CONNECTION
PSIBER
Connect the CT12 Tone Generator directly
to an RJ-45 or RJ-11 terminated cable; or an
RJ-45 wall outlet using the RJ-45 Patch Cable;
or bare wire by connecting the RJ-45 to
Alligator Clips Adapter. The CT12 transmits
an alternating tone signal through the
connected cable.
AUTO - The CT12 transmits a tone
signal or tests continuity for 10 minutes
and then shuts down to conserve
battery life.
On - The CT12 transmits a tone signal
continuously until the operator selects the
test button again.

CABLE TRACING
Connect the CT12 Tone Generator to
a cable or outlet, select either “Auto” or
“On” and turn on the CT15 Probe by
pressing and holding the button. Place
the probe tip near the cable or termination
to be identified and the Probe emits an
audible signal. The audible signal is loudest
when the Probe is near the correct cable or
termination point. The volume can be adjusted by rotating the thumb wheel located
above the button. A light from the light
pipe indicates that the unit is on and
the battery has adequate voltage.

OPERATION
The CT12 Tone Generator features one
button operation. Each press of the TEST
button advances the operating mode of
the unit. The modes are selected in the
following order:
1. Auto/Tone - Alternating tone will automatically
turn off after approximately 10 minutes.
2. On/Tone - Alternating tone will not turn off
until the test button is pressed again.
3. Auto/Short - Continuity test indicates the resistance
between the test leads. LED Color Resistance:
Green (Open) R ≥ 300KΩ
Orange (High Resistance Short) 5KΩ < R < 300KΩ
Red (Short) R ≤ 5KΩ
3. Off - No signal transmitted.
The CT15 Probe also features one button operation.
Press and hold the TEST button and ensure the
green LED is illuminated. When the non-conductive
probe tip is near a cable or termination connected to
the tone generator, the CT15 transmitts an aubible
sound that matches the received signal.
Low Battery Indicator
Low Battery- When the battery is below
the level required for the CT12 to operate
properly, the “LowBatt” indicator illuminates.
Tone - The CT12 transmits a tone signal.
Short - Continuity test indicates the resistance
between the test leads.
