BATTERY LEVEL
A battery level indicator is displayed in the top, left corner of the display. The
batteries are rechargeable by plugging the supplied charger into the connector on
the top of the unit.
When only one bar is shown in the battery indicator, the unit should be charged as

The unit may be used while power is supplied to the charge connector if power is
available.

.
LEVEL SELECTION
The TriTone Transmitter 3 offers output at Normal, High, and Maximum. The
lowest level that allows identification of the cable pairs should normally be used.
Higher levels can increase inductive coupling to adjacent pairs and may make it
more difficult to identify the correct pair.
Higher levels aid in the location of cables. The higher levels provide more signal
outside the cable for the pickup probe and amplifier.
The TriTone Generator3 tone level voltages are:
•
NORM
–
5V ac peak-to-peak
•
HI
–
10Vac peak-to-peak
•
MAX
–
20Vac peak-to-peak
