WARNINGS
To ensure safe operations and service of the instruments, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in re,
FIG. 1
electric shock, severe injury or death.
The Toner-Pro and Probe-Pro (sold seperately) are designed for use on extra-low
•
voltage cabling systems (less than 60 volts) for testing when NOT energized.
The maximum voltage across ABN Test Clips of the Toner-Pro is 60 volts in
•
Test mode, and 20 volts in Continuity mode. Connecting the Probe-Pro to live
mains AC power may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user.
DO NOT use instruments if they are wet, as it could pose a shock hazard.
•
DO NOT use instruments if they are damaged in any way.
•
Turn off instruments and disconnect all ABN Test Clips before attempting to
•
replace batteries.
The battery door must be in place and secure before you operate the instrument.
•
DO NOT open the case, other than the battery compartment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
CONTINUITY TEST
The Toner-Pro transmits frequencies on non-energized wires only. When the
Toner-Pro is turned on, a continuity test will be performed to determine if the 2
wires to be traced are in close proximity to each other, without a conductive path
between them. The "CONT" Indicator T4 wIll illuminate green to indicate pass.
Attach the red and black ABN Test Clips
to the wires to be tested. If the
T14
resistance of the circuit is less than 10kΩ, the "CONT" Indicator T4 will illuminate
red and no toning can occur. If the "CONT" Indicator is illuminated green, a tone
can be generated and you may proceed.
SELECTING TONE FREQUENCY
The Toner-Pro defaults to the 800Hz frequency setting when powered on. Use
the Tone Mode Up T8 and Tone Mode Down T7 selector buttons to change the
frequency. The Tone Frequency Indicators T6 will display the frequency being
transmitted. If an alternating tone is selected, the two respective Tone Frequency
Indicators T6 will blink. Tones will cycle through the available frequencies in a

not in the same pair (connect to ground, if available). When tracing a shielded
cable, connect the red ABN Test Clip to the outer shield, and the black ABN Test
Clip to the center conductor or ground.
3. Turn Toner-Pro on by pressing the Power On/Off button T9.
4. Check the “CONT” Indicator T4. If illuminated green, you may proceed.
5. Turn on the Probe-Pro (sold seperately).
6. Select the preferred tone setting using the Tone Mode Up T8 or Tone Mode
Down T7 selector buttons.
7. At the far end of the cable, spread the wires at least 2" (51 mm) apart, if possible.

Probe-Pro's tip slowly across the wires. The Probe-Pro’s volume will increase
as it approaches the toned wire.

TRACING PAIRED WIRES (FIG. 1)
1. Connect the Toner-Pro’s red ABN Test Clip
pair to be traced. Connect the black ABN Test Clip

2. Turn Toner-Pro on by pressing the Power On/Off button T9.
3. Check the “CONT” Indicator T4. If illuminated green, you may proceed.
4. Select the preferred tone setting using the Tone Mode Up T8 and/or Tone
Mode Down T7 selector buttons.
5. Turn on the Probe-Pro (sold seperately).
6. At the far end of the cable, spread the wires apart at least 2" (51 mm), if possible.
7. Use the Probe-Pro (sold seperately) to scan the cable’s wire pairs. Move the
Probe-Pro's tip slowly across the wires. The Probe-Pro’s volume will increase
as it approaches the toned pair. When the Probe-Pro’s volume is high over
the first wire, low in the middle (between) the two wires, and high over the
second wire, you have located the pair of wires you are tracing. Use the
Volume Increase
and
Volume Decrease
buttons to adjust the volume.
