This tone and probe test kit traces non-energized wires. The toner transmits on non-energized wires
using the 3rd and 4th contacts of the RJ12 terminal jack or the 4th and 5th contacts of the RJ45
terminal jack. Included with this kit are an RJ12-to-alligator clips test wire to use on unterminated
wires or coaxial cable, as well as an RJ45 terminated jumper. These are to be used as an interface
with the cable to be traced, if required. The probe is used to locate the toned wire at the far end of
the cable. See below for specific details.
CONTINUITY TEST
The Toner transmits frequencies on non-energized wires only. Connect the cable to be tested to the Toner,
or, if necessary, connect the Alligator Clip Cable
wires to be tested. If the resistance of the circuit is less than 10kΩ, the "CONT" Indicator
red and no toning can occur. If there is continuity on the cables to be tested, toning cannot be performed.

To ensure safe operations and service of the instruments, follow these instructions. Failure to observe
these warnings can result in re, electric shock, severe injury or death.
The Toner and Probe are designed for use on cabling systems for testing when NOT energized.
•
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 Alligator Clips and RJ11/RJ45 connectors 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.

TRACING PAIRED WIRES (FIG. 1)
1. Connect the cable to be tested to the Toner, or, if necessary, connect the Alligator Clip Cable
the Toner, then attach the
the black Alligator Clip
2. Perform Continuity Test as described previously to verify the wire path is open for toning.
3. Turn the Function Selector Switch T5 to "TONE" to initiate toning
4. At the far end of the wire pair to be traced, spread the wires apart at least 2" (51 mm), if possible.
5. Turn on the Probe by rotating the Power/Volume Control Dial P4 counterclockwise, to desired volume.
6. Use the Probe to scan the cable’s wire pairs. Move the Probe's tip P1 slowly across the wires. The
Probe’s volume will increase as it approaches the toned pair. When the Probe’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.
TRACING NON-PAIRED WIRES (FIG. 2)
1. Connect the cable to be tested to the Toner, or, if necessary, connect the Alligator Clip Cable
the Toner, then attach the
2. Connect the black Alligator Clip
(connect to ground, if available). When tracing a shielded cable, connect the red Alligator Clip to the outer
shield, and the black Alligator Clip to the center conductor or ground.
3. Perform Continuity Test as described previously to verify the wire path is open for toning.
4. Turn the Function Selector Switch T5 to "TONE" to initiate toning
5. At the far end of the cable, spread the wires apart at least 2" (51 mm), if possible.
6. Turn on the Probe by rotating the Power/Volume Control Dial P4 counterclockwise, to desired volume.
7. Use the Probe to scan the cable’s wires. Move the Probe's tip P1 slowly across the wires. The
Probe’s volume will increase as it approaches the toned wire
RJ45 TERMINATED DATA CABLE WIRE MAP TESTING (FIG. 3)
1. Insert one end of the data cable to be tested into the Toner's RJ45 port T7.
2. Insert opposite end of cable into the Probe's
Turn the Toner's
3.
4. A wire pin-to-pin map will be displayed on both the Toner and the Probe. The Toner's Wire Map Pinout
Indicators T3 will slowly blink in order, 1 through 8, to indicate which pin on the Toner end of the cable
is being mapped. Simultaneously, The Probe's Wire Map Pinout Indicators
which pin on the Probe end of the cable is connected to the actively indicated pinout on the Toner end
(for example, if pin 3 on the Toner end of the cable is connected to pin 6 on the Probe end of the cable,
when the Toner's #3 Pinout Indicator illuminates, the Probe's #6 Pinout Indicator will illuminate).
5. If the cable being mapped is terminated in T568A, T568B, or Straight-Through wiring, the Probe's
Wire Map Pinout Indicators
in unison with the Toner's Indicators.
6. The test will be repeated until one (or both) end(s) of the cable is/are disconnected, or until the
Toner's
USING THE PROBE'S WORKLIGHT
The Probe has a worklight P2 to aid in illuminating dark or low-light work areas. Press the Worklight
On/Off button for less than one second P5 to turn the light on and off.
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 pair. This causes cancellation of the
radiated signal. The tracer must nearly touch the end of the cable to detect the signal, which is helpful
when the wires are close together or when terminated.
• Connecting one generator lead to a wire is normally sufficient to trace the cable. The more wires in a
cable connected in parallel to the generator, the stronger the radiated signal.
•
When necessary to maximize radiated signal, connect one lead of the generator to the wire or cable
and the other end to ground, such as electric box, metallic water pipe or ground rod.
• Connect the generator to the ungrounded shield of a coax cable for the strongest signal. If the generator
is connected to the center lead the shield will do its job and shield the signal from being radiated.
1. Turn off instrument(s) before attempting to replace batteries.
2. Loosen screw
3. Remove and properly dispose of two 1.5V AAA batteries.
Install new batteries (note proper polarity).
4.
5. Replace battery cover and fasten securely with screw.
To avoid risk of electric shock, do not operate while battery door is removed.
Be sure instrument is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
