Using Tone Mode
Tone Mode is used to trace cables by sound. Selection of this mode emits a cadence
from the unit through the connected cable. Cadence is detected by a tone probe.
When Tone Mode is in use, the connected cable is tested for the presence of
voltage. If detected, a dynamic voltage warning displays until the unit is disconnected
from the voltage source.
1.
Connect a cable to the FaultChaser. Use connection accessories according to the
type of cable you are testing.
2.
Press the POWER button to turn the unit ON.
3.
Press the TONE button. The LCD display screen updates with the following
symbols and icons (see Figure 11):

The last selected cadence (HI, LO, HL1, and HL2) appears in the upper right corner.

can be adjusted.
