OPERATION
Locating and Isolating Cables
：
Using MT-7028 Networking Tone & Probe kit to locate and insolate
cables using the 1KHz analog, also trace twisted wires (UTP, STP,
Cat 5e, Cat 6) and telephone line (Cat 3). Use with a patch cord for
RJ45 / RJ11. Coaxial cable, general cable and various wiring boards
can be tested by using with alligator clip cable.
Warning
•
It is not intended to be used on live wires with a DC
power source (e.g., live telephone lines), nor will it work
on wire pairs that are carrying AC signals.
•
Use RJ45(8 pin)/RJ11(6/4/2 pin) compatible connector
for RJ45 cable tracing. Use RJ11(6 pin) connector for
RJ11(6P/6C/4C/2C) cable tracing. Use RJ11 (6 pin)
connector and work with alligator clips for coaxial cable,
general cable and various wiring boards.
Caution
•
To locate and isolate cables using the 1KHz analog
toning mode, please avoid interference sources like
electronic devices with adapter, induction coil, and
motors nearby. White noise from MT-7028 Receiver is
normal when your Transmitter is near any of the
interference. If you cannot locate the signal on
2-conductor cables, the cable may be shorted. Please
keep away from the interference sources or turn off the
electronic devices.
•
The position on the MT-7028 Transmitter and Receiver
lets you use the Receiver to trace using an analog 1KHz
tone. When using the Receiver to isolate the tone source
in the cable bundle or at the patch panel, the signal
might be interfered with or decreased and the signal will
not pass through metal tubes.
•
It is not necessary to touch the Receiver’s tip to the
cabling or patch panel when searching for the
Transmitter’s signal.
•
Make sure the black alligator clip of the Transmitter is
connected to the ground before use.
MT-7028 Transmitter provides two 1 KHz analog toning modes,
Hi/Low two-note tone, for location and isolating cables. Both toning
signals are available at all connectors on the Transmitter.
