overloading the
TT100. When overloaded, small increases
or decreases in the signal at the tip
cannot be heard.
4) Hold tip of TT100 near cables to be
identified. The signal will be loudest
on the wire or cable with the generator
attached to it. Separating the wires or
cables may help in identifying the correct
one.
To Use Headset
1) Insert 2.5 mm headset plug into end
of TT100 by the lanyard loop, be sure
to fully seat the plug into the jack. The
speaker is automatically disconnected.
2) Proceed as in the preceding section.

To Change the TIP
1) Remove screw nearest to the tip on
the back of the TT100 with a #1 Philips
screwdriver.
2) Pull the tip out of the front.
3) Push new tip into front.
4) Replace screw and tighten (about 4 in-
lbs), being careful not to over tighten.
Battery Replacement
When the battery low LED is on continuously
whenever the “on” button is being pressed,
replace the battery.
1) Remove screw at the back of the TT100
with a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Remove
battery door.
2) Remove old battery and disconnect from
battery leads.
3) Snap battery leads onto new battery (9
volt, alkaline). Place battery in case.
4) Replace battery door and screw. Do not
over tighten.
