C2G 26844 Tone Generator & Probe - Manual

Introduction
The Tone Generator is a highly practical network installation
and troubleshooting tool which features a single or multi-
tone signal, two test leads and a 4-conductor modular cable.
The signal emitted by the Tone Generator can be easily traced
by the Probe, even when cables are in a bundle or hidden in a
mess of punch down blocks or wall plates. The Tone
Generator & Probe can be used to verify cable continuity,
identify wiring faults, determine line polarity and voltage in
network (Cat 5 and Coax) and modular telephone lines. The
Probe is equipped with a tone amplifier and an LED indicator
that detects audible frequency tones for accurate tracing and
identification of wires.
