in a junction or wall box, use the HOUND Jr to
determine if the FOX Jr warble TONE is present. If
so, you may have found the cable you are looking
for. You may find that several cables in different
junction boxes produce similar strength warble
TONEs. This phenomenon is caused by crosstalk . .
. or “bleeding” of the TONE signal into other wires or
cables in proximity to the target wire. Sometimes,
the junction box contains several different wires/
cables, which due to size constraints of the box
itself, cannot be separated apart far enough to
identify the wire/cable with the TONE signal on
it. To assist in identifying the target wire, use the
“Remote Tone Kill” technique.
The FOX Jr supports the use of the Remote Tone
Kill test method. When the wire or wires (pair)
that the FOX is connected to, are shorted out,
locally or remotely, the warble TONE signal from
the FOX Jr is “killed”.
