CONNECTION

 

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.

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.

3. Off

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 ad-

justed 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.

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.
