INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
To Check the Status of a Phone Circuit
1) Move slide switch on left side of Turbo Tone
™
to the
STATUS
position.
2) Connect black lead to TIP and the red lead to RING
or
one
lead to each wire of the pair if designation is unknown.
• If
NRM
lights up, it means the polarity is correct and the
black lead is connected to TIP.
• If the
REV
lights, then the leads are reversed.
• If the
NRM
or
REV
LED is bright, the line is not in use.
• If the LED is dim, the circuit is in use.
• If both
NRM
and
REV
are on or flashing, an AC voltage
is present.
Application Hints:
The TIP signal is nominally at ground potential.
Attaching the black lead to a ground point and connecting the
red lead to each wire of the pair can identify the RING line. When
the red lead is connected to RING, the
NRM
LED will light.
The status LEDs also indicate a ringing line by both
NRM
and
REV
LEDs flashing brightly. To verify a phone line, connect the
Turbo Tone
™
in
STATUS
mode to the line to be tested and call
that line’s number from another line. The Turbo Tone
™
status
LEDs should indicate a ringing line.
To Check Continuity of a Circuit
Use only on non-energized circuits.
Any energy present may
damage the Turbo Tone
™
or cause erroneous results. Turn off
tone if necessary.
1) Move slide switch on left side of Turbo Tone
™
to the
CONT
position.
2) Connect one lead of Turbo Tone
™
to each end of the circuit
to be tested. If the DC resistance of the path is approximately
11,000 ohms or less, the
REV
LED will light.

Note:
The RJ jumper cable that has been provided with the
Turbo Tone
™
uses a unique colored modular connector
that can be plugged into a RJ11 jack or a RJ45 jack
without damaging either. Thereby allowing CAT 5 output
points to be accessed without using an adapter.
Warning!
Do not attach to live AC circuits. This could cause an extreme
shock hazard and damage the Turbo Tone
™
. Attachment to an
unknown circuit should always be in
STATUS
mode.

FEATURES
• Four tone amplitude levels—
normal and half plus TURBO normal and half
• Half amplitude is
unbalanced
for stronger
signal on twisted pairs
• Three distinctly different tones selected
from front panel
•
Constant Amplitude Signal
over life of battery
for 100% signal strength all the time
•
Auto-off
—tone turns off after 3 hours—
no dead battery if left on
• Tone may be added in any mode—
allows phone sets without monitor feature
to pick up tone
• No power draw in continuity mode with leads open—
no dead battery if left in continuity
• RJ jack allows use of modular cable without adapters
