6. For best results, use “Dual” for balanced line toning, and “Single” for
unbalanced line toning. Press and hold the “TONE” button to change tone
patterns.
7. Use the tone probe to detect tone signals along the cable length. Press and
hold the “TRACE” button to activate the tone probe. The “Power” light will
turn on when button is depressed. Use the “volume” adjustment located on
the side of the tone probe to set volume to desired level.
8. For quiet operation, insert standard 3.5 mm head phones into the headset
socket located on the side of the probe.
9. Set “tlk, cont, line/tone” switch on side of tone generator to the “cont”
position when storing. Leaving the switch in the “line/tone” position will
not cause any battery drainage unless the metal tips of the red and black
alligator clips touch
.
Testing phone circuit polarity:
WARNING! LIVE CIRCUIT TESTING - USE CAUTION
ENSURE THE TONE GENERATOR IS TURNED OFF
1. For testing directly into RJ11 wall jacks, use the RJ11 patch cord wired 1-to-1
connection.Connect the RJ11 patch cord into the top of the tone generator in the
RJ11 socket. (Proceed to Step 4).
2. For testing telephone boxes, discrete wire connections or open contact
connections, install the alligator clip cable provided into the top of the tone
generator in the RJ11 socket. (Proceed to Step 4).
3. To test RJ45 systems, use the RJ11-to-RJ11 patch cord provided to connect into
the top of the tone generator in the RJ11 socket.
An RJ11 plug is compatible to
insert into most RJ45 sockets
. The tone will be applied to the RJ45 two center
pins #4 and #5 respectively. In the event the RJ11 plugs on the patch cord is not
compatible with the RJ45 socket, use an RJ11-to-RJ45 adapter patch cable (
not
provided
) ensuring the two center pins for the RJ11 plug are mated to the two
center pins of the RJ45 plug, or use an 8-way RJ45 Modular Adapter (also known
as a banjo) such as the Paladin Tools model 1902 (
Modular Adapter is not provided
).
4. Set the “tlk, cont, line/tone” slide switch located on the side of the tone
generator to the “line/tone” position.
5. If the polarity for the TIP and RING is correct, the “Normal” light will turn on. If
the polarity for the TIP and RING is reversed, the “Reverse” light will turn on.
6. Perform steps 4 and 5 to check line status. If the line is not in use, the “Normal”
or “Reverse” lights will be brightly lighted. If the line is in use, the “Normal” or
“Reverse” lights will be dim. If the line is ringing, the “Normal” or “Reverse” lights
will flash.

Testing Continuity of Lines and Loads:
DO NOT USE ON LIVE CIRCUITS
ENSURE THE TONE GENERATOR IS TURNED OFF
1. Install the alligator clip cable into the top of the tone generator.
2. Set the “tlk, cont, line/tone” slide switch located on the side of the tone
generator to the “cont” position.
3. Connect the alligator clip test leads to the ends of the cable or across the
load to be tested.
4. If the DC resistance (continuity) of the cable or load is 12000
Ω
(12K
Ω
) or
less, the “Reverse” light will turn on indicating a path of continuity.
5. Set the “tlk, cont, line/tone” switch on side of tone generator to the “cont”
position when storing. Leaving the switch in the “line/tone” position will
not cause any battery drainage unless the metal tips of the red and black
alligator clips touch.
Talk Power/Battery Power for Butt Set Communications
DO NOT USE ON LIVE CIRCUITS
ENSURE THE TONE GENERATOR IS TURNED OFF
1. Install the alligator clip cable into the top of the tone generator.
2. Connect the alligator clips so the tone generator is in series with the butt
set at one end of the dead pair.
3. Connect a second butt across the dead pair at the opposite end of the line.
4. Set the “tlk, cont, line/tone” slide switch located on the side of the tone
generator to the “tlk” position.
5. Take both butt sets off “hook” open communications.
6. Set “tlk, cont, line/tone” switch on side of tone generator to the “cont”
position when storing. Leaving the switch in the “line/tone” position will
not cause any battery drainage unless the metal tips of the red and black
alligator clips touch.
