This kit gives technicians a high powered tone generator with alligator clips and a high quality tone tracing probe.
The high-power tone generator enables signal detection over 20 miles away and makes tracing through walls and enclosures easier with multiple tones and power levels suited for network, signal wire, coax, and telephone cable applications. Four tone amplitude levels include normal and half, high-powered normal and half, with the half amplitude unbalanced for stronger signal effect on twisted pairs. In addition, depending on test requirements, three distinctly different tones can be selected from the front panel. Paired with the ToneSeeker tracer the ToneMaster makes easy work of tracing and locating cables and cable ends.
The tone tracer is an ergonomic, high-sensitivity probe for field service professionals. Used in conjunction with any analog tone generator, it identifies wire and cable without having to make direct metallic contact with the conductor. Compatible with any analog tone generator, it emits a clear and loud tone as a cable is traced. Frequency filtering blocks out background noise and the auto-off extends battery life. The surface area and shape of the replaceable tip is optimised to detect weak tones and to penetrate wire bundles to make wire tracing easy.
ToneMaster™ High Power Tone Generator Features:
- 700% more power than standard tone generators
- Unbalanced tone mode supports longer distances on UTP cables
- Constant amplitude output ensures no signal decrease as battery discharges
- Auto-off for battery conservation
- Full talk battery to power a dry line
- Tone may be added in any mode – phone sets without a monitor feature can pick up tone
